Animal welfare has been a growing concern in recent years. With reference to the relevant legislation and experience of overseas places and having taken into account views of animal welfare organisations, the general public and Legislative Council members, the Government, through amending the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance (Cap. 169), proposes to extend the existing legislation which prohibits and penalises acts of cruelty to animals to include introducing a positive “duty of care” on animal keepers, enhancing the provisions for prevention of cruelty and enhancing enforcement powers of the public officers for safeguarding animal welfare.
The Government is undertaking public consultation on the proposals.
Come and join the HKU Interdisciplinary Quick Talks - our researchers will share with you their research and project in relation to animals and the importance of animal welfare to their project, and discuss new ideas for interdisciplinary research and KE and how animal welfare could enhance their work.
