KUALA LUMPUR: An animal welfare group has urged authorities to investigate alleged sexual abuse involving a cat after a video surfaced on TikTok.
In a statement tonight, Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia (SAFM) called on the police, the Department of Veterinary Services and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate the footage and verify the claims.
"Such allegations must be taken seriously. If proven, the act would constitute a grave form of animal abuse that warrants stern action under Malaysian law," it said.
SAFM urged authorities to investigate the possible application of Section 377 of the Penal Code and Section 29 of the Animal Welfare Act 2015, where applicable.
