Dog poisoner stalks upscale Hong Kong community as six pets die in space of three days

Police have stepped up patrols at a dog-friendly park in an affluent Hong Kong neighbourhood after 15 suspected cases of animal poisoning, in which six dogs died, were reported in the past week.

On Thursday, the management at Cyberport Waterfront Park, Pok Fu Lam, said it had installed additional security cameras and increased the number of guards, while police had also posted warning signs. Some angry dog owners have decided not to walk their pets in the park.
