Dog Burnt Alive After Being Tortured, Body Found In Parking Lot

Authorities in Malaysia are on the lookout for suspects who allegedly tortured a dog and burned it alive, before dumping its corpse in a parking lot.

The Malaysia Animal Association shared the horrific incident on its Facebook page. “A gentle dog is believed to be tortured first before its body was set on fire half blackened. Part of this poor dog’s skin was burnt and there were some severe injuries believed to be the result of a beating. A street dog feeder informed the Malaysia Animal Association of the death of a dog they used to feed in Taman Medan, Jalan Klang Lama,” the page read.

The body of the dog was found in the parking lot of the Block B flat in Desa Perangsang, the World of Buzz reported.

“It was informed that the area had CCTVs but the witness could not obtain the footage due to the noncooperation of the managing parties,” the page added.

The association appealed to the residents to come forward if they have any information about the culprits. They also urged locals to share the story of the animal cruelty crime.

"Channel all evidence and any related materials that can help track down the perpetrator until a case is completed,” they added.

According to local media, the area where the incident took place is home to residents who dislike stray dogs. There have been multiple cases of killings and poisonings this year, the World of Buzz reported.

The Malaysia Animal Association asked the public to contact them via WhatsApp at +60105394749.

In another animal abuse case in the country, a man was caught on camera throwing a cat into a mine filled with water. Last week, the Malaysia Animal Association released footage showing the abuse. “The Malaysia Animal Association is offering RM2,000 ($500) to witnesses who can successfully track the perpetrator who threw the cat into the mine. The act of throwing a cat into a mine like this cannot be forgiven. The cat could face the risk of death whether by drowning or getting eaten by predatory fishes,” the agency wrote at the time. It was not known when the video was taken. The fate of the feline was also not known.
