They wrote, “We are looking for this man who slammed the cat near the mosque. This second incident of the cat getting slammed on the ground happened yesterday evening, 22 October at around 2:20pm and this time it happened at the Taman Sri Muda mosque, Shah Alam. MyAct was informed of this incident by the general public and we’re asking witnesses to step forward in order to make a report with the authorities.”
Apparently, the man has been going around slamming cats to the ground because they don’t seem to be eating the food given to them.
“The reason why the man is slamming cats is because he is angry that the strays that are constantly given food are not eating it,” they added.

Cruelty towards animals should never be condoned in anyway. We genuinely hope that the man is stopped before any harm can come to the cat. Also, it’s refreshing to know that the strays in the area are getting fed by kind-hearted people.
