Community Cat Found Dead in Boon Lay & Was Allegedly Thrown from Height

Cats are cute and, according to our boss at Goody Feed, they’re the greatest pets ever.

Independent and regal, you don’t have to worry about them every minute of the day.

Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way and somewhere out there, there are people who dislike cats.

To the extent that they’ll throw them off a building.

On 12 Mar 2021, Facebook user Dennis Wei took to Facebook group Sayang Our Singapore’s Community Cats to reveal heartbreaking news.

One of the community cats at Boon Lay Place was found dead.

Emphasising that this isn’t the first time it happened, he claims that the cat could’ve been thrown from a building by the same culprit.

According to his post, this is the eighth or ninth time over the past few years.

He appealed for people with information to get in touch with him.

As a courtesy, he also said that the administrators of the page can delete his post if they found his content inappropriate.

Daughter Was A Victim Too

In a follow-up comment on the same post, Wei alleged that the dead cat’s daughter was a victim too.

She had loved her kittens a lot before they passed on.

According to MSNews, there wasn’t much revealed about the cat’s unfortunate demise as no one has come forward with information.

Wei, however, has lodged a report with the SPCA and the Animal Veterinary Service (AVS) after being urged to by a Facebook user.

Unfortunately, cruelty to Singapore’s community cats isn’t exactly new here.

Back in Mar 2020, a community cat Ah Gu was beaten to death at Bedok and hung up on an HDB pipe for residents to see.

And in Jun 2020, a community cat in Bukit Merah was allegedly poisoned to death intentionally.

For those who are guilty of cruelty to animals, you can be jailed for up to 18 months, fined up to S$15,000, or both.

Repeat offenders face double the penalty (up to 3 years’ jail and S$30,000 fine, or both).

Back in 2017, a person had dragged his poodle down 19 flights of stairs, leaving a trail of blood, before leaving it to die.

For his crime, he was sentenced to 18 months’ jail, and two additional months for abandonment.

Imagine going into prison and getting asked what you’re in there for.

“I killed a dog” probably won’t make you a popular inmate there.
