［2023年4月3日］
一名勞工處勞工督察，被女友發現於去年7月21日至8月8日期間，殘酷對待家中兩頭犬隻，今日於東區裁判法院被判殘酷對待動物罪成，判處監禁3星期。
案情指30歲被告羅家健，於2022年5月認識涉案狗隻女主人，並發展為情侶。女方為方便男朋友照顧狗隻，曾配備後備鎖匙預男友。其後至8月女方發現其中一犬隻異常地向男友吠叫，女友翻查家中閉路電視，發現男友曾多次向犬隻施暴，包括踩頭、踢頭、甚至以櫈腳攻擊犬隻頭部。女友最後與男友分手並報警揭發案件。
被告及後承認因妒忌女友對待狗隻比對自己更好，妒忌心驅使犯案。辯方求情指被告無案底，報告正面，狗隻亦無受嚴重傷害；裁判官指被告持續對犬隻造成傷害，攻擊力度有時頗大，更有使用武器，並且重複犯案，最終判處被告即時監禁。
Labor Officer Sentenced for Cruelty to Dogs
A 30-year-old labour officer, Law Ka-kin, was sentenced to three weeks in prison today for abusing his girlfriend's two dogs last year. According to court documents, Law Ka-kin viciously beat and abused the dogs on multiple occasions between July 21 and August 8, causing them physical harm.
Law Ka-kin met the dogs' owner, his girlfriend, in May 2022. To make it easier for him to care for the dogs when she was not home, she gave him extra keys to access the house. But in August, she noticed that one of the dogs was barking at Law Ka-kin frequently and acting strangely. After reviewing the home's security footage, she saw Law Ka-kin stomping on the dogs' heads, kicking them, and even hitting them with a stool.
Horrified by the abuse, she broke up with Law Ka-kin and reported him to the police. Law Ka-kin admitted in court that he was jealous of the attention and care his girlfriend gave to the dogs, and took out his anger and jealousy on the helpless animals.
Though Law Ka-kin's defence argued that he had no criminal record, a positive report, and the dogs were not seriously injured, the judge said the abuse was repeated, forceful, and in some cases used weapons. The judge rejected the plea for leniency, sentencing Law Ka-kin to three weeks in prison for the repeated cruelty.
The case shocked the community and highlighted the need to prevent the abuse of defenceless animals. Law Ka-kin will begin serving his sentence immediately.
