Last update date: 2020-08-27 14:08Dead animals appeared on the beach for two consecutive days! At 7:40 am today (27th), a member of the public was passing by Tai Wan To Beach on Lamma Island and found two plastic cages with straps on the beach. He saw 12 cats and dogs in the cages and immediately called the police. It can be seen at the scene that the two plastic cages are about 100 meters apart, and each cage contains six cat and dog corpses. They have been severely decomposed and have a foul smell. The corpses were seized by the staff of the Association. The case is temporarily listed as cruel treatment of animals, and is handed over to Team 1 of the Cheung Chau Divisional Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up.
In addition, yesterday (26th) on the rocky beach off Wong Ma Kok Drive, Stanley, a public found a grey pet cage with 3 dog corpses hidden. Earlier, the customs intercepted a smuggling speedboat and seized 12 dogs. It is suspected that Hong Kong residents living in the Mainland "smuggled" their pet dogs north to reunite. As for this incident, it cannot be ruled out that smugglers threw the dogs into the sea in a cage in order to avoid law enforcement officers, causing a tragedy.
Earlier, the police and customs took anti-smuggling operations and found two speedboats heading to Mui Wo Pier. The officers then chased and stopped the speedboat. Twelve dogs were seized on the speedboat. They were trapped in 4 pet cages. The breeds included poodles, angels, Joseph Terry and squirrel dogs. All dogs were implanted with chips, and no one was keeping them.
The Customs earlier stated that all the rescued dogs were registered with chips and were kept by humans. It was initially believed that Hong Kong people returned to live in the Mainland under the new crown pneumonia epidemic. In order to avoid the risk of 14-day compulsory quarantine, they were smuggled and consigned by Hong Kong. Only to reunite in the mainland. As for the beach animal carcasses incidents today and yesterday, it is not ruled out that criminals in the smuggling process, in order to avoid law enforcement officers, threw the dogs into the sea, causing tragedy.
