KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Animal Association is offering RM10,000 reward for anyone who can provide detailed information on a viralled incident where a kitten was doused in gasoline and set ablaze.
In a posting on its official Facebook page today, the association said: "Animal Malaysia received incomplete information on the incident which was believed to have occurred in Pahang. But there was no detail for us to conduct further investigations.
"Animal Malaysia is increasing the reward from RM3,000 to RM10,000 for any individual or group who can confirm the location of the incident where a kitten was set on fire..."
The association hoped legal action could be taken against the perpetrator if the footage of the incident was genuine.
A 44-second video of the incident has set the social media abuzz, where many condemned the act and called for the perpetrator to be severely punished.
Those with the information on the incident should send the details via WhatsApp at 011-20901097. -- Bernama
