Chinese markets are still selling bats and slaughtering rabbits on blood-soaked floors as Beijing celebrates 'victory' over the coronavirus
"As the pandemic that began in Wuhan forced countries worldwide to go into lockdown ...thousands of customers flocked to a sprawling indoor market in Guilin, south-west China. Here cages of different species were piled on top of each other.
In another meat market in Dongguan, southern China...a medicine seller returning to business with a billboard advertising bats – thought to be the cause of the initial Wuhan outbreak – along with scorpions and other creatures.
The shocking scenes came as China finally lifted a weekslong nationwide lockdown and encouraged people to go back to normal daily life to boost the flagging economy. Official statistics indicated there were virtually no new infections.

International attention on legal cat fur market in China
“Cat fur trade” in China has been drawn global attention, which gradually becomes a hot issue of animal protection. China was revealed last year that cat meat and cat fur were sold in local markets. So far, China still has no law against animal cruelty. In China, most of the stray cats have not been neutered. Therefore, its reproduction rate is high, and people catch them to make various commodities.
Cat skin can be used in different products such as shoes, gloves, wallets and jackets, so the cats have been traded. Such action is legal in China, which is the most shocking. The “Lychee and Dog Meat Festival” is infamous internationally. According to a survey, only 13% of Yulin residents in China have never eaten dog meat. Such behaviours in China has drawn international attention in recent years and called for a cessation.

Full-page Ad Calls Secretary for Justice to Respect #AnimalLives As Authorities Set Abusers of 29 Animals Free
A secondary school teacher in Hong Kong and his partner surrendered themselves in February 2020 for hurling 29 animals off a high-rise tower, including chinchillas, guinea pig, cats, rabbits, parrot and rodent.
All animals, scattered on the ground and in a ditch next to the building, were either dead or severely injured.
But after a six-month investigation, HK police said the Justice Department would not bring the abusers to trial owing to "insufficient evidence to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of conviction".

A front-page advertisement was crowdfunded by a animal rights concern group "1380" and published on Apple Daily. The advertisement took form of an open message to the Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng:
"Animals cannot speak for themselves and are totally helpless when subject to abuse. We should protect them for justice to be done."
Pro-democracy legislator Claudia Mo, also wrote an open letter to Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng earlier, demanding an explanation for why the case was dropped: “This move is no different than sending society a message that the government looks down on animal lives and easily allows animal abusers walk free.”

#JudicialReview Denied After HK's Secretary of Justice Decides to Not Prosecute Arrestees in #AnimalAbuse Case
In Hong Kong in February 2020, two people were arrested in an alleged animal abuse case in Sum Tseng HongKong Garden, after 30 injured and dead animals were found in a nearby hillside of the housing estate.
However, the Secretary of Justice in Hong Kong has decided that nobody is to be prosecuted in this case.
A citizen who adopted an injured cat in the case applied for a judicial review at the High Court.
On June 30, 2021, Judge Lee Won-tung announced that the judicial review was denied. Lee emphasized that the Secretary of Justice is "not obligated" to explain her decision within a certain amount of time. Even if the applicant wins the judicial review, the court claimed that nobody can be prosecuted due to the "statute of limitations".

Hong Kong Govenment Order to "Catch and Kill" Wild Boars, Sparking Outcry from Citizens and Animal Rights Groups
On November 9, 2021, an auxiliary police officer in Hong Kong was said being bitten by a wild pig in North Point. The boar was later found fell to its death from a 10-meter high ground.
On November 12, 2021, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (#AFCD) immediately announced a "catch-and-kill" policy to euthanise wild boars that enter urban areas.
Eight animal rights group quickly launched a signature campaign titled "Wild boars are innocent. Do Not vent your hatred and anger at animals," urging the authorities to scrap the "catch-and-kill" policy.
One of the concern groups issued an open to Sophia Chan Siu-chee, Secretary for Food and Health and Leung Siu-fai, Director of AFCD.
In the letter, the group pointed out that boars are wild animals indigenous to Hong Kong. "They are living creatures with conscious and thoughts and should be respected."
The group criticized the authorities for disregarding the wild boars' rights to live in urban areas, calling the "catch-and-kill" policy utterly unreasonable.
In less then one day, the campaign received more than 30,000 signatures.

Hong Kong wild boars lured to their deaths after police attack
//Hong Kong has begun culling wild boars following an attack on a police officer, with seven animals killed after they were lured onto the street by wildlife officials, sparking anger from conservationists on Thursday.
In front of local media crews, officials closed off a road in the district of Aberdeen and scattered breadcrumbs on the ground.
A group of boars soon appeared and were shot with tranquilizer darts before being dispatched with lethal injections.
Roni Wong of the Hong Kong Wild Boar Concern Group tried to break through the police cordon but was stopped.
"We agree with the government on one thing, that people should not feed wild animals," Wong said. "But we should not put liability on the animals."
Hong Kong's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said it "severely opposed" the #AFCD operation and "any lethal measure to manage" the city's boar population.
More than 70,000 people have signed an online petition by 13 animal rights groups urging the authorities to withdraw the new kill policy.//

HK Authorities' mass cull order rips a hamster-loving child's heart into pieces
In the video, a young boy in Hong Kong is seen howling continuesly while bidding farewell to his beloved #hamster in order to comply with the Hong Kong government's mass cull order.
Sitting on a stairway in front of the hamster's home cage, the young boy took pictures of his hamster, named "Pudding". In desperation, he wailed and questioned why he has to send Pudding away for culling.
Parents of the young boy bought the hamster for him for his birthday present recently on January 8, 2022. In an attempt to comfort their son, the parents agreed to buy another hamster once the pandemic ceased. The boy, however, refused to replace Pudding with a new one, saying that even small animals are unique and they have lives too.
The Hong Kong government ordered on January 18, 2022 that 2,000 hamsters from dozens of pet shops and storage facilities to be culled after tracing a coronavirus outbreak to a worker in the Little Boss petshop, where 11 hamsters subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.
Although scientists around the world and Hong Kong veterinary authorities have said there was no evidence that animals play a major role in human contagion with the coronavirus, Hong Kong government insisted that their hands are forced to make quick decision to safeguard the "zero covid" objective.
The authorities' mass cull order brought anguish from families and criticism from animal protection agencies, including the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (#SPCA).
“The SPCA is shocked and concerned over the recent government announcement on the handling of over 2,000 small animals, which did not take animal welfare and the human-animal bond into consideration,” the SPCA of Hong Kong said in a Facebook post. “We urge pet owners not to panic or abandon their pets.”
Over 23,000 Hongkongers have signed a petition asking the government to stop the cull and quarantine the small animals instead.
