49-year-old Leow Suat Hong is facing two charges after failing to take her sick dogs to the vet for treatment and 50 other charges.
The woman kept 60 dogs in her home and 14 of them died from a deadly virus. The virus is deadly to dogs and highly contagious, She allegedly fails to take enough precautions to care for the animals in her care leading to an outbreak of the virus to other dogs.
Court documents suggested that one of the dogs known as Dog 11 did not have any vaccination and died after contracting parvovirus. The 2nd charge is for another dog who suffered from ear infections and she did not bring the dog to a vet.
AVA was aware of the incident and took action back in 2016, but Leow refuse entry to the AVA officers. The officers told her that landed property are only allowed up to 3 dogs and the dogs are required for microchip and license.
Her failure to care for the dogs lead to the death of the 14 dogs and Leow disposed the dog’s bodies.
Tried to house the dogs in dog hotel instead of rehoming the dogs
She was told that the dogs needed to be rehomed but she failed to do so and house them at a dog hotel instead.
All 60 dogs belong to the same breed bichon-maltese crosses
Per charge for failing to take proper care of the pets Leow could be jailed up to 1 years along with SGD$10,000 fine and banned from keeping pets.
Netizen commented:
“The dogs confirmed not neuter and lead to the insane breeding of so many dogs.“
