【主動調查行動報告】近年香港接連發生多宗令人痛心嘅殘虐動物事件😿🐾,部分動物更被虐待至死🐶💔,全社會都對呢種行為絕對零容忍!
今日,申訴專員陳積志就漁農自然護理署(漁護署)打擊殘虐動物工作嘅成效發表主動調查行動報告。經過深入調查,包括派調查員實地視察🔍、詳細研究200宗舉報個案📞、審研相關行動指引🗂️同政策文件等, 公署調查主要發現:
📍殘虐動物舉報大幅上升︰上年首6個月漁護署已接獲251宗
📍個案調查成效不足︰漁護署職員未能入屋視察,因而未能見到涉案動物�
📍欠缺處理一般殘虐個案嘅指引︰職員處理個案方式不一
📍對非法使用捕獸器嘅執管︰罰則過輕,全冇阻嚇力
公署向漁護署提出咗45項改善建議🛠️,已獲署方全部接納,期望社會各界攜手守護動物生命🤲
💡重點建議包括:
✅考慮分階段修訂《防止殘酷對待動物條例》,優先加強罪行罰則、加強漁護署人員嘅執法權力
✅優化工作指引,統一調查同執法準則�
✅強化內部監察同把關,加強前線調查效能、溝通能力嘅培訓
✅加強同警務處、愛護動物協會嘅協作,打擊殘虐動物問題
✅針對捕獸器黑點加強巡查,並研究提高相關刑罰

【Direct Investigation Operation Report】In recent years, multiple heartbreaking cases of animal cruelty have arisen in Hong Kong😿🐾, with some animals even abused to death🐶💔. Our society must have zero tolerance to such cruelty.
Today, the Ombudsman, Mr Jack Chan, announced the results of a direct investigation operation into the effectiveness of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (“AFCD”) in combating animal cruelty. Following an in-depth investigation that included site inspections by investigation staff🔍, the study of 200 reported cases📞, and a review of relevant operational guidelines and policy documents, our key findings are as follows:
📍Significant increase in animal cruelty reports: AFCD received 251 reports in the first half of 2025 alone
📍Ineffective investigations: AFCD staff did not enter the premises for inspection and could not check on the animals involved
📍Lack of guidelines for handling general abuse complaint cases: staff members handle cases in varying ways
📍Enforcement against illegal use of animal traps: penalties were too light to serve as any deterrent
We have made 45 recommendations for improvement, all of which have been accepted by AFCD. We call on all sectors of society to join hands in protecting animal lives🤲
💡Our key recommendations include:
✅consider amending the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance in phases, with priority given to strengthening penalties and AFCD staff’s enforcement powers
✅improve operational guidelines and establish uniform standards for investigation and enforcement
✅strengthen internal monitoring, and enhance training for frontline staff in investigation effectiveness and communication skills
✅reinforce collaboration with the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to combat animal cruelty
✅step up inspections at animal trap blackspots, and explore raising relevant penalties
