A drawing corner and drawing materials will be available for children who wish to draw at the Zoo itself.

Singapore Cat Abuser

"I was informed by a friend who worked at a vet that a customer came in with a dying cat, along with the letter.

"The owner told my friend that their cat went missing for 3 to 4 weeks, and was later found at their doorstep inside a plastic bag together with the letter.

"The letter mentions that the cat was kidnapped and tortured extensively. The abuser even went as far as to describe the details of the torture.

"The cat is now in its last moments and may leave this world at any time. I hope this pyscho gets apprehended and faces the highest degree of punishment there is in this world.

"There are a lot of cases of cat abuse in Singapore, and very few of the abusers have been caught. Cats are being cut apart, thrown from buildings, and even beheaded.

"I do not understand what kind of sick-minded people who do such a thing to another living thing, let alone a helpless animal.

"Please share this post with all your family and friends. I hope someone who has any information on this case will step up and inform the authorities if you know who the culprit is.

"To that sick-minded person, I hope you get help soon. Please help yourself before you actually kill someone."
