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.

Mean people at the lowest level

Everytime after I go to USJ 8 to see my client's dogs, I will drop by at USJ 5 to feed some stray dogs and cats. Actually it is the request of my client whose dogs and cats I pet sit for. On days when she is not out of town, she will go over there to feed the strays.
The food is served in two separate containers at a small spot of a dry 1 feet-deep drain. This morning when I was walking to the spot, there were feces in the drain, on one spot near the containers, and some traces of it in the containers. The feces belongs to that of a dog. I spoke to my client about this incident and she said that this is not the first time that this is has happened.
I do notice that I get very hostile stares by maids and residences when I leave food for them. And I do get paranoid feelings that after I leave, someone will throw away the kibbles I had left behind. Today, however, I never expected to see the result of such a demeaning action. Thinking back, I should have taken some photo shots, but was disgusted at that time to think of anything else. It is not that I am only feeding dogs. Cats are also the beneficiary. And I don't give leftover food which creates a mess. It's kibbles.
This residential area demographically comprises the middle to upper income group. Majority are Chinese. If they are the culprits - and not possibly the maids - I will hypothesise that people who are cruel to animals has no profile segmentation. It is just the unique behaviour and attitude of the Malaysian citizens.
There is much hype and outrage in response to animal cruelty. Responses like making police reports, collecting signatures as petitions to be given to the Prime Minister. Frankly, it is a waste of effort. It is just the nature of these minority people to behave that way. They cannot be changed.
