Cat Welfare Society shared the video of an interview it did with the ex-girlfriend of the Tampines cat abuser. The cat abuser, Fajar Ashraf Fajar Ali, admitted to throwing the cat from the 10th floor of a public housing block in Tampines. He then slammed it on the ground twice to ensure that it is dead. Fajar was sentenced to 18 weeks’ jail on 13 March.

The ex-girlfriend of Fajar, Sarah (not her real name), recounted how she was abused by him on several occasions. Once he even threw a mobile phone at her, causing a bleeding dent on her head.
Fajar would promise to change every time Sarah threatened to break-up with him, only to revert to his abusive self a few days later.
Fajar also had a split personality according to his ex-girlfriend. He is extremely nice to his friends and family. She said that they would never guess how violent he could get.
CWS said that studies around the world have shown that animal abuse does not happen in a vacuum, and that signs are almost always there in a history of misconduct and violence.
“Often however, it is only the closest ones who knows and they are the ones most likely to stay silent,” CWS said.
Adding: “We commend Sarah* for her bravery in coming forward with her story. We hope her story draws a distinct link that animal abusers do not just abuse animals.”
