Non-profit organisation Action for Singapore Dogs (ASD) recently put up a Facebook post that should enrage dog lovers everywhere — a stray canine badly wounded by a steel wire trap.
Sightings of the bloodied-up dog in Lim Chu Kang were first reported on the eve of Chinese New Year, suspected to be a female whose previous litters of puppies were rescued before. After days of searching, volunteers finally got hold of the clearly petrified dog, which still had the steel wire embedded deep in its torso.
"Any longer, the steel wire could have easily severed her spine, paralysing her and most likely, lead to a horribly slow and painful death," they wrote.
