There is a viral Instagram video showing a male cyclist pushing the front wheel of his bicycle against a ginger cat. A few people can be heard off screen urging the cyclist on with cheers of "Let's go, let's go" before he moved towards the cat. The cat appeared to be shocked and scampered away. This Instagram stories was captioned with "I love cats..." The cyclist was confronted on Instagram for his actions, but he said he was "playing only" and the cat was not injured and "still live happily ever after."

A poor dog was left in the sun because a helper wanted to "dry" him. It was so dehydrated it could not get up. The SPCA was alerted and has since informed the helper and owner not to do this anymore. So heartless!

Karen Teng, 47, said she saw a moving white mass, and when she went for a closer look, realised that the white mass was made up of many little rodents. A trail of bread slices had also been placed at the same spot, which leads to a forested area, which could have been used to lure the mice further away from the pavement. She estimated that the mice were about 6 cm long, minus the tail.

Concerned public members have reported to both AVA and SPCA between 2012 – 2014. The owner has promised SPCA to let the dog roam freely but revert to caging the dog after a few months. So how do the authorities handle such repeat offenders? From 2012 to 2016..this poor dog has not gotten the reprieve that it needs despite three visits from both SPCA/ AVA.

If you hit an animal with your vehicle or you see one that has been involved in an accident, you should render assistance. There are two 24 hour emergency animal rescue services in Singapore, both run by charities, which you can reach out to in such situations - SPCA at 6287 5355 ext 9 (for domestic animals such as dogs and cats) and ACRES at 9783 7782 (for wildlife such as wild boars and monkeys).

Our rescue officer, Daniel, rushed to the scene to rescue the dog but she had fallen off the ledge before our officer's arrival.

Guys, I need help. There are two dogs that are kept in cages 24/7 at Pasir Panjang. Three months ago a friend contacted SPCA, they went there, the owner refused to talk to them. Then she contact AVA and they went there and said the dogs are ok! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT! These dogs are kept in cages all the time, there is no way this is ok!!!!!!

Rabbit bag chains have been gaining popularity in Singapore. Some members of public have expressed their concern to us that these products are made of real rabbit fur. We investigated and found that the products are sold in numerous shops and that some sellers claim that the fur is real while others have said that its not. We have conducted our own in house tests on the fur and it unfortunately appears that the fur is real.

In another brutal cat killing case at Tampines Street 81, another cat has been found dead at the foot of a HDB block, the third case in the same housing estate in the past 5 weeks.

After a dog owner was caught on video slapping and kicking his husky, this is wat a man wrote in response to the case. He wrote, "Oh please. I punched my dog in the face a few days ago for trying to bite me as I came in the gate." As u can see from the screenshot, he added, "Some dogs, like people, only understand getting their asses kicked."
