DOG THREATENED BY ELDERLY OWNER, INCLUDING USE OF CANE
The SPCA is aware of a concerning TikTok video circulating online, revealing an elderly woman engaging in threatening behaviour towards her dog, including the use of a cane. This individual had previously been identified by the SPCA regarding similar animal welfare concerns.
On May 4, 2023, staff from the SPCA and volunteers from the Moulmein-Cairnhill Constituency Office visited her residence. During the visit, we provided her guidance and counselling to ensure the well-being and proper care of her pets. A firm warning was issued, emphasising that further action would be taken if she did not comply with our advice. Regrettably, it seems that she has not followed the recommended guidelines. Thus, we will be taking further action and have concurrently escalated the matter to the authorities.
Just like us, animals can feel pain and distress. The SPCA firmly stands for using humane and force-free training methods. By rewarding good behaviour, we may address any behavioural challenges as well as build a foundation for a positive and enriching relationship between our pets and us.
We urge pet owners never to hit, hurt, or threaten their pets to make them behave. Such methods may contribute to heightened fear and anxiety in your pets.
If you witness any cases of suspected animal abuse, cruelty, or neglect, please call the SPCA’s emergency hotline at 6287 5355 (ext. 9), make a report at www.spca.org.sg/report, or email depinspector@spca.org.sg.
