Q Should efforts be stepped up to catch the Mid-Levels dog poisoner?
As a pet owner I am once again disgusted, and have a renewed vigilance in watching that my dog does not consume poison, as well as keeping my eye out for the fool carrying out this crime.
When I read about this, again and again, it makes me think of why or what someone hates so much in our beloved pets. I would guess there are many people who do not understand the love between a dog and a human. However, I do believe that everyone dislikes stepping in someone else's mess. Words of wisdom to my fellow dog owners: clean up after your dog and maybe the dog slayer will cease his cruel punishment.

I am appalled by the recurring incidents of dog poisoning. I wrote to your newspaper back in November when my friend's dog was poisoned near his home in Tsing Yi during a morning walk. The poor miniature schnauzer could not be saved.
Despite our efforts to alert the police and get witnesses to testify, nothing has since been done to bring the guilty to justice. I, along with the owner and several neighbours, tried in vain to contact various government bodies but nobody was interested.
