WARNING DISTRESSING FOOTAGE: Sickening moment helpless dog is dragged behind a scooter in Bali
- Bali local filmed woman on scooter dragging dog
- An animal welfare group said they had involved police
Appalling footage of a small pet dog being dragged behind a scooter in Bali has sparked uproar with police now investigating.
The clip was filmed and shared to Instagram by Denpasar local Nang Bryan, 42, who drove behind the woman earlier this month while on his way to pick up his children from school.
The dog can barely keep up with the scooter despite furiously moving her legs and can be seen more than once scraping on the road as she's dragged along.
A Bali local on his way to pick his kids up from school drove behind the woman who was pulling along her dog
Mr Bryan explained in the caption to the post, which has been picked up by several Australian and Indonesian news sites, that the dog's leash appeared to be tied to the bike's handle and that the woman only stopped when he confronted her.
She claimed the dog was too small to hop onto the scooter but when Mr Bryan got 'angry' she picked the animal up and placed her on the bike.
He added that he was in a rush to collect his kids so did not report the woman to authorities.
But after the clip went viral an animal welfare group contacted him, while another group Animals Hope Shelter Indonesia separately said it has forwarded the woman's number plate to police.
The pet could barely keep up and was at points scraping its legs on the bitumen
Police confirmed to local news outlet Coconuts Bali that they are investigating.
Animal abuse can carry a nine month jail term in Indonesia.
Commenters on the video were outraged.
'I really hope the dog is okay and can be rescued soon,' one person said.
'Who would do something like that?' another said.
Some commenters even scolded Mr Bryan saying he should have done more to help the dog.
'Leave your phone in your pocket and save the innocent animal,' one person said.
'Then, if you feel good enough about yourself, post the treatment or just do a good deed without showing the world,' they added.
