The wildlife department has said the use of goats had been ineffective and an adult dog could not fit into the trap.
PETALING JAYA: The wildlife and national parks department has been accused of being inhumane in using puppies as live bait to capture a wild panther, with an animal rights group saying the action might be against the law on animal welfare.However, the wildlife group Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar said the Animal Welfare Act makes it an offence to abandon an animal in circumstances that could cause trauma, pain, suffering, or any form of distress.
Asked about the need for regulations governing wildlife capture operations, Rajesh said there should be none as wildlife should be guided back to their natural habitat after they venture into residential areas. “Using puppies as live bait treats the puppies as tools, disregarding their inherent value and right to a life free from unnecessary harm,” he said.
