Hong Kong weighs euthanizing dog after fatal pet attacks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The dog is currently under observation, and officials are considering options such as humane euthanasia if the owner surrenders the animal, or seeking a court order to declare it a "known dangerous dog." The latter would impose stricter controls, including mandatory muzzling in public. An assessment by government veterinarians would also be required for any potential new owner. AI
