Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are searching for the woman they believe to be in Singapore

Black and white dog's attempts to cry out after stifled by tape around its mouth

Animal rights groups are currently hunting an evil woman who was filmed stubbing out a cigarette on a puppy's eyes.

A video has emerged which shows the woman holding a lit cigarette in one hand while grabbing a black and white puppy by the neck with the other.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Singapore was alerted to the sadistic video showing the dog in pain after it emerged in the country.

In horrifying footage, the inhumane torturer begins calmly smoking outside a house before repeatedly crushing the burning cigarette on the puppy's eyes and face.

A barbaric woman filmed torturing an innocent dog has enraged several animal rights groups after a blood curdling four minute video of the incident emerged

The helpless puppy can be heard attempting to cry out in pain.

However, his yelps are stifled as he appears to have his mouth taped shut. Having finished burning the puppy, the woman then snaps its paws.

The vile footage continues for four minutes with the horrible woman repeatedly burning the dog's face.

Filmed in 2012, the video was created by Dorma and Vicente Ridon, a married couple who were found guilty of child abuse, animal welfare crimes, human trafficking, and wildlife-protection crimes in a Philippines court in 2014.

A regional court in the northern Philippines province of La Union were told the couple had forced girls to torture and kill puppies, rabbits, and other animals in 'fetish' videos.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Singapore said in a statement: 'There are indications that the incident may not have occurred in Singapore but we are exploring all possibilities and urgently appealing for credible information to seek justice for the puppy.

'If you know the identity and whereabouts of the woman, please provide the information to the relevant agency in your country.

'Alternatively, you can contact us and we will relay the message in strict confidence. Let us stand united against animal cruelty, wherever it may occur.'

But the case had actually already been tried in a Philippines court in September 2014 after being pursued by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in a year-long investigation.

At the time PETA said the verdict was a victory for Philippine law enforcement and anti-cruelty campaigners.

'The Ridons' sentences are a warning to anyone involved in the vile 'crush' video industry: there are grave consequences to harming animals,' PETA Asia vice president Jason Baker said.

Animal rights activist Carla Day, from Indonesia has started a petition appealing for social media platforms to trace the woman.

She said: 'The innocent black-and-white puppy has their mouth tied shut, completely helpless against the agonizing torture.

'This shocking incident cannot be ignored, or more animals will be tortured or killed.'
