A guy who videotaped a brown toy poodle with his cousin rather than stopping the diabolical act was fined $ 4,500 on Thursday (8 July).
41-year-old Clement Chia Tian Xiang repeatedly abused his poodle by tieing a string over his mouth suspending the dog in the air and beat the dog with a clothes hanger.
38-year-old Chia Yong Quan took 2 videos of the abuse and did not stop Clement from committing the act, at least 6 videos were uploaded online by the duo. The video shortly got viral and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) was alerted.
It took years before the culprit behind the viral video was uncovered.
Between 2016 and 2017, Chia Yong Quan filmed two videos of Clement beating and torturing the dog, the videos were between 16 seconds and 33 seconds long. One of the videos showed Leslie beating between the hind legs of the dog with his fist.
Throughout the incident, Chia Yong Quan did not stop Clement and the videos were eventually shared on Facebook.
