A 22-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday after a video taken by his wife showed her choking his Alaskan Malamute at their Shatin home. In the video, the man can be seen using the lid of a cage trying to suffocate the Malamute, with the animal’s neck stuck between the cage and the lid. It is understood the video was first shared by the man’s wife on a WhatsApp chat group, with the couple asking for tips to “educate” their pet dog. The video then circulated online, with a concerned citizen eventually filing a report to the police of the suspected animal abuse. Further investigation found evidence of animal abuse, leading to the arrest of the man on suspicion of cruelty to animals.
