Policy Address

Pets and Stray Cats and Dogs

132.     There are many dog lovers among us.  To cater for their needs, the LCSD plans to make available more venues which allow them to bring in their dogs.  It will also identify suitable sites for new pet parks.  We will consult local residents and the District Councils beforehand.

133.     Recently, there has been criticism of the Government's policy on stray cats and dogs.  We should tackle the problem of stray cats and dogs at source.  We will enhance public education and publicity.  In parallel, we will co-operate with animal welfare groups to enhance adoption services for stray cats and dogs and provide free neutering for adopted ones.  We will explore other feasible measures acceptable to the public.
