Drivers must stop their vehicles after hitting dogs or cats or risk a HK$10,000 fine and six months' imprisonment following a legislative amendment passed yesterday in Hong Kong. The amendment to the Road Traffic Ordinance was passed yesterday and will take effect six months after it is gazetted.

This will help further safeguard animal welfare.

Drivers who hit them with their vehicles have the legal responsibility to stop, and those who don't are liable to a fine of HK$10,000 and six months in jail.
