A man who rescued a cat that was covered in white paint and left to die has sparked outrage and sympathy on social media.
The man, who goes by the name of @izzat_bashir posted on X recently showing the condition of the cat he found near a drain.
Sapa sapa pon, kalau tak suka binatang, jangan la zalim. Buang la dia kat tempat lain ka apa ka. But jangan la buat aniaya mcm ni. Kesian. Haih aku tak sampai hati la. Anyway aku dah inform pihak berkenaan untuk uruskan. Haih. pic.twitter.com/l77iD3h02f

He wrote: “If you don’t like animals, don’t be cruel. You can put them elsewhere but don’t be cruel. This is sad. I have informed the relevant authorities to handle this.”
The video shows the feline struggling to move or open its eyes; the way it meowed was also very mellow.
Bashir eventually showered the cat and the furbaby turned out to be a stripped little kitten.

“Such an awful behavior! Hopefully, the person who did this gets crushed by a cement truck multiple times, then the truck reverses back and forth seven times before flattening them for 20 minutes, and the cement falls on them. You’ll be in a coma for a very long time because your body got hardened by the cement.”
Semoga siapa yang aniaya binatang, neraka tempat dia kat akhirat nanti. Allahuma amin.

“Hopefully whoever hurts an animal will be placed in hell when the day comes.”
