Petknode verdict out tomorrow

September starved pet scandal still fresh in pet owners’ minds

The verdict for the Petknode animal cruelty case, where cats and dogs had been discovered to be left starving at an illegal boarding center, will be announced tomorrow.

The trial began on June 11 and was followed by many animal lovers, particular those whose pets had been boarded and mistreated at Petknode.

At the trial, the defendants Shahrul Azuwan Adanan were jointly charged with 30 counts of neglecting responsibility and the welfare of the pets boarded at their center.

The pet owners pleaded guilty.

They face a maximum of six months' jail, a RM200 fine, or both for each offence upon conviction.

If the accused is found guilty and sentenced to jail. She will be praying that her jailer is not a dog or cat lover. She would definitely not like to be served dog or cat food daily while in jail. Well, at least she won't starve to death like her charges were.

All the pet owners who suffered losses should sue Shahrul off his pants. If one court cannot serve a fair judgement, go to another that can. If he is not taught a proper lesson, he is bound to repeat his cruel deeds again.
