STOMPer Elson witnessed a cat being run over by a cabby, who drove off immediately without helping the injured animal.
The STOMPer was appalled by the driver’s inhumane attitude and behaviour.
Elson says:
“Just a few hours ago (21 Feb), I witnessed a hit and run at Tampines St 43, Blk 480 at 10:45 pm.
“A taxi driver ran over a cat. It may not have been the driver’s fault, but at least he could have just stopped to see what he could have done for the poor cat.
“As a passer-by, what I could do was just to bring the cat from the road to the pavement and call the National Environment Agency.
“I stood there helplessly watching the cat die. At least there was one driver who stopped and asked if I needed help.
“People should at least have the decency to stop and try to help. What is happening to the morality of Singaporeans? Do they just care about themselves or is it that they feel that animals don’t deserve to be treated in a better way?
“It has been already 8 hours since the accident happened. The poor cat is still on the pavement despite numerous calls we made to the NEA to request for somebody to come down to help dispose of its body.”
