Enraged netizens and readers wanted immediate actions to be taken. One reader wrote in'' Bring the poor dog to an animal shelter and slap a fine and jail term on that monster!''. There were other vicious and discriminating comments as well. All these reactions caused by a video. One showing a Singaporean woman hitting her dog with a broomstick and yelling at it. This video was filmed by her husband.
The objections were violent and especially infuriated animal lovers. I have mixed feelings and views on this piece of news. I was initially upset with the way a helpless animal was being cornered and beaten up. Later on, i realised that the dog had behavioural problems and had damaged much of the house furniture. Even though being repeatedly disciplined, it still continued with this behaviour. The neighbours have complained about it's uncontrollable behaviour as well.
However, I am not saying that it was right of her to discipline her dog using physical means. IT WAS DEFINITELY WRONG OF HER TO DO THAT. She could have instead send her dog to training school. If she was so troubled by her dog but really wants to keep it, she should be willing to spend money on it.
Officials have looked into the matter and probed further in. They have taken the dog away from it's owners but have not taken any actions against them as it was not as serious as seen in the video. She reported to have only used little effort and it has been proved. I think that netizens and some Singaporeans are reacting too strongly to this matter. They should let it go since the dog is in good hands now.
