Backlash grows after Hong Kong authorities seize second ‘fighting dog’ in week

Hong Kong authorities have faced increasing criticism after seizing a second 'fighting dog' within a week, this time from an eight-year-old named Baku. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department confiscated Baku following a neighbor's complaint, citing concerns over canine management after several incidents involving aggressive dogs, including a fatal attack on a woman and the deaths of two pets. The department has intensified inspections and prosecuted three owners for improperly restraining large dogs. Baku's owner, Mr. Lai, expressed worry about the assessment process, noting that officials did not clarify the specific tests involved.
