The dog was painted bright orange with black stripes.
Authorities and animal lovers in Malaysia are outraged after a dog was found painted orange and black to resemble a tiger. Persatuan Haiwan Malaysia or the Malaysian Animal Association shared images of the dog on Facebook, where they have led to an outpouring of anger and demands that the accused be arrested.
The animal rights group has appealed for more information on the incident in an attempt to track down those responsible for painting the dog.
Dyeing the fur of animals is a practice that has invited criticism in the past as well. Those opposing it argue that the paints used on animals can be toxic and potentially harmful.
“Help Animal Malaysia identify the location and who this animal belongs to,” the animal rights group wrote while sharing four photos of the dog. The pics show the canine roaming the streets of an unidentified city, its fur painted a bright orange with black stripes.
