HK$100,000 reward offered over Cyberport dog poisoning cases

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals today posted on their social media that a dog lover has offered up to HK$100,000 reward for information on the recent dog poisoning cases in Cyberport.

The news came as a 47-year-old woman filed a report with the police yesterday that her dog died at home shortly after a walk to the Cyberport Waterfront Park, suspected of swallowing poison bait that has been placed in the park intentionally.

The Facebook page of Hong Kong Dog Rescue also shared a photo showing the suspected poison bait, with poisonous substances being stuffed inside a slice of luncheon meat.

The society strongly condemns such malicious acts, reminding members of the public that cruelty to animals carries a maximum sentence of three years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to HK$200,000.

Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is urged to contact the society’s 24-hour hotline on 27111000.
