The Mid-Levels dog poisoner is still on the loose after a decade of injuring pets
Barry Lea lovingly patted his dog Rosie and asked: just who would want to kill such a beautiful animal?
Mr Lea and his wife Helen are so concerned that the notorious Mid-Levels dog poisoner is still at large they have tipped an extra HK$50,000 into the reward to help catch the killer or killers.
'It's about time they were caught - it's been more than a decade, and so many animals have suffered,' Mr Lea said.
'There is just no reason for doing this to dogs. Rosie here is a trained search-and-rescue dog, why would you want to kill her? Two of those killed in March were also care dogs.'
The new reward of HK$100,000 is part of a drive by Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) that began yesterday to raise awareness about the Bowen Road poisoner.
SPCA workers distributed leaflets in Chinese and English, as well as Tagalog and Bahasa Indonesian because many of the dogs in the area are walked by helpers.
