From February to May 2026, incidents of suspected poisoning and disappearance of dogs occurred continuously in the Lok Ma Chau area of ​​Hong Kong. "Hong Kong 01" reported that at least 9 dogs were poisoned and 17 were missing. The police classified the case as an investigation of "cruel treatment of animals" and no one has been arrested yet. Dog owners and volunteers continue to pursue clues near fish ponds, grassy areas and village roads.

Deaths that kept coming for months

The "Hong Kong 01" investigative report shows that from February to May 2026, dogs continued to die and go missing in the Lok Ma Chau area of ​​Hong Kong. The summary of the report stated that at least 9 dogs were poisoned and 17 were missing. The police classified the case as "cruel treatment of animals". As of the time of the report, no one had been arrested.

There is no abstract case behind these numbers. The dog owners, fish pond managers and volunteers who appeared in the report all described the same thing: dogs that originally lived near fish ponds, village roads and grass, suddenly died or disappeared one after another. Some people saw the dog fall in front of their eyes, some looked for the body along the waterside and in the grass, and some continued to call the police and pursue the investigation after discovering a suspected pesticide bottle.

Dog owners and volunteers track down

Hong Kong 01 reported that dog owners and volunteers returned to the scene of the incident to find out why these dogs died together in a short period of time. The title of the report mentioned that "dogs died suddenly in front of their eyes", which shows that at least some of the deaths were not discovered after the fact, but occurred in front of the caregivers.

Judging from the pictures accompanying the report, the scene included fish ponds, waterside, grass, village roads and near fences. Volunteers found the dog carcasses and also photographed traces of suspected pesticide bottles, powder and related locations. When recording these clues, this website uses expressions such as "suspected", "reports indicate" and "volunteer discovery", etc., and does not write a conclusion on the source of the poison that has not yet been finally announced by the police.

Police classified it as cruelty to animals

This incident is different from ordinary lost dogs. The Hong Kong 01 report clearly stated that the police classified the case as an investigation of "cruel treatment of animals". This classification itself shows that the police do not regard the incident simply as a natural death or an ordinary disappearance, but handle it as a possible injury to an animal.

At the same time, the public information also stated that "no one has been arrested yet." Therefore, official records cannot identify specific perpetrators, nor can they attribute all deaths to the same person. What can be confirmed is that there have been many deaths and disappearances of dogs in the Lok Ma Chau area within a few months; media reports indicate that at least 9 dogs have died and 17 have gone missing; the police have investigated the case for cruelty to animals.

Not just for animals, but for community safety

The scariest thing about suspected poisoning cases is that the poison cannot identify the target. It may harm the dog first, or it may be touched by other animals, children, or people passing by. In the Lok Ma Chau incident, fish ponds, watersides and grassy areas were all open or semi-open environments. Once someone released toxic substances in these places, the risk would not stop with the dogs.

That's why dog ​​owners and volunteers insist on tracking them down. To them, this is not a trivial matter of "a few dead dogs", but someone may have placed poison in the shadows of the community and let lives fall in pain. This case was recorded to preserve the names and images of the victim dogs, and to record the public’s pursuit of the truth and safety.
