Pet Farm Owner Fined S$180,000, Disqualified From Running Animal-Related Business

HIGHEST FINE IMPOSED ON AN ACCUSED PERSON FOR COMMITTING ANIMAL CRUELTY AND WELFARE RELATED OFFENCES.

The operator of Top Breed Pet Farm in Pasir Ris Farmway 2 has been handed a record fine of $180,000 and has also been disqualified from carrying out any animal-related businesses for six months.
