Story summary

Hong Kong authorities have increased efforts to find stray dogs following the fatal attack of a 27-year-old woman on Pok Wai South Road in Yuen Long. The incident occurred over the weekend when she was reportedly mauled by three dogs while cycling, resulting in severe lacerations and death. To enhance public safety, new CCTV cameras have been installed in Yuen Long to monitor a wider area beyond just the road where the attack happened.

Dr Jackie Yip Yin, assistant director of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD), emphasized on a radio show that tracking down unattended dogs is challenging due to the "relatively large area" involved. The department aims to completely remove safety risks in the neighborhood by expanding their search radius for stray canines.
