Her tweet, filled with emotion and a sense of urgency, has since gone viral, sparking widespread concern and a call to action.

“KORANG PLEASE KITA KENA TOLONG ANJING NI (“EVERYONE PLEASE WE NEED TO HELP THIS DOG),” Cavill tweeted, her message resonating with animal lovers nationwide.

Addressing Abuse: Upholding Laws that Protect our Furry Friends

The post, accompanied by details for reporting the incident to authorities, showcases the power of the community in advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Local animal welfare organizations have also been mobilized, with volunteers ready to provide medical treatment and rehabilitation for the abused dog.

The public is reminded that animal abuse is a serious offence under Malaysian law, and they can report any such incidents to DVS.

In Malaysia, the primary legislation that addresses animal welfare and protection against abuse is the Animal Welfare Act 2015.

This Act was a significant update to the country’s animal welfare laws, providing a more comprehensive framework for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
