3 dead dogs: $1,000 for information

 

 

 

THE decomposed bodies of three puppies, all female, were found in a container

of water at Jurong Island on Thursday.

 

SOS Animals, a non-profit stray animal rescue centre, is offering a $1,000

reward for information on their deaths.

 

Miss Sandy Lim, a 49-year-old businesswoman, found the bodies near an unmanned

security post on the island. She had gone there to pick up strays for adoption.

 

Ms Lim is the founder of SOS Animals.

 

The bodies were too decomposed to determine if death was by drowning or if the

puppies were killed before they were put into the water.

 

The puppies were four to five months old, said Miss Deirdre Moss, executive

officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), which

carried out the postmortem.

 

Under the Animals and Birds Act, anyone found guilty of cruelty to animals or

of abandoning their pets faces a fine of up to $10,000 and up to a year's jail.

 

Ms Lim also found two other male puppies, which she thinks may be the dead

dogs' siblings. They are now in her care, and are available for adoption.

 

Anyone with information about the puppies' deaths or who wishes to adopt the

two male puppies can call Ms Lim on 9455-1588.
