Hong Kong intensifica las inspecciones aleatorias de licencias para perros

Las autoridades de Hong Kong han anunciado planes para realizar operaciones de control periódicas y revisiones aleatorias de perros en lugares públicos con el fin de garantizar el cumplimiento de la normativa de licencias.

El Departamento de Agricultura, Pesca y Conservación (AFCD, por sus siglas en inglés) informó que los agentes comenzarán estas operaciones el lunes en espacios públicos donde se reúnan perros. Durante las inspecciones, los funcionarios llevarán a cabo controles aleatorios a los animales y utilizarán escáneres para verificar si tienen implantado un microchip y si cuentan con una licencia válida.

Si se descubre que un perro no posee una licencia válida, el AFCD iniciará acciones legales contra su dueño sin previo aviso. Según el Reglamento sobre la Rabia de Hong Kong, todos los perros mayores de cinco meses deben estar vacunados contra esta enfermedad viral y contar con su correspondiente licencia.

Las licencias suelen tener una validez de tres años. Los infractores se enfrentan a una multa máxima de 10.000 dólares de Hong Kong tras ser declarados culpables.

Authorities noted that illegal operators are converting vehicles into mobile refuelling points, heightening public safety risks.
