A 22-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday after a video taken and shared by his wife showed him choking his Alaskan Malamute at their home.
In the video, the man can be seen using the lid of a cage trying to suffocate the Malamute, with the animal’s neck stuck between the cage and the lid.
It is reported that the video was first shared by the man’s wife on a WhatsApp chat group, with the couple asking for tips to “educate” their pet dog.
The video then circulated online, with a concerned citizen eventually filing a report to the police of the suspected animal abuse.
Police first responded to the scene - a residential unit at HK's Ngau Pei Sha New Village in Shatin, and listed the case as a dispute. Further investigation found evidence of animal abuse, leading to the arrest of the man on suspicion of cruelty to animals.
Two Malamutes - a female aged seven months and a male aged 1.5 years old - were taken in by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals temporarily for check-ups. Initial checking found no superficial injuries on the dogs.
