Q What do you think of the city's water quality?
Tap water in Hong Kong is not that clean. I use a water filter at home for drinking water, and unfiltered water is used only for cooking and brushing our teeth. If I turn off the filtering system and taste the water, it has a bit of soil taste in it. The difference between unfiltered and filter water is very noticeable.

Q How can animal welfare be improved?
It is terrible to hear the news that a dog had its legs chopped off and was dumped in a rubbish tip. How can the owner of Pan Pan do such things? According to Peter Yim, the chief executive of Love Pet Action, pet owners may dump pets amid the spread of H5N1.
Despite the fact that the owners are afraid of getting the deadly disease, their pets should not be dumped. Animals, especially pets, are friends of humans. How can those cruel owners dump their friends in the rubbish bin? These days, people are becoming selfish. They only care about themselves. In my view, the government should increase the penalty for pet owners who dump their pets. I hope the government will take action, and pet owners will treasure their pets instead of hurting or abandoning them.
