TABANAN - Police are still looking for tenants of an abandoned house where 8 carcasses of abandoned dogs were found in Banjar Dukuh, Kerambitan, Tabanan, Bali.

"We have investigated that and currently we have tracked down several villas that were once occupied by people we suspect as perpetrators of animal abuse. We are still pursuing them," said Tabanan Police Chief AKBP Ranefli Dian Candra in Denpasar, Friday, April 22.

The identity of the tenant of the house who abandoned 8 dogs to death has been pocketed by the police. The tenant of the house is known to be a woman with the initials A.

"We have pocketed his name, only his current position is unknown. If he calls him A, he is an Indonesian citizen but not a Balinese but from outside," he added.

The police also conducted a search by tracing the villa rented by A in the Canggu area, North Kuta, Badung. The tenants of this house often change residences.

"And the communication device is also inactive. Information broke at the last villa in the Canggu area. Next, we don't know yet whether he returned to his area but we have already pocketed his identity and soon we will be able to find the person in question," said AKBP Ranefli.

AKBP Ranefli said the abandoned house in Banjar Dukuh, Tabanan Regency, Bali, was rented by the alleged perpetrators one year ago. Meanwhile, the owner of the house is a local resident.

Eight dog carcasses were found about a month ago. The tenant of the house with the initials A lives alone in the house.

"There is a snare for punishment, that is tipping into animal neglect, it is in the Criminal Code that carries a threat of 4 months in prison," he said.
