KLUANG: Police are tracking down an individual suspected of tying a rope around a cat’s neck and suspending the animal outside a four-wheel-drive vehicle’s window along Jalan Batu 2, Jalan Mersing, in Kluang.

Kluang police chief ACP Bahrin Mohd Noh said the incident came to light after a seven-second video showing the alleged act went viral on the Facebook page ‘This Is Johor’ at about 6.30pm yesterday.

He said preliminary investigations found that the suspect, who was travelling in the four-wheel-drive vehicle, had tied a rope around the cat’s neck before suspending it outside the vehicle’s window.

“Following the incident, a police report has been lodged, and efforts are underway to trace the suspect,” he said in a statement today.
