Parents may take legal action after husky attack
The parents of a baby who was attacked by a husky on Lantau say they are considering taking legal action after authorities refused to declare it a dangerous dog. A spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said the injury was not severe enough for it to pass the case to the courts, since 15-month-old Emily Le Roux had not required hospital care.
The parents of a baby who was attacked by a husky on Lantau say they are considering taking legal action after authorities refused to declare it a dangerous dog.
A spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said the injury was not severe enough for it to pass the case to the courts, since 15-month-old Emily Le Roux had not required hospital care.
"We will follow the law," said the spokesman, adding that the dog would be classed as a known dangerous dog only if it "severely attacked or caused the death of a person without provocation".
The infant's mother, Sharon Le Roux, said the family was "mad with the system" and were considering taking legal action.
"I don't know how to just leave it there," Le Roux said.
" A baby can't be attacked and that be OK with society," the mother said.
