Recently, the mysterious case of the deaths of cats at a local higher education institution went viral. It even led to Bandar Tun Razak MP Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail calling for immediate action and a thorough investigation to identify the cause of the gruesome deaths.
A couple of days after the revelation, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that stray dogs were behind the deaths of the cats at a local higher education institution based on CCTV footage.
In a statement, Rusdi said the CCTV recording showed the cats were attacked by a pack of stray dogs in incidents reported on December 17, 20, and 21, 2024.
“The matter was referred to the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS), which verified that the injuries sustained by the cats were consistent with attacks by wild dogs.”
He also urged the public to refrain from speculating about the case to prevent unnecessary anxiety.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Kuala Lumpur Police Hotline at 03-2115 9999 or the nearest police station.
We’re glad that it’s all over now.
