Barely three weeks into the new year and already a case of vicious animal cruelty has been reported — two dead cats were found at Telok Blangah, one of which had its throat slit.
Speaking to The New Paper, 38-year-old Taffy Ng expressed her perturbation over the grisly scene when last Friday when she and her family found two dead cats lying on a grass patch at a carpark near Mount Faber Green. Suspecting foul play was involved due to the proximity of their bodies, her husband went to inspect the cadavers and found that one of them had its throat slit. They later took photos of the gory find and reported the case to the Singapore Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
Residents of the area have mentioned that stray cats are a familiar sight in the estate, all of which are friendly to strangers — a trait that animal abusers might take advantage of.
The SPCA has urged anyone with leads to the case to call their 24-hour hotline (6287-5355 ext 9).
