A dog in Malaysia was pushed out of a car to be abandoned at an animal shelter only to be killed by the car it was dumped out from.

An eyewitness account of the incident has since been put up on Facebook:

The animal shelter, Noah's Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary, is located in Johor Bahru.

The Facebook post also revealed that the dog was dumped by two people in a Malaysian-made car.

The dog was killed after the car accelerated to get away.

The dog was hit as it tried to chase the car.

We can only imagine that in the dog’s mind, her last few minutes of life were filled with joy of going for a car ride with people she trusted only to be betrayed at the last second.

This dog didn't deserve to die like this. She deserved a last act of human decency and compassion. We buried her and planted a sapling on her grave.

About the animal shelter

According to its website, Noah’s Ark was founded in 1995 by Raymund Wee in Singapore.

In 2000, the sanctuary, including all its inhabitants, moved to a 10-acre site in Johor, Malaysia.

This free-roaming sanctuary with a no-kill policy is now home to 700 dogs, 300 cats, 10 horses, three primates, a wild boar and many other rescued animals.

DOG MURDERED BY ITS OWNERS

Eyewitnesses informed us that a white MYVI car with 2 persons drove up to our sanctuary gates and pushed a dog out from the car. In the haste of leaving the “crime scene” as there were eyewitnesses watching, the driver stepped on the accelerator. The dog tried desperately to run after the owner’s car and was hit by the car.

The car didn’t stop and sped off .

The eye witnesses ran to our gates to alert us . Uncle Raymund dashed out to check on the dog which laid in the middle of the road.

Sadly, the dog had died on the spot, from internal haemorrhaging.

Uncle Raymund moved the dog to the side of the road to prevent vehicles from running over her.

We can only imagine that in the dog’s mind, her last few minutes of life were filled with joy of going for a car ride with people she trusted only to be betrayed at the last second.

This dog didn't deserve to die like this. She deserved a last act of human decency and compassion. We buried her and planted a sapling on her grave.

We are aware of irresponsible dumping of unwanted pets in the vicinity of the Santuary. Injured or sick pets that are wary of strangers will eventually succumb to their injuries or illness and die a slow and agonising death.

Are you expecting a garbage collector to recycle your unwanted pets?

Do not abandon your pets. Pets do not have the survival instinct. Re-home them, neuter / spay them but don’t leave them.

As higher-functioning humans , we have the responsibility to do what is right.
