POLICE NOTICE.
DOGS
Owners of dogs are hereby notified that dogs found by Police abroad in the public thoroughfare unmuzzled, will, unless the owner is immediately available, be sent to the Government Kennels at Kennedy Town and Ma Tau Kok.
2. Unless a dog has to be detained for observation, when special notification is made to the owner by the Government Veterinary Surgeon, as far as possible owners will be traced by the Police and informed that this step has been taken, so that they may collect their dogs promptly from the Kennels. Failing such recovery within five days the dogs will be destroyed.
3.
Severely injured or diseased dogs may be destroyed forthwith.
4. Owners are strongly advised to ensure that their dogs wear the licence number badge and any other marks of identification continuously, as proof of licensing, and to facilitate tracing.
