The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) has drawn attention to a recent case of animal cruelty after fish in a condominium pond were allegedly left to suffocate and die in a pond that was drained for cleaning. A video of the incident posted on Facebook by Acres on Tuesday (Mar 25) showed workers cleaning the pond after it had been emptied of water. In the video, which was provided by a member of the public, fish can be seen struggling and flopping around in the enclosure. Towards the end of the video, a worker was also seen tossing a dying fish onto the walkway. According to Acres, the pond, which has existed for 25 years, was drained and the fish discarded alive under the building management's instructions. In the post, the non-profit organisation dedicated to animal welfare, rescue and conservation noted that while the condominium had made efforts to rehome the red-eared sliders, no provisions were made for the welfare of the fish. Among the fish were tilapias, plecos and also stingrays. Read more
