AFCD catch 3 dogs at Pok Wai South Road in Yuen Long

Following a fatal dog attack in Yuen Long,

the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department

captures three canines near the scene overnight.

It remains unconfirmed if the dogs are involved in the case.

Some residents say stray dogs there have bitten people in the past.

Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan says

the government will review stray dog management measures.

A group of AFCD personnel,

armed with tranquiliser guns and other equipment,

arrive at Pok Wai South Road in Yuen Long overnight

to search for the dogs suspected to be involved in the fatal attack.

Police officers holding long shields assist in the operation.

About two hours later,

the department says three adult mongrels have been caught.

Authorities recover CCTV footage showing, a 27-year-old woman cycling along Pok Wai South Road near Nam Sang Wai in Yuen Long attacked by three dogs.

Initial reports have shown the deceased suffered lethal head and neck wounds, as well as severe bites on all four limbs.

Family members arrive at the mortuary in the morning to identify the body.

Numerous pawprints are found along the road.

Plastic bowls with water and dog food are seen nearby,

suggesting the dogs are being fed.

Some residents point out that dogs often roam the area

and display aggressive behavior.

A man says that friends and neighbours have been bitten previously.

They add while the dogs may not always target humans,

they bully small animals and recently chased and killed a cat.

Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan

expresses deep condolences to the victim's family,

Tse says the bureau manages stray dogs through

a "trap-neuter-return" policy,

handling an average of over 400 dogs annually.

Tse explains if a dog is in poor health or deemed dangerous,

it is euthanised for public safety.

Secretary for Security Chris Tang says the government will review

whether installation of more CCTV is necessary.

Tang also adds while security cameras can see criminals,

they do not stop dogs from attacking people.
