Hold Owners Responsible for ‘Pet Hotel From Hell’


From Force Change

Target: Abdul Aziz Jamaluddin, Head of the Malaysian Veterinary Services Department

Goal: Harsher penalties and psychiatric evaluation for the owners of the “pet hotel from hell”

Imagine returning home from vacation to find your beloved pet abandoned and starving.  This is what cat owners found in what animal rights activists have called “the pet hotel from hell” right outside of Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia.  Tell the Malaysian government to go above and beyond the maximum penalty for the owners of the pet hotel from hell for their shameful abuse and neglect.

When people finally entered the two locked and abandoned pet boarding sites outside of Kaula Lumpur in early September, they found over 300 neglected cats, nine of them dead.  Authorities claim that the cats were hungry, dehydrated and trapped in disgusting cages.  Some of them were sick; others were covered in urine and feces.  The owners, who ran the business for Malaysians who traveled in observation of holidays, have yet to be arrested and the fine for animal cruelty in Malaysia is only about 65 U.S. dollars.  Despite the fact that the head of Veterinary Services has announced plans to increase the fines to $36,000, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has recommended that the owners undergo psychiatric treatment and be banned from owning pets for life.

The stronger the punishment, the stronger the message that says, “animal abuse will not be taken lightly.”  The owners should not only be held accountable, but their mental health should also be called into question.  Sign the petition and demand a responsible punishment for the owners of the pet hotel from hell.

hoarding is a mental illness
but it is not a victimless
crime
and sad for all, we have
seen this far too many times
punishment is needed
so other abusers live
in fear
that when the law catches
up with them
a long jail term
is near
