On the morning of September 12 at 10:07, the police received a report about a dead cat found at Sheung Yam Garden Rest Park in Tsung Ye Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered a pink reusable shopping bag on the ground, which contained a flower-patterned cat wrapped in a plastic bag. Local sources indicated that the deceased was an adult cat with no obvious injuries. The police are not ruling out the possibility that the cat died from old age or illness and was discarded in the park. The case has since been handed over to the Animal Rescue Society to determine the cause of death.
At the scene, there was no evidence of any foul play, and the immediate concern was the welfare of other cats in the area. Given the high number of stray cats in Hong Kong, the incident has sparked discussions about the proper care and disposal of deceased animals to prevent further distress to pets and park visitors. The Animal Rescue Society is working closely with park management to ensure that any future incidents are handled sensitively and responsibly.
