貓殺手入侵深井三流浪貓遭毒殺

深井區三隻流浪貓被人發現倒斃於廣場對開路邊，懷疑遭毒殺。有貓義工擔心殺貓歪風吹入區內，繼續有可憐貓咪遇害。該區區議員表示，首次接獲流浪貓離奇死亡個案，現正着手調查事件。
口吐白沫倒卧路邊 上周三(二日)凌晨六時許，有街坊發現兩隻成年貓和一隻幼貓奄奄一息，倒卧深井陳記廣場對開路邊位置，口吐白沫，更有失禁迹象，懷疑中毒，在場街坊憂心不已，卻愛莫能助，三隻貓咪最終失救死亡。在附近進行清潔的工人見狀，將貓咪屍體棄置垃圾箱處理。
對於三隻流浪貓無故死亡，區內愛貓人士、居民兼貓義工羅先生認為，該三隻貓相信並非自然死亡，擔心貓殺手已入侵區內，並會繼續犯案，於是立即聯絡荃灣郊區東區議員陳偉明跟進事件。
區議員正調查事件
陳偉明表示，首次接獲區內流浪貓懷疑被人毒死個案，現正派員向廣場職員和街坊了解事件。他又透露，不時接獲區內居民投訴流浪貓滋擾民居，惟仍需時進行觀察調查。
貓義工羅先生指出，區內的海韻花園和陳記廣場，都參加了愛護動物協會的動物絕育計畫，並與香港貓咪俱樂部合作，為流浪貓絕育，義工會定期餵飼流浪貓，希望減低流浪貓數目之餘，亦能令居民對流浪貓「具攻擊性、愛到處翻垃圾」的印象改觀。
他希望事件純屬虛驚一場：「大家知道有貓懷疑被毒死，心中也不好過，無論如何，大家都不應將不滿發泄在牠們身上。」記者李凱琳

Animal Cruelty – Kwai Chung

Dear All,

We found a cat whose leg was seriously broken by a person in Kwai Chung. Residents have told us that there are many cats tortured and abused by Parkistans (this is how the residents described the people doing these terrible crimes).

The cat, now named Mimi, is being treated by Pet n Vet in Kowloon Shing. The surgery requires a few thousands and unfortunately we do not have all the funds. If Mimi does not have this surgery, he may not be able to walk again.

小野貓疑遭印巴漢打斷腳

(星島)2009年6月19日 星期五 05:30

(綜合報道)

(星島日報 報道)瘦弱的流浪小貓「咪咪」，在葵涌 疑被印巴漢殘酷虐待，貓腳遭活生生打斷，膝蓋與大腿幾乎分離，常駐該區的貓義工及時發現，將牠送動物醫院治理；貓義工怒斥施虐者惡行外，更認為政府必須加強宣傳動物權益，避免助長虐畜歪風。

將「咪咪」送往獸醫救治的香港貓咪俱樂部幹事黃小姐稱，貓義工早前在葵涌區巡視，發現一隻寄居於區內跌打鋪的雄性流浪貓「咪咪」，遭人打傷致腳斷骨裂，義工追問跌打鋪老闆周先生，方知「咪咪」上周出外玩耍，曾失蹤兩天，回來時腳部重創。由於周先生屬小本經營不能承擔巨額手術費，只能以跌打技術來替小貓治療，但義工見「咪咪」傷勢危急，決定將牠送往動物醫院。

咪咪」手術費需數千元

黃小姐稱，「咪咪」愛到附近工廠區流連，該處有不少印巴人士工作，懷疑虐貓事件與他們有關，「曾經有街坊目睹印巴漢追打流浪貓，直至皮開肉裂，甚至只剩頭顱的貓屍，非常可怕。」她怒斥施虐者毫無人性，正考慮尋求警方和有關機構援助。

她透露，醫治「咪咪」的手術費需要數千元，但貓兒危在旦夕，故決定先救貓，至今仍要為手術費用而煩惱；黃又表示，其組織為流浪貓免費絕育和提供治療，單靠善心人士的捐款運作，因收入不穩如今已出現赤字。

根據現行法例，虐待動物可判罰款五千元及監禁六個月，遠低於歐美國 家。

以英國

為例，至今已頒布二十多條關於動物福利的法例和條文，包括不可將動物當作禮物，送給十六歲以下兒童，及加重對遺棄動物和宰殺的刑罰。

Animal Cruelty – Tuen Mun

Dear All,

A cat, Fafa was almost killed by a very nasty, cold blooded person in Tuen Mun last week.  The person spread strong acid on Fafa and her kitten and almost 60% of Fafa’s skin is seriously burnt.

We sent Fafa to Victorian Vet Clinic in Tuen Mun for treatment and the vet has taken off all her dead skin.  She is getting better and is staying at a pet shop to recover.  Her kitten is being fostered by Mrs Leung and thankfully Fafa’s kitten only had one of her front legs slightly burnt.

We really need help in rehoming Fafa and her kitten, as well as help with the vet bill, which is over 3,000HDK.

If you can help, please contact Mrs So at 6379 9920 or Mrs Leung at 9282 4482.

冷血殺手鏹水淋貓

本報訊】屯門驚現淋鏹水貓殺手！一頭流浪母貓與其兩頭小貓，慘遭狂徒淋鏹水嚴重灼傷，其中一頭死亡，有老婦可憐兩貓遍體鱗傷，籌借醫藥費將牠們救回。事件引起愛貓網民憤慨，直斥兇徒「人渣」，且懸紅緝兇，他們並稱已向警方報案。

近日有網民在討論區發表多幅貓隻受傷照片，據網上資料，受傷的是母貓，在兆康苑對開麒麟圍流浪生活，早前誕下兩頭小貓，三口日前被發現身上遍布水泡及嚴重脫毛，其中一小貓已死亡，母貓及另一小貓奄奄一息，村內一名婆婆於心不忍，雖然經濟拮据，不惜向親友籌借醫藥費，把牠們送往寵物診所救治。

獸醫證實兩貓疑被淋通渠水，治療後檢回一命，母貓寄住寵物店，小貓由義工照顧。網上資料稱狂徒疑是村內一對五十餘歲夫婦，相信趁母貓餵奶時下毒手。

10,000 Dogs Killed a Year

Government admits killing 10,000 dogs a year as pet trade comes under the spotlight
——————————————————————————–

Martin Wong
Updated on Jun 10, 2009

About 10,000 dogs and 4,000 cats are put down each year by the government, it was revealed yesterday as lawmakers discussed a proposal to regulate the pet trade. During a food safety and environmental hygiene panel meeting in the Legislative Council, undersecretary for food and health Gabriel Leung said the government hoped to tighten control of the sources of dogs offered for sale, for public health and animal welfare reasons.

Legislative Councillor Cyd Ho Sau-lan asked how many animals were destroyed by the government, adding that it would be odd to put animals down but do nothing to control breeding.
