Pirated disc-sniffing
dog found dead: report
(KUALA LUMPUR) A dog trained to sniff out pirated discs, from a
Malaysian unit which criminals have made threats against, has been
found dead in the undisclosed location where it was kept, a report
said yesterday.
The New Straits Times said that Manny, a one- year-old golden
Labrador which arrived in Malaysia in February, died about a week
ago and that authorities were trying to determine the cause of
death.
'We have sent Manny's body to University Putra Malaysia for a
post-mortem,' said Roslan Mahayuddin, the enforcement director of
the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry.
'He had not started work yet so I doubt that there was anyone
who wanted to harm him,' Ms Roslan said, according to the
newspaper.
Manny and another dog Paddy were the latest additions to the
world's first anti-piracy canine unit.
The first dogs in the unit, another pair of labradors named
Lucky and Flo, made headlines last year after uncovering huge
stashes of pirated CDs, doing serious damage to the lucrative
illegal industry.
During a five-month stint during which they sniffed out 1.6
million CDs, leading counterfeiters placed bounties on their
heads.
Paddy and Manny, donated by the US-based Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA), began work in April after spending
some time getting used to the climate.
The MPAA had reportedly spent RM74,500 (S$31,333 ) to buy the
dogs from Northern Ireland.
The dogs are trained to freeze or sit down when they detect
polycarbonate and other chemicals used in manufacturing optical
discs.
Paddy, a black labrador, had been found badly abused by an
animal shelter before he was trained\. \-- AFP
