Animal abuse is defined as inflicting physical pain, suffering or death on an animal according to Malaysian law. There are several proposed solutions to addressing animal abuse, including education, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), mass media, and laws. Education can be formal, non-formal or informal and occur through various channels like parents, teachers, media, and friends. NGOs promote animal welfare through care, fundraising, and volunteering. Mass media can raise awareness of animal abuse issues and proper treatment of animals. Laws against animal abuse aim to protect animals and can be in the form of written legislation or unwritten legal precedents from court cases.

7. Types of Education
 Formal education
Formal learning is the learning that occurs in an organised and structured
environment & is explicitly designated as learning (in terms of objectives, time
or resources). Formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of view. It
typically leads to validation and certification.
 Non-formal education
Non-formal learning is a learning which is embedded in planned activities not
always explicitly designated as learning but contains an important learning
element. Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of view.
 Informal education
Informal learning means a learning resulting from daily activities related to work,
family or leisure. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or
learning support. Informal learning is mostly unintentional from the learner’s
perspective.

in wild animals and displayed them as

24. Law Definition and Types
Law is the principles and regulations establish in a
community by some authority and applicable to its
people, whether in the form of legislation or of
custom and policies recognized and enforced by
judicial decision.
Law - Written Law (Animal Act 1953, Animal Welfare
Bill 2012 in Malaysia)
- Unwritten Law

25. Written Law
Written laws are laws which have been enacted in
the constitution or in legislation.
Any person who:
Overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of necessary
food, drink, or shelter, cruelly beats, mutilates, or
cruelly kills an animal is guilty of a misdemeanor or
felony.
For example: People forced animals to fight to the
death and some cultures violent practices, such as
Spain’s Bullfighting, became traditions that still take
place today.

26. Unwritten Law
Unwritten laws are laws which are not contained in
any statutes and can be found in case decisions.
This is known as the common law or case law.
For example: A neighbour keeps his dog on a
cable day and night in the backyard.
As long as the dog has food, water, and shelter,
this does not fall within the legal definition of
cruelty.

28. “Law Teasers”
• The horse in the neighboring field stands in the
wind and rain all day.
– As long as the horse has food, water, and a
place to stand up, and can turn around and lie
down in an area not covered in water, this does
not fall within the legal definition of cruelty.
• A neighbor is shooting cats with a pellet gun.
– This is at least a misdemeanor and may be
charged as a felony.

29.  If a situation is unhealthy for an animal, but does
not fall within the legal definition of animal
abuse, approach the owner and suggest
different approaches to how they treat their pet.
 Report details so that Animal Control can
investigate.
 Ask other witnesses to also report.
 Do not wait until an animal's life is in danger.
 If you suspect abuse, document it and report it
to law enforcement(JPHN – Jabatan
Perkhidmatan Haiwan Negeri).
