Police probe further animal abuse in Tsing Lung Tau

Police were called to Tsing Lung Tau near Sham Tseng for the second day in a row on Saturday to deal with suspected animal cruelty, after three cats were found down a manhole.



On Friday, the dead bodies of several animals, including some cats, were discovered in the same area.



A security guard called the police at around noon on Saturday after finding the three injured cats in a manhole at the private residential estate, Hong Kong Garden.



The cats were taken by staff from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for further checks.



Police believed the incident could be linked to the suspected animal abuse the previous day.



Officers suspect the dead animals had been thrown from one of the residential blocks.
