I READ about cats being killed in Serangoon North Avenue 1 and at Bayshore Park condominium on citizen-journalism website Stomp.

As cat-abuse cases seem to be on the rise, the authorities should review the penalties imposed on offenders.

As fines and short jail terms seem to be having no effect, why not consider imposing stricter penalties, such as caning and longer imprisonment terms?

Cats, dogs and other animals have the right to share the earth with humans.

They do not deserve to be treated like refuse.
