A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Penang, Malaysia, as a defenseless dog inadvertently ran onto a poorly lit road, intersecting with an approaching motorcycle. The collision left the canine with a broken leg, desperately seeking refuge. However, what followed was an appalling display of cruelty, as several individuals repeatedly struck the injured dog with sticks and even poked it with objects.
al-kisah tadi malam (8:38pm) Ada anjing melintas mengejut kt jalan kampung di Pulau Pinang. Anjing tu kena langgar dengan moto sebab kawasan kurang pencahayaan , and maybe kaki dia patah lepastu dia lari menyorok dalam longkang pic.twitter.com/USXVh1NOD0
