Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysian pet owners and activists who found nearly 300
starving cats caged and soaked in excrement at pet care centers have demanded
sterner laws against cruelty to animals.
The felines
had been left with a company that was supposed to take care of them in
Malaysia’s central Selangor state while their owners returned to their
hometowns to celebrate the Muslim festival of Idul Fitri.
Rescue
volunteers broke into the company’s two facilities Sunday and discovered the
emaciated cats.
Activists
estimated at least 12 cats were dead and dozens more were missing.
Christine
Chin of the Malaysian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said
Tuesday the case has energized activists to push for stronger prosecution of
people who mistreat animals.
