A clip showing a young cat being suspended from its leash outside the window of a truck in Johor has sparked widespread anger and condemnation from netizens.
In the Threads post, it showed a bystander witnessing the cat being hung outside the window while its neck was still attached to the leash, causing it visible discomfort and pain.
After a few seconds, the driver proceeds to tug on the leash and swing the cat back into the truck by yanking on the leash.
The blatant display of cruelty left the bystander understandably shocked, who exclaimed in Malay: “What’s going on? Why is the cat being hung like this? Aduhai.”
In the caption, the heartless act reportedly took place along Batu 2 Jalan Mersing in Kluang, Johor.
Condemnation
Netizens were deeply horrified by the act of cruelty being done in broad daylight and slammed the truck driver for his inhumane deed.
They also questioned why no one stepped in to either rebuke the truck driver or rescue the cat from its misery.
At the time of writing, it’s not known whether a report was lodged with the relevant authorities.
Unfortunately, animal abuse isn’t something new in Malaysia as many animals have suffered at the hands of their owners:
