BESUT: Twenty cat carcasses were found at the Pantai Bukit Keluang resort here Sunday (March 6), with some believing that the felines had been poisoned.

       Reactions to a video clip, shared by a Sultan Zainal Abidin University employee, Badrul Hafeezy Ali, 35 on Facebook, showed many were shocked and disappointed at the incident.

       Badrul said he was shocked when he stumbled upon the cat carcasses at the location.

       “My friend, Roshanapi Osman, 39, and I were at the location at about 9.30am. We recognised all the stray cats and they were friendly with me because I would feed them whenever I had the time.

       “I feel very sad, shocked and angry with the attitude of the people who did this despicable act... what did the cats do to deserve this? I uploaded the video on Facebook and some have suggested that I inform the Veterinary Services Department so that an investigation can be carried out,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

       Badrul also lodged a police report at the Kampung Raja police station Sunday afternoon and hoped that those responsible would receive appropriate punishment.

       Terengganu Veterinary Services Department head Dr Anun Man confirmed receiving a report on the matter and that further investigation would be carried out. – Bernama
