If I found someone torture animal, where should i report to?

Question

Recently I found that my neighbor becomes crazy and also torture his dog. Before this I already felt strange because his dogs always missing and replace with puppy. After a few weeks, it will disappear again.

Then last night, when I stand in front of my window, I saw he was beating his dog with a wood and the dog was screaming. He only stop after the dog die. I suspect he was eating dog's meat and so he do such thing to kill the dog.

I think this is a kind of animal torture activities and I want to report to relevant authorities, However, I don't know how and who I should report to in Malaysia. Anybody can help me? This is also helping other innocent dog from being killed by him!

I would call the police, and report what you saw. The police should be able to handle it. I know that there are cultures in Asia that will eat dog meat. In fact, I saw a news report once, where a couple was sitting in a cafe and ordering lunch. The waiter comes out with a cute little puppy and the guy says that he wanted that one. They took the dog into the kitchen, killed it, cooked it, and served it to the couple. I thought it was disgusting, but what can you do? I hope they have an organization similar to the ASPCA in your country. Please do something, as a dog lover, it breaks my heart.

Killing animal is oftentimes humane however, becaue its no longer that costly to do and it truly is known to meat is greater suitable while the animal isn't under pressure on the area of killing. I see it as a ailment waiting the popular manufacturing unit farm has created new lines of Flu and Mad Cow ailment. Salmonella is a lot worse now using fact of ways we take care of chicken. i've got faith over ninety% of all chicks come from 3 farms and that they sell to chicken farm to strengthen it as much as markettable length. think of in the event that they get a virulent disease in a sort of farm. The ailment ought to doubtlessly impression of a million/3 of all chickens. i think of we had a similar disaster interior the previous that we had to kill lots of the chicken. My father keeps talkig approximately it yet he does not remember the small print. by ability of ways, taking pictures a buffallo isn't that humane. you should omit or the arrow did no longer bypass by way of adequate.
