Witnessing of a dog being hunted down by Malaysian Malay boys.

Tuesday 29 November 2011

On November 25, at 12am, I was awoken by sounds of motorbikes and my dogs barking. As I got up from my bed, my neighbours dog at the end of the cul-de-sac road where we stay were starting to bark furiously.

As I looked out the window on my left, I saw two motorbikes with 2 Malay boys on each of them. What I am subsequently describing is what you see on the CCTV images. You wont be able to see the motorbikes on the left because they are covered by the trees.

The first motorbike goes over to the right (where the dead-end road is), and turns back to the opposite direction. A lot of commotion in Malay language was being made. Then one of the boys walk over to the end road, and quickly runs back. At this point in time, I do not have any idea what they were up to. Neither could I see the end of the road because it was not lighted up enough by the lamp post for good visibility. After a lot of loud talking among them, another boy took a long stick and runs over to the dead -end road. 

It took a lot of squinting to notice a black dog running at the opposite row of houses to the opposite direction of the road. The boy with the stick gave chase, followed by another boy. As the dog sprinted to an open escape, the other two boys on the motorbike revved off to chase the dog, while their two friends got on the second motorbike.

I stood at the window for 5 minutes in disbelief at what I witnessed. I was waiting to hear any sound of the dog yelping. I have seen this dog before while walking my dogs in the morning. It is a female and she is very afraid of humans. As I was still peering out the window, I realised how well coordinated these 4 boys were. They were hell bent on not letting this dog escape. I wondered how much the dog had to suffer before reaching the road where I stayed, and how much longer she had to endure after that.

I went back to my bed hoping at least these Malay boys will get immediate karma. As they were not wearing any helmets, I was hoping they would get knocked by a car.




A long time ago, I have posted a blog entry about little Malay boys verbally abusing my dogs while I was walking pass their house. In fact, just last night, these two boys from this house were making "woofing" sounds. I just don't comprehend  why are Malays the only race who abuse dogs whenever they see these creatures on the streets. It is almost like an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). They will taunt, stamp their feet to scare them, chase them( if they have a weapon), throw stones. This is in spite of them being so religious. And also in spite of the followers claiming that their religion does not condone violence. In fact, just about two weeks ago, the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, made a statement in the media reiterating that Islam does not condone violence. That statement was made in reference to violence towards other human beings. I get this feeling that the word "violence' and "non-violence" does not apply to animals.

I believe in karma, and I believe people like these four boys will get an emotional and physical treatment - either in their remaining existing lives, or in the afterlife.
