Appeal and petition for stiffer sentence for Old Airport Road cat killer Wong Geng Thong

To:  Singaporeans

On 24 Aug, Wong Geng Thong, an air con technician was sentenced to serve 8 weeks in jail for torturing and killing a cat. This may not have been his first offense of this nature.

What he did:

1. Befriended a cat by feeding it then took it in his van to Blk 93A Jalan Dua off Old Airport Rd.
2. Tied a noose around the cat’s neck and lifted the wire to hang the cat by the neck
3. Everytime the cat lost consciousness, Wong revived it by massaging its chest. He repeated this cruel act till the cat could not be revived anymore.
4. He then removed the wire noose, grabbed the cat by the neck and bashed it’s body against the wall several times
5. Then he threw the cat’s body on the floor and kept kicking it

All that he did in the car park was captured by a spy camera.

Cleaners in the area have found the grisly remains of 10 cats in the neighbourhood over the past 5 months which is what triggered a group of volunteers to put up the spy cameras. These volunteers, along with the help of animal welfare organizations, have taken the time, money and effort to find the perpetrator of these senseless and cruel acts.

Yet when Wong Geng Thong was caught, he was sentenced to only 2 months in jail for what he did despite the fact that the psychiatrist who examined Wong was concerned he might abuse people too.

Most serial killers and murderers start their macabre “career” by torturing and killing animals. If unchecked, the likelihood of them progressing to hurt and kill people is very high. (Please read article written by Lynn Lam, Today Online http://www.todayonline.com/articles/127238.asp).

Under the Animals & Birds Act, the maximum penalty for abusing an animal is a fine of $10,000 or a maximum jail term of 12 months, or both. Question is, what does it take to incur the maximum penalty? Doesn’t such a calculated and cruel act as seen in the case of Wong Geng Thong deserve the maximum penalty?

If you feel that Wong Geng Thong deserves a harsher or the maximum penalty for what he did, please do the following:
