Dog rescued after cruel owner watched his dog hanging from tree

A viral video posted this week on social media showed the disturbing details of a man standing on the side of a road torturing his dog in Malaysia. The dog had been tied with a rope around his neck and left hanging from a tree; the man just watched as his dog struggled to breathe.

According to Free Malaysia Today, authorities from the Selanger Veterinary Services Department arrived at the scene just in time and rescued the dog. The owner complied, but not without being aggressive to the dog’s rescuers.

Muhammad Yoges Balaraman, 35, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary pain or suffering to his dog under Section 29(1)(e) of the Animal Welfare Act. Kuala Langat police chief Azizan Tukiman stated  Yoges had been receiving treatment for mental health issues for the past three years.

Balaraman has been fined $9,000 and since he is unemployed and not able to pay the fine, he will serve one year in prison. The dog has recovered and is expected to be made available for adoption.
