The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) said on Tuesday it’s going to charge a shop in Yau Ma Tei suspected of selling cat meat.
The meat was seized from the shop last Thursday. The AFCD said test results show it contained the DNA of cats.
The department said it’s carrying out a thorough investigation and collecting more evidence before lodging a formal charge.
It said it would strengthen monitoring, inspection and enforcement to stop such offences.
In a statement, the AFCD noted that the Dogs and Cats Regulations prohibit the slaughter and sale of any dog or cat for use as food or otherwise. It added that offenders face a maximum fine of HK$5,000 and six months' imprisonment.
