HONG KONG: Police in southwest China have launched an investigation into the case of a dog which died from over 70 knife wounds, a news website reported. The dog was sent to an animal hospital, but died the next morning. The head of the hospital was quoted as saying that the animal had more than 70 knife wounds, with over 30 to the head. A vet operated for over five hours on the dog, but was unable to save its life. The only legal provision that exists allows pet owners to sue others if they had harmed their animal, the lawyer said.
