The protected wildlife was spotted by a concerned citizen who then posted it on Facebook which has now been shared by 665 netizens.It was also understood that a report had been lodged with the Sarawak Forestry Corporation , the enforcement arm of wildlife laws in the state, last week, which said it was aware of the case and the owner had a permit to keep the sub bear.
He said he was informed that the steel cage was like a tiny ‘hell’ and the sun bear kept biting the steel bars trying to free itself. Commenting on the case, Department of Wildlife and National Parks director-general Datuk Abdul Kadir Abu Hashim told Bernama that the sun bear is listed as protected animal, be it in the Peninsular or Labuan which fall under his department’s jurisdiction or Sarawak and Sabah under state government.
Meanwhile, World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia in a statement called for the sun bear to be surrendered to the authorities for rehabilitation, stressing that wildlife were not domesticated animals and therefore should be left in their natural habitat.
