A Bow-and-Arrow Attack

Allan called us on the 13th of May 2014 to alert us about his neighbor who had shot two arrows at a dog.

Dog Shot Once in Its Front Leg and Once in Its Back

The Alleged Dog Shooter

The dog, named Brianna (a.k.a. Bree) which means "strong", was rushed to Animal Medical Centre (AMC) for emergency treatment. The vet at AMC treated the wound, but refused to admit Bree overnight as she was heavily infested with ticks. We brought Bree back to our Halfway Home where she was given a tick bath the next day, before we admit her to one of our regular vet clinics for further treatment.

Besides being partially blind and suffering from hip dysplasia, Bree was diagnosed with anemia and severe tick fever, as well as tested positive for heartworms. She appears to be a Rottweiler.

The case is currently under investigation and we would like to advise the public against taking the matter into your own hands. We have done the necessary - now it's the authorities' turn to do their part. Remember... When you go overboard with your harassment, they become the victims and you become the aggressor. The reversal of roles will only flush the case down the loo.

HOW YOU CAN HELP?

1. Make a report at any police station and ask the police station to forward the report to the Kajang District Police Headquarters. After that, please email your name and report number to mddb.updates@gmail.com

   Saya ingin membuat lapuran tentang insiden di mana seekor anjing baka Rottweiler telah dipanah oleh seorang penduduk di Taman Sinaran, Taming Jaya. Kejadian itu berlaku lebih kurang pukul 8.30 hingga pukul 9 malam pada 13/5/2014 di mana lelaki tersebut telah memanah anjing berkenaan dengan dua anak panah yang terkena pada kaki dan belakang. Berikut ada sebab-sebab saya membuat laporan ini;
   
   1. Menyalahguna peralatan sukan yang tidak sepatutnya digunakan didalam kawasan penduduk setempat (kawasan awam) yang mengandungi ramai kanak-kanak seperti tertera didalam video tersebut. Ini adalah sangat membahayakan kerana panah tersebut kemungkinan akan tersasar dan mencederakan orang ramai. Saya khuatiri sekiranya perbalahan antara jiran tetangga, orang ini juga akan berkemungkinan besar menggunakan anak panah atas orang awam juga. Ini berdasarkan pertimbangan dan tata susila orang ini sangat meragukan.
   
   2. Anjing terlepas atau anjing liar sepatutnya jatuh dalam bidang kuasa pihak berwajib (bomba atau jabatan perkhidmatan awam telah terbukti selalu menolong kes-kes sebegini) and merekalah yang sepatutnya dihubungi untuk menangani masalah ini, bukan mengambil tindakan membuta tuli lalu mencederakan binatang tersebut dihadapan kanak-kanak.
   
   3. Orang ini juga mempunyai niat jahat dengan mendera dan menyakiti haiwan dengan sengaja. Ini adalah unsur-unsur khianat dan akan mencetuskan kemarahan rakyat yang berbilang kaum dan menyayangi binatang. Saya berpendapat yang dia sepatutnya meminta bantuan jiran-jirannya untuk mengalih anjing itu atau pun mengunakan cara lain seperti memancut air kearah anjing tersebut.
   
   Saya berharap pihak polis akan mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya terhadap lelaki tersebut. Terima kasih.
