Latest Update On The Irresponsible Cat Breeder's Case

On November 24th and 25th, the Malay Mail reported the case of Abdul Rashid Mohd Othman, 50 who was charged for cruelty towards the cats he confined in allegedly horrific conditions for the purpose of breeding.

Abdul Rashid, an automobile company employee, has been rearing pedigree felines for the past 15 years to sell at pet shops and to cat lovers. He is also a member of an online cat fan club! These are the photos that did not appear in the local media. These photos were obtained from SPCA to show the condition of the cats when the SPCA went with the Veterinary Services officers to investigate a complaint on animal abuse. These were the pathetic faces they found at Abdul Rashid's house at Sri Petaling.

According to the Malay Mail report the enforcement official claimed that the odour of faeces and urine at Abdul Rashid's house was so overpowering that he and his colleagues had to repeatedly go outside for fresh air.

In his defence all Abdul Rashid could say was that the Veterinary Services and SPCA officials had substituted his healthy cats with sick ones in a so-called attempt to frame him. Bizzare? Go figure. The trial of this case is set for January 3, 2006.
