[Animal News]Animals do not know how to speak, and cruelty to animals is the most despicable act. A 28-year-old man surnamed Zhang in Tung Chung was suspected of having been bitten on the hand by his girlfriend’s Keji yesterday. He beat him with fists, slaps and elbows on the spot. The hostess didn’t stop him at all. In the end, a villager called the police. The man was arrested for cruelty to animals. The Animal Welfare Society said the case is being investigated by the police, and the Society’s veterinarians have examined the beaten Goki and will write a doctor’s report. According to media reports, a 76-second video shows the man attacking Goki at least 22 times. It is known that the man is suspected of being the first to abuse a dog.
The source said that the abused Geki was a 9-year-old paparazzi, and the owner of the dog was the girlfriend of the man involved. When the man was arrested by the police yesterday, he claimed to be out with his girlfriend, and he was bitten on the hand by him, so he “controlled” the dog with his hands.
“Hong Kong 01” reported that it received a video provided by the villagers. In the 76-second video, a man was seen riding Goji to prevent him from running away, and then frantically beat the dog and injured Goji at least 22 times with punches, slaps and criticism. Goki kept screaming. The woman by the side stood by and did nothing to stop the man’s atrocities. The report also quoted villagers saying that they had heard the man yell at the dog and the dog’s screams earlier. Although he had been persuaded to treat the dog well, the other party ignored it.
In response to the newspaper’s inquiries, the Association said that the case is being investigated by the police, and that the veterinarians of the Association have examined the dog and will write a doctor’s report. The police said that they received a report at 2:15 a.m. on May 27 that someone suspected of attacking dogs with their hands. After police arrived at the scene to investigate, they arrested a 28-year-old man surnamed Zhang on suspicion of cruelty to animals. The case was handed over to the Lantau Police District. The first team of the investigation team followed up.
According to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance, it is an offence for anyone to brutally beat, kick or treat animals cruelly and is liable to a maximum fine of $200,000 and imprisonment for three years.
