A video showing a young cat dangling from its leash outside a truck window in Kluang, Johor, has sparked widespread outrage, with netizens condemning the apparent act of animal cruelty.
The footage, shared by Threads account @kluanghariini, showed the cat hanging outside the vehicle with its neck still attached to the leash, appearing visibly distressed.
After a few seconds, the driver was seen tugging on the leash and swinging the cat back into the truck.
A bystander who recorded the incident could be heard expressing shock and questioning why the animal was being treated that way.
The post’s caption stated that the incident took place along Batu 2, Jalan Mersing, in Kluang.
The footage drew angry reactions from netizens, many of whom condemned the driver’s actions and described the treatment of the animal as cruel and inhumane.
Some also questioned why nobody intervened to confront the driver or rescue the cat while the incident was taking place.
Several comments expressed concern over the animal’s welfare, while others called for action against those responsible for mistreating animals.
However, it remains unclear whether a police report or complaint has been lodged with the relevant authorities over the incident.
The incident has once again drawn attention to concerns over animal cruelty in Malaysia, with the footage prompting calls for greater awareness and responsibility towards animal welfare.
