Lantau cattle killingsi

Eight ferral cattle were killed in what was believed to be a hit-and-run traffic accident on Lantau on June 5, 2013. A female driver was arrested soon afterwards. The deaths of the cattle sparked a bitter debate in Hong Kong over the protection of wild cows and road safety in rural areas where they roam.

A woman whose car was suspected to have been linked to the deaths of eight feral cows on Lantau last year has been fined HK$5,000 for failing to give information to police.

A pilot who found a group of feral cows dead on a Lantau road told a court yesterday that it would have taken a truck or a tank to have caused them such injuries.

Bumps, ramps and special traffic-slowing road surfaces are among measures being considered by police to curb speeding on Lantau following the death of eight cows in a hit-and-run accident last week.
