Hong Kong authorities have charged a woman on suspicion of keeping 136 dogs without valid licenses. The Agriculture, Conservation and Fisheries Department (AFCD) initiated prosecution following a raid on a shelter in the Yuen Long district.

During the operation, officials identified the 136 dogs as potentially being kept without the necessary licenses.
