The case of pet removal such as cats and dogs increased threefold in the area around Kuala Lumpur during the implementation of the Restricted Movement Order (RMO) order.


Most of the new animals are detected in that area in healthy, docile and very clean conditions


According to the Malaysian Animal Association, the matter is detected based on the information there is a new cat and dog in one area guarded by the street animal provider.


For example, assuming one area has five dogs, but the amount rises to 18 to 20 tails throughout this RMO.


Add more, most of the newly detected animals in the area are healthy, docile and very clean, pointed out that it is an embedded animal.


Besides that, the animals found are in the industrial area, believed as the area is quiet and to obscure the eyes of the public.


The association also did not deny the possibility that the animal discarded this was because the owners felt concerned about the infection of the disease, apart from being unable to continue to conserve their pets due to the loss of income during the PKP season.


According to the Malaysian Animal Association, the matter is detected based on the information there is a new cat and dog in one area guarded by the street animal provider.


In this regard, the association urged the authority to allow installation of the microchip in their pet to facilitate the detection of this animal owner if it is discarded.


Meanwhile, the animal owners found to leave any animal causing it to neglected, sick, hunger and thirst, can be prosecuted under the Animals Welfare Act 2015, with a fine penalty of not less than RM20, 000 and not more than RM100, 000 or imprisonment not exceeding three years.
