Animal lovers protest over brutal pet attacks in Hong Kong

Around 500 peoples in Hongkong holding up banners and giant cardboard cut-out cats and dogs took part in the demonstration Sunday sparked by a case involving a kitten found dumped with its rear legs hacked off. They said that police do not take seriously enough about the latest in a series of apparently random attacks on stray cats and dogs in Hongkong. They also said that after report cases of animal abuse to police, which they say are running at a rate of around 10 a month, officers tell them they do not have the resources to help them. In April 2007 , a school chef was jailed for 21 days for killing a 10-day-old kitten by throwing it repeatedly to the ground. Hongkong goverment increased the penalty for acts of animal cruelty from a maximum jail term of six months and a 600-US-dollar fine to three years in prison and a 25,600-US-dollar fine.
