  • Animal Cruelty: Man Wrapped Up A Stray Cat In Masking Tape, Another Woman Abandoned Her Cat

    Animal Cruelty: Man Wrapped Up A Stray Cat In Masking Tape, Another Woman Abandoned Her Cat

    A man was fined S$6,000 for animal cruelty, after he wrapped up a stray cat in masking tape, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) said on Wednesday (Aug 23).

    Li Xiaojing, 30, admitted to wrapping the stray cat in masking tape after it entered his home.

    He claimed the cat had urinated in his home, and that he had taped it so that it could be taken away.

    The cat – with its entire body taped up tightly – was found by a member of the public at Ubi Avenue 1, community group Yishun 326 Tabby Cat said in a Feb 1 Facebook post appealing for information.

    The cat was taken to a veterinary clinic, where it had to be anaesthetised before all the masking tape could be removed.

    The cat did not sustain any physical injuries from the incident and has been rehomed.

    In a separate case, Noorfazanah Abdul Salam, 32, was fined S$3,000 for abandoning her pet cat.

    Noorfazanah said she had taken the cat to the vet on Nov 22, 2016, but took it back home as she could not afford the treatment for it.

    Later that same day, she abandoned the mixed-breed cat in a pet carrier at Sumang Walk in Punggol.

    A member of the public found the cat and AVA was alerted to the case the following day.

    The cat was in need of urgent veterinary attention at the time, AVA said.

    The cat has since been treated and rehomed, it added.

    Those who abandon their pets could be fined up to S$10,000 and/or jailed up to a year. Anyone found guilty of animal cruelty can be fined up to S$15,000 and/or jailed up to 18 months.

  • Cat Gruesomely Murdered At Bukit Batok, Police Report Made

    Cat Gruesomely Murdered At Bukit Batok, Police Report Made

    Twitter user harleen shared disturbing photos of her murdered cat along the HDB stair well at Bukit Batok West Ave 7. She claimed that a neighbour could be responsible for this heinous act. The cat allegedly had its head smashed against the wall and threw down the stairs from the trauma at the right side of its head.

    “My cat was murdered at Bukit Batok West Avenue 7. We suspect that my cat somehow sneaked out of my house and a neighbor smashed his head and threw him down the stairs. There’s a trauma at the right side of his head where most of the blood is coming from. He’s only 10 months fucking old i swear to god whoever who did this to Dan i hope you fucking rot in hell.

    honestly we’re in shock but they never dare to venture out of the house. the furthest they went is always at our shoe rack. my cats aren’t ever a nuisance. they stay in my bloody house and never go around meeting other strays or even disrupting other homes

    update: so I’ve met up with the police and ava officer and while the police checks the cctv, we’ve hand over Dan’s body to the awa for post mortem to figure out his cause of death. we’ve ruled out poisoning and falling from my house window as i live on the 10th storey. currently undergoing investigation and I’ve handed over my cat for post mortem to find out cause of death

  • Cat Abuser In Ubi Wraps Cat’s Body With Masking Tape

    Cat Abuser In Ubi Wraps Cat’s Body With Masking Tape

    This story gets progressively worse as more information is gathered on what happened to the cat.

    On Feb. 1, Facebook page Yishun 326 Tabby, a group consisting of 5 volunteers who rescue and treat community cats, put up this post.

    The post basically called for volunteers to help rescue a cat, later to be named Jon Snow, who had apparently gotten caught in a glue trap.

    The rescue

    They eventually managed to rescue and send the cat to Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group.

    Here’s what it looked like.

    tape cat 3

    Far worse than a glue trap

    Now this is where the story gets even more horrifying.

    While glue traps are horrible in it’s own way, the vets at Mount Pleasant came up with an alternate theory.

    Initially, rescuers thought Jon Snow might have stepped onto a glue trap. But actually this seems worse. Because the cat could have stood there, trustingly, while its abusers taped it up.

    In fact, the cat was so stressed out that they had to place it under general anaesthetic to remove the full body tape.

    Here is the video detailing how they ultimately helped the cat out of its predicament.

  • Is There A Cat Killer On The Loose?

    Is There A Cat Killer On The Loose?

    A serial cat killer may be on the loose in Singapore.

    Some 50 cats have died at the Beach Road housing estate over the past three years and they appeared to have been abused, according to a YouTube video posted on Christmas Day by Coconuts TV.

    The dead cats were found with broken bones and some people suspect they were killed using a slingshot or were thrown from a balcony. Some residents have one suspect in mind, but no eyewitnesses have come forward.

    “Problem is a lot of eyewitnesses are not willing to go to the police or AVA to point fingers at this guy,” said resident Anthony Hong, who started the website Save the Beach Road Cats, said in the video.

    Authorities have reportedly looked into the matter. However, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) claimed they could not find evidence to show whether humans caused the wounds on the cats, according to the video report.

    “I do understand that the resident of that neighbourhood had reported it to the police and they had also hired a private investigator to look into the suspect… however, the police and the investigator came out short without forensics examination to determine whether they were puncture wounds caused by a sharp object or puncture wounds caused by a dog bite,” said Corinne Fong, executive director of Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

    There is also very little that SPCA could do as they have no power to detain or even “enter a suspected animal abuser’s home”, according to the video.

    Meanwhile Joanne Ng, the chief executive officer of the Cat Welfare Society, seemed frustrated at the lack of actions undertaken by the authorities.

    “Why are the authorities not doing anything about it? What happens if the person who is doing all this harm ends up murdering a small kid? Only then we’ll think it’s enough? And only then we’ll do something about it?”

    She added, “But then it would be too late right? By then, you’ve already shaped a monster.”

    If the suspect is convicted, he or she could be liable for a maximum penalty of a $10,000 fine and a year in jail.
