VIDEO CIRCULATING: ABUSE AT A PET SHOP

The SPCA is aware of a video being recirculated online. It shows a dog at a pet shop, cowering in a corner while getting hit repeatedly with the wand of a vacuum cleaner.

This is an old video which was reported to the SPCA in November 2022. Our Inspectorate had escalated the case to the authorities. They have since taken enforcement action against the offender for causing unnecessary pain or suffering to the dog.

We urge people never to hit, hurt, or threaten their pets as they can feel pain and distress just like us. Under the Animals and Birds Act, individuals found guilty of cruelty to animals (including abandonment) can face a jail term of up to 18 months and/or a maximum fine of $15,000.

If you witness any cases of suspected animal abuse, cruelty, or neglect, please call the SPCA’s emergency hotline at 6287 5355 (ext. 9), make a report at www.spca.org.sg/report, or email depinspector@spca.org.sg.
