Singapore – Kitten Stuffed Into A Container At Tech Park Spurs Outcry Amid Calls For Harsher Animal Cruelty Laws – Fortunately; It Survived.

A disturbing case of a kitten stuffed into a container at a workers canteen in Tech Park Crescent has triggered renewed public outrage and intensified calls for stronger animal cruelty legislation in Singapore.

CCTV allegedly captured the incident; but a Manager refused to hand it over to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – the SPCA. The site supervisor was allegedly aware of what happened; but by refusing to hand over the CCTV footage; the SPCA then took further action by taking the case to the Animal and Veterinary Service AVS for further investigation.

Fortunately, the suffering, abused kitten was released after about one and a half hours; during its time confined in the container it was allegedly rolled around the floor. This is where obtaining the CCTV footage is essential.

Read what is known AT PRESENT here https://theindependent.sg/kitten-stuffed-into-a-container-at-tech-park-spurs-outcry-amid-calls-for-harsher-animal-cruelty-laws/ but this emphasises why tougher anti cruelty legislation is desperately required in Singapore.

Every Day, Step After Step, His Harness Cuts Deeper.

Every day, thousands of working animals carrying heavy loads through busy streets. Their owners, many of whom are living in poverty themselves, rely on the use of these animals as their only source of income. One major problem is, that despite doing their best to help their own animals; they often use makeshift harnesses, of rope, wire and rubber; unaware of the damage that these can cause.

For the animals it is a downward spiral of silent suffering.

But SPANA, a London based charity is there to help by using a team of travelling veterinarians who travel around different locations giving much needed AND FREE advice, veterinary TREATMENT and very much welcomed NEW AND SUITABLE FREE HARNESSES to the animals owners. All of this is supported financially by SPANA supporters and donators.
