A 52-year-old man, Ng Sui-ting, was released on bail on Thursday after his dog allegedly killed two small dogs in Yuen Long, Hong Kong. The Tuen Mun Magistrates Court heard that the large dog attacked a poodle and a bichon frise near YOHO Mall on Monday, causing the death of both small canines. The court also learned that the same dog had attacked another dog on July 10th, resulting in injury.
Ng is accused of allowing his dog to roam YOHO Mall and its outdoor plaza without being leashed, an act he did not contest in court. He was granted bail for 3,000 dollars, with conditions that prevent him from leaving Hong Kong or contacting prosecution witnesses. The case will be heard again on October 29th. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department is contemplating additional charges under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance.
The dog is currently under observation at the department's animal management center. Ng has consented to surrender custody of the dog, and the department plans to conduct a temperament assessment to determine the appropriate course of action.
