How can anyone do this? What kind of heartless bastard can condone this?
Sanctioned by the government too.

Its not just Malaysia, although they've probably brought it to another level by shooting tame dogs who are used to trusting humans. Pest control in singapore sometimes shoots and kills wild dogs.

Have you read the part about the dogs running around the house frantically, losing control of their bladder in their terror, trying to escape the guns?

True, Whereeagles, for irrational yet understandable reasons there are a few priviledged species that we are more concerned about than others: cats, dogs, humans. Some people add horses and rabits to the list.

Shocking story, cruel to say the least but aren’t we missing something here – this 56 & 66 year old couple kept 25 dogs in their home.
This is inhumane in itself and must carry other health risks and concerns for the dogs, the owners and their neighbors.

Quote

The team of enforcement officers from the Seremban Municipal Council had been sent to cull the 25 dogs kept in the Engs' home.
Council president Abdul Halim Abdul Latif said Mr Eng's neighbours had been complaining about the stench and incessant barking from the dogs.

Earlier attempts to get Mr Eng to move his dogs from the terrace house had failed.
So a court order was obtained in December, giving the officers the authority to cull the dogs.
However, Mr Abdul Halim said the council gave Mr Eng a grace period of six months to move the dogs out.
When no action was taken after the grace period ended, council officers held several rounds of talks with Mr Eng, but to no avail.
Council officers had brought along several veterinary department officers as the initial plan was to tranquilise the dogs first.
But the dogs became violent and tried to attack the officers.
