The three Shih Tzus pictured, were found abandoned in an open field in the Lorong Halus Road/Pasir Ris farmway area by a member of the public, who brought them in to the SPCA on 2 December.
All three dogs were in a weak and poor condition, and died following intensive veterinary care. Their approximate ages were between eight and ten years old. All three had heavily matted fur, long nails and were suffering from cataract or glaucoma.
The SPCA is offering a $1000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the person/s responsible for abandoning these neglected dogs. If you can help, please call SPCA at 6287 5355 ext 9.
In Singapore, cruelty to animals is a crime. Under the Animals and Birds Act, anyone who is found guilty of such an offence including abandonment of any animal, can be imprisoned for up to 12 months, fined up to $10,000, or both.
