Kuala Ketil: The two Rottweiler dogs that attacked and bit five individuals in Taman Desa Bidara, Kuala Ketil, have been euthanised. Kedah Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) director Dr. Shaharul Amar Talib confirmed the decision following an inspection of the dog owners’ home.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, upon receiving information about the incident, the Kedah DVS acted swiftly. Dr. Shaharul Amar Talib stated that the unneutered male Rottweilers were challenging to approach. However, the owner cooperated by voluntarily surrendering the dogs to the Kedah DVS and agreeing to their euthanasia.

The Kedah DVS carried out the euthanasia of both dogs yesterday. Samples from the dogs have been collected and sent to the Bukit Tengah Veterinary Laboratory in Penang for rabies analysis.

BERNAMA had earlier reported that the attack resulted in injuries to five individuals, including a Saudi Arabian university student. The victims sustained injuries to various body parts. Social media posts also surfaced, showing several individuals receiving medical treatment and being transported by ambulance after the attack by the two black-coloured dogs.
