I have no objection here to take this set of photos.
my concern is feral animals in HK. Have you seen porcupines slaughtered by local dogs? Have you seen pregnant barking deer killed by local dogs? I have seen it before so I cannot share your views.
In many parts of the world, for instance Australia, feral dogs and cats are considered as pests as (1) they catch a lot of wildlife as prey and (2) they display the native predators.

Cat is considered as one of the top 100 invasive species. They do kill wild birds!
So do look after your dogs and cats.
