On Monday, 24 June, the Malaysian Animal Association (MAA) shared a gruesome video, showing a man slaughtering a cat using a cleaver

The man appears to be assisted by a few others, one of who holds the cat while someone else films the gruesome sight.

In a statement, MAA urged anyone with information about the man to come forward.

"Friends, relatives, acquaintances, neighbours, or anyone in the country who has seen the man slaughtering the cat, please provide complete information to the Malaysian Animal Association," the statement read.

According to MAA, they will file an official report with the authorities to investigate the incident.

SAYS is choosing not to include the video in this story due to its extremely graphic nature.

It is believed that the incident happened in Pasar Meru in Klang

MAA suspects the perpetrator to be an employee of a convenience store in front of the market, who lives in Batu Belah, Klang. He is also believed to be of Myanmar nationality.

It added that a thorough investigation should be carried out by the authorities to determine the man's intention behind slaughtering the cat, whether the cat was intended to be used as food or for content.

"We need to identify whether the cat was killed for food or entertainment purposes. If it is found that the cat was deliberately killed for social media content, the perpetrator must be brought to justice," it said, adding that killing cats for consumption is a practice that should not be normalised in Malaysian society.

The association is offering a reward of RM3,000 to anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest of the perpetrator
