KAJANG: The manager of a steel factory has found that six of his 20 guard dogs were poisoned to death.
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab said the 57-year-old
man had used 20 stray dogs to guard the place, unleashing them to roam
around the compound for security at night time.
The factory manager was shocked when he found six of the mutts dead when he came to work on Thursday morning.
“He brought the body of one of the dogs to the veterinary clinic to the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) hospital and was told that it had died of poisoning.
“He then lodged a police report,” ACP Abdul Rashid said.
Police believe the poison was given to the dogs through their food, adding that the other 14 animals had no trace of poison in them.
No suspect had been detected so far as the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage revealed nothing.
The case has been classified under Section 428 of the Penal Code for mischief for killing animals.
When contacted, the factory manager said he believed one of his foreign workers was behind the deaths.
