This news has undoubtedly disturbed many, many animal lovers today, especially cat lovers.
Given that DVS has said the following:
“Ia tidak menjadi kesalahan kerana ia tidak tertakluk kepada mana-mana undang-undang.
“Mengikut Akta Binatang 1953, adalah tidak salah perbuatan seperti itu dilakukan sekiranya untuk penyediaan makanan,” jurucakap jabatan itu dilaporkan berkata.

here’s what we recommend:
1 Keep your pets and community animals indoors, as many as you can.
2 Get as many as possible of street animals neutered. If you need aid, we offer: animalcare.my/aid/. Control the breeding and the population of street animals.
3 Some people remarked that the laws should be amended. If so, lobby for changes in the law so that it protects animals. But which animals? That is the question.
4 Make a conscientious effort to eat less meat. You may not want to be 100% vegetarian, but let’s please start by observing Meatless Mondays, or Veggie Thursdays (or both), or Meatless Weekdays. Every bit really helps.
All animals are conscious beings, capable of feeling pain and suffering.
Why love one but eat the other?
