［2023年5月23日］
一名操客家話的59歲婦人涉於今年3月，在石硤尾白田邨白田邨大廈走廊，手持利器及貓屍徘徊，警方接報到場將她拘捕。被告周二（23日）在西九龍裁判法院承認一項「屠宰狗隻或貓隻作食物」罪。
案情指，於2023年3月1日，有人目堵被告在白田邨手持貓隻屍體及刀，警方接報到場，在被告單位廁所內發現藏有貓隻屍體的膠桶，刀架在貓隻頸旁，當時貓屍已僵硬，口有血、大部分毛髮被脫去。
辯方求情指，被告聲稱在街上見到貓隻被車撞死，被告在內地農村出身，教育程度低，以為食用已死去的貓在港不受規管，於是拾回家打算食用。裁判官對其說法有保留，香港的文明社會不容許屠宰貓隻，因此法庭會嚴肅對待，亦有責任向公眾傳遞有關訊息。被告終被判囚6周，認罪後減至4周，緩刑兩年。
A 59-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to one count of "slaughtering dogs or cats for food" at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court in Hong Kong. The charges stem from an incident in March of this year when the woman was arrested in the corridor of Pak Tin House, Pak Tin Estate, Shek Kip Mei. At the time of her arrest, she was found holding a sharp object and a dead cat while wandering around.
During the investigation, the police found a plastic bucket in the woman's toilet, which contained the dead cat with a knife placed next to its neck. The cat's body was stiff, with blood in its mouth, and most of its fur had been removed. The defendant claimed that she found the cat on the street after it had been hit by a car and took it home with the intention of eating it. However, the judge expressed scepticism about her explanation, stating that Hong Kong is a civilized society that does not tolerate the slaughter of cats.
The defendant has been sentenced to six weeks in prison, which was reduced to four weeks after pleading guilty. She has also been placed on probation for two years.
