Netizens have expressed outrage after images allegedly showed a cat hanging by its neck outside a moving 4WD along Jalan Mersing in Kluang.

A VIRAL post showing a cat dangling by its leash outside a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle in Kluang has triggered outrage among social media users.

According to a Threads post by @kluanghariini, the incident allegedly took place along Batu 2, Jalan Mersing, in Kluang.

Images accompanying the post showed what appeared to be a young cat hanging outside the window of a red 4WD, suspended by its neck while a person believed to be its owner was driving.

An update to the viral post stated that the vehicle’s registration number had been reported to the police.

At the time of writing, there had been no further updates on the cat’s condition.

As the post attracted widespread attention, some social media users questioned why the person who recorded the incident had not intervened to rescue the animal.

However, others defended the bystander, arguing that approaching the individual involved could have put the recorder’s own safety at risk.
