A 33-year-old woman died after being attacked by a large dog at an animal shelter in Ping Yeung Village, Ta Kwu Ling, Hong Kong. CCTV footage showed the woman, the licensed people-in-charge of the facility, feeding the dog and trying to lead it into a cage, but it attacked her instead. The attack lasted approximately a minute and left the woman with severe lacerations and bite marks.
An autopsy is being conducted to confirm the cause of death, and the dog will be examined by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. This tragic incident adds to a series of dog attacks reported this week, including one in Yuen Long that resulted in the deaths of two smaller dogs. In response to the latest attack, the dog owner has been arrested on suspicion of violating Hong Kong's Dangerous Dogs Regulation.
