We are sad to report the death of a ‘local’ dog, Mochi. Following a walk in and around the waterfront park the dog had seizures and started to vomit. Mochi passed away later in the evening, 24 January 2021. As the signs are consistent with poisoning, an investigation by the Police is in progress with autopsy and laboratory tests. The same team also investigated suspected poisoning in July 2020. The management of Cyberport confirmed they did not apply any pesticides and disinfectants nor did they lay rat poison in the area around Cyberport 4. We inspected the site with the Police. SPCA has put up notices reminding dog walkers.
For all dog handlers, please be aware of the risk of suspicious food items especially when you walk your dogs unleashed. If you do spot suspicious items, please take a picture, remove the item to avoid animals getting hurt, and advise our office (info@paulzimmerman.hk). If your dog shows does signs of poisoning (link), please visit the vet immediately and inform the Police via 999.
And to those who leave food for strays, you do more harm than good. Don’t leave food around for animals.
剛過去的星期日早上（2021年1月24日），狗隻Mochi於數碼港海濱公園放狗回家後出現抽搐及嘔吐，同日晚上不幸去世。警察現已就狗隻懷疑中毒事件展開調查，負責的重案組為調查上年7月區內狗隻懷疑中毒案的同一隊。死因需要等待驗屍報告及其他樣本的化驗報告才可確認。數碼港的管理公司表示沒有於數碼港4座附近範圍使用老鼠藥、殺蟲藥或消毒液體等等。我們與警方進行了實地考察，而愛護動物協會亦張貼了告示。
請各位放狗人士注意地上是否有可疑食物，特別是不使用狗繩時。如目睹可疑食物，請移除食物以免其他狗隻進食，並將食物相片電郵到info@paulzimmerman.hk。如狗隻出現懷疑中毒徵狀（連結），請馬上到獸醫求診及致電999。
我再次呼籲大家不要留低食物餵飼流浪貓狗。
