    Yesterday, members of Protection of Animals Lantau South (PALS) met police to express concerns over how the animals were treated at the crash site and traffic problems on Lantau. They also submitted a letter asking police to investigate officers who attended the scene for possible dereliction of duty or animal cruelty.

    Group founder Jacqui Green said the police caused the dying animals additional suffering by moving them from the road to the pavement, treating them like a road hazard and not victims needing help. "There is a very definite case of cruelty to animals as far as the way they handled them," Green said. "Their concern in moving them appeared to be that they were considered a traffic hazard. Some of them were alive, but they were dragged across the road. This would have caused them additional suffering. One calf which was alive was piled up with the dead ones."

    Didn't someone on this thread suspect it may have been a Cathay pilot behind the wheel??

    Looks like they may have changed job!

    I hate to bring this back to live, but is it correct that in the meantime the real cow-killer was found to be a local construction truck driver?
