KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 23 -- After carcasses of a dog and a cat were found at a veterinary clinic in Damansara Damai recently, a lawyer has called for the veterinarian involved to be immediately hauled to court.

Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan, representing Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam Malaysia (PEKA), said the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) director-general should resign if the department fails to initiate court proceedings against the veterinarian within 24 hours.

Rajesh also urged the Malaysian Veterinary Council (MVC) to suspend the veterinarian and launch a probe into the alleged negligence.
