TV show in which man kicks dog as punishment sends the wrong message to children

I was watching a local production on Channel 8 titled 'My Dear Kin' on March 7 when I was shocked to see an actor kicking a dog to teach it a lesson for biting a child.

My niece, who was also watching the programme, ran over and asked me if she could similarly kick our pet dog if our dog misbehaved. I believe any right-minded person who owns a dog would have given his dog just a light rap as punishment.

I hope that MediaCorp TV will take the effort to do some research (as in the right way to discipline a dog).

It is important for our young generation to learn that such abusive behaviour is wrong.
