A cat that was used as a football sustained such severe injuries that it had to be put down.儲存 Up to six people were seen kicking the animal on a Kwun Tong estate a year ago. At Kwun Tong Magistrates' Court yesterday So Pak-lam and Yip Wai-kit, both 23, Yeung Kiu- yue, 26, and Kong Ka-man, 18, denied charges of animal cruelty. Witness Yu Siu-man told the court that he went to Tin Chi House on the Shun Tin Estate as part of his promotion work with a telecommunications company. Deputy magistrate Kennis Tai Chiu-ki heard that while Yu was having a smoke between the 11th and 12th floors on the rear staircase he heard a noise. Yu said he looked down and saw up to six people kicking a dark cat. ``There were two to three of them on each side, and they were passing the cat like a football.'' He admitted he could only recognize some of those involved by their clothing and not their迷你倉 facial features. Another witness, Wong Yin- chu, who lives on the 13th floor, said she saw two people kicking a cat when she was taking out the garbage. ``The cat was on its side. They picked it up and one of them kicked it to the other person,'' Wong said. She said the two passed the cat between them at least five times, adding she thought the animal was dead because it did not move. But after the two left, the cat crawled back toward a wall. Someone else living in Tin Chi House found the cat in front of their door. It was bleeding from its mouth and its rear limbs were paralyzed. It was put to sleep after staff from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came to collect it. The four suspects were later arrested after police trawled through CCTV footage. However Kong Ka-man was the only one actually identified. The trial continues today. STAFF REPORTER 儲存倉
