I never even thought about this happening. It breaks my heart 😢. Anyone that hurts/kills an innocent animal is not a human. Animals are so trusting and vulnerable. I’m not sure if I can even finish watching this video because I’m getting angrier and angrier as I watch. Thank you for bringing this to light. People need to know.

@@tinkarserikok5780 it not that I’m am for killing animals, but the way she word it sounds just annoys me like then don’t eat fcken meat
RIP Senior Inspector Kary Lam, who died in the line of service two days ago when her police boat capsized during a high-speed race with vessels involved in illegal cross-border smuggling
Starting from 4'30".
rest in peace
May She rest in peace. 😂❤❤❤❤
Poor Jason... 😔 it really hurts to not know rather than know.. Hope Rennie is in good hands somehow... 🙏 All evil acts towards animals need to stop! People are getting evil... Sigh
Ⓐ 👊👍
My heart breaks for the poor tortoises 🐢 or animals that died in transit. Despicable consumerism.
More like despicable communism
Thanks for this detailed investigative report on endangered animals. I’m vert sad that this is happening to all animals in the world. 😱😥☹️😢
@Vaginas_ Vibrators no
great docu,thanks
Amazing documentaries that CNA has been doing. Keep it up
from what I heard people from Hong Kong usually are pretty busy and hearing this is happening around HK it’s quite shocking
Very well made piece: thank-you!
Have you investigated about the poisoning of several dogs in Cyberport too? So horrible.
That’s what happens when you have a country with no animal cruelty Laws
@ 30:00 HK guy that breeds those animals, people are so greedy. those poor animals, they never feel the warmth of the sun or just be outside!
There are a lot of people on this world who are pure scum. 😡
⚠️For those who don't know:
- *The snakes shown in this video are NOT endangered;* they are ball pythons which are bred in great numbers worldwide because they are ridiculously docile, completely harmless to humans (small children can safely handke then,) they will 100% chill with you while you watch movies, they come in a rainbow of beautiful colour morphs and therefore yes, they do make awesome pets! *It would have been deeply appreciated had the producers of this episode actually found legit endangered reptiles to film instead of negatively smearing the reptile hobby* and had the host done her research - then she would not have overreacted so massively on camera because she would have known that the ball python she was handling was 100% harmless to her! Even completely wild ball pythons are ridiculously docile, harmless little animals. Ball pythons have been bred in captivity for many, many generations and there is an argument for them being considered domesticated.
- The rest of the reptiles shown (except for the ploughshares tortoise from Madagascar): all actively captive bred in great numbers and *not endangered!*
- *Boa constrictors DO NOT EAT PEOPLE.* You can confidently handle one safely without having another person present.
- There is only *one* species of snake *on the entire planet* that has actually been verified to eat humans - the reticulated python, from Malaysia. Humans are simply not the right shape to make good prey for giant snakes and giant snake species themselves are extremely rare.
- Almost nobody keeps 'hot' venomous snakes as pets. 'Hot' meaning that the venom is medically significant. The people who DO keep hot snakes have to go through a lot of training - I think if I remember right it's something like 2,000 hours - and certification in most places before they can own one. Most of the people who do handle hot snakes work in venom labs where the venom is extracted in order to make antivenom *which saves lives.*
⚠️*PLEASE stop negatively portraying snakes, wild or not as it does extreme harm to those still in the wild because it justifies people being cruel to them for no reason other than they think snakes are 'icky' or 'scary.*' In fact, some indigenous people in South America prior to colonization kept pet snakes in their huts as friendly pest control!❤
Incredible reporting, thank you for your great efforts, the success is possibly due to the fact that u are from Singapore and Hong Kong will cooperate
USA is the number one market for exotic animals, birds, fishes, reptiles and other wild life species in the world, Do a documentary on the rampant smuggling and exploitation of this trade. In the meantime investigate Fort Detrick in USA
The reporter's dog 💖 24:57-25:01 so adorable
These people have no regards for humans let alone animals
Wow! I am so surprised that HK Police Force did reply, allow the interview and even given a chance for media to have the boat ride. I feel amazed as a Hong Konger even HK Media haven’t got a chance like this
For Jason’s case, what I am guessing is the cat might be taken away and resell it to someone with the original chip removed and a new chip could be implanted. As a snowy white cat like this, people are willing to offer a good price or even sell it to the breeder
Poor animals..... 🥺
I've had greek tortoises for years (they'll likely outlive me, one I have is 40+ yrs. ) they make lovely interactive pets. not cheap to keep, but with the right enclosure, proper lighting temperature and diet along with an exotic veterinarian can be wonderful lifelong companions.
Who's here disgust with the Mainlanders?
Just the mainlanders? All of China is responsible
I recently (A week ago) seen a post shared, in a Facebook dog group, mainly American owners and breeders, but the post was about AKC now partnering with CDC (in the United States) to restrict importation of dogs from certain countries., because of rabies issue.
Subscribed 🔔Liked 👍🏻Shared 😎
Silence for 50 years now finally find the correct timing to -investigate- post it lol
I adore how she said, "There are better ways to keep cool." And bro just shook his head instantly. That's a dude who loves his snakes.
ive never heard of a place called kong kong
As a mainland Chinese, I feel shamed about the pet smuagling.
FYI....it’s not a secret if people already know.
Their house already so small like a rat holes and they still want to keep pets.
Are these people humans or what????
😔😔
oh no
I have an idea for you to find and call every pet smugler and when they come to the place that you told them to go pretend like a park maybe make sure the patrol police are there and wabam we got most of the pet smugler and if they stole the pet than you need to track the owners and give the back to them,is my idea great or weird plz tell me?
Manne, them folks will eat or exploit anything.....
$ 900.00 for one baby cat.... and that’s half the cost of the legitimate ones ($1800.00)! Wow! Now I see why this is happening! I hope they restructure their laws to find ways to make legal purchases more affordable!
huh ? there is no such law to govern pet prices and theres no need , the law itself cost high cost of cigarettes hence more smuggling
That's the price for pure breed pets, even more of they come with cert. If someone wanted they could probably get a normal tabby cat or mogrel dog for very less or for free, but people like fancier pets.
Uh.... these are purebred animals... $1800 usd whether cat or dog is cheap....
Compare to USA, rarer cats can be an easy $5k, over $10k for something like a Tibetan mastiff......
So... back to China market... purebred animal still seems inexpensive. In compqrison though, seems like smuggled animals are super inexpensive
These animals are prolly being used to launder money too
Thr investigator is beautiful
There is a ring on her wedding finger.
If you love something, do not cage them and let them be free. Protect them and let them live happy in the wild
I live in Boston Massachusetts United States of America and I own a pitbull dog I’m not a cat person but i still love ALL animals.
If I was visiting China and I had to bring my dog if I called an agency to take care of it and they end up stealing my pet I would probably kill the owner of that agency I would be in jail. I know he’s only a dog but my dog is more than that to me, i’m really glad you guys did the story I had no idea this was going on I have friends that visit Hong Kong in China that are also pet owners I will have to talk to them now about this thanks for the story she’s a good reporter good job 👍🏼
It's unfortunately been a problem for a while in both HK and China. It started off with poor people stealing pets from the rich to eat and now it's more for resale.
All those ball pythons are captive bred , but oh boy those plowshare tortoise was crazy! Rarest tortoise in the world
900 bucks for a cat is crazy!!! I only paid 170 at spca for my siamese kitten
9:19 oh gosh, I feel so bad 😂😂😂 ya right 😂😂
If extradition law exist there won’t be smugglers
I'm shocked that it's even legal to breed and sell reptiles in Hong Kong. How does the Hong Kong gov't even allow the breeding of BOA? This is so disturbing. One day an unlucky kid or old lady is just going to be swallowed by an escaping boa or alligator in the park. There are incidents in the USA where alligators just jumped out of the bush to swallow old ladies and kids. Alligators are very fast.
Those snakes shown in the video never grow to 'man eating size', most species are actually quite docile. You're far more likely to get hurt by a stray dog or an angry rat lol. I'd recommend watching a channel called "Snake Discovery" to learn more about reptiles so they're not as scary. They actually have a pet rescue alligator too so they can tell you about their behaviour. :)
Sorry can’t even watch
Those are some really expensive ball python morphs!
Thanks for looking into this. I couldn't stop laughing while she had the snake on her neck
Ducks to quack
now that they are part of CHINA, it is okey to exposé?
Asians have not the best reputation when it comes to animals, blesses to the people who fight to make a change 🖤 also the world really really needs new conservation laws, along with transportation laws for pets. I can't stand to leave my pets alone this would be bad as losing my children 😭
If my dog got stolen I will find you and call you :)I have a dog he's a husky 3 years old I will call you if my dog gets lost :)
breeders in hk and china and many part of Asia are extremely irresponsible , over breeding , terrible breeding conditions , totally brutal and irresponsible making money for the every growing pet industry. cats and dogs are sold at ridiculously low price and many are deserted and abandoned after realizing they are sick and required expensive medical treatments!
Instagram and human envy is a joke
People are just so ignorant 😸
It's absolutely insane
We are the vermin on this beautiful planet
mainland chinese you need to stop derailing the focus on mainland chinese forcing Hong Kong with your abusive laws
The focus should be on the millennia of atrocities committed during colonial rule
@@H3adl3sschick3n like allowing refugees who were persecuted under Mao to live a prosperous life and a chance for freedom??? Yep, sounds terrible
Bet you feel dumb for assuming they wouldn't get back to you
Data breaches has happened...
Omg I can't believe that anyone buys cats they are free in America
America? Pshhh people buy purebred animals galore there as well!
@@Account-xm6vj of course there is!!!!! No one should buy buy from breeding mills period.
@@Account-xm6vj China is still disgusting they endanger anything moving for some fake medicinal bs
@@amandawessel5585 I agree! I'm always adopt don't shop. No one should even buy from breeders there's really no need.
Where is Mainland Chinese justice when most needed? Tried, convicted, executed in the twinkling of an eye... 包青天!
So sad and disgusting
This is only a small part of the story, breeders should stop over breeding animals
for profit, thousands of animals are euthanized yearly, because they have a crossed
eye or one leg is shorter, also people buy these animals because the neighbors has
one or they look cute, then they are tired of the responsibility, and discards them
Donate some cat food.. Afraid the kittens will be starved. 😭
😠
Cry! Cry for many!!!
Gûn kāi
A Chinese city during a pandemic, knowing little about the the way it transfers yet. Those animals were destroyed. China #1
hong kong was the pearl of china! then changed because of chinese arrived from mainland .
Few minutes into the documentary, there we have the HKPF. All HongKongers know what the HKPF are like, they only investigate cases that are not against their interest/ when they want to. Stop trying to glorify them CNA.
cats are pretty but U ! ah!
Hong kong and China is one now...politically..So continue to keep the separate sets of rules doesnot make sense. It's only causing grief among citizens both sides...😊😊😊
China vs Hong Kong 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
Why were you speaking English to her when she was speaking Cantonese to you 🤦♂️
I was thinking maybe she didnt speak English very well but she spoke English in certian parts and it sounded fine. Maybe she's just more comfortable speaking in her native tongue.
hello, cna is english not cantonese ,ha
Stop been a ass hole 🕳
Wei not used to Big White Python in her Face hehe 😜
Can't watch it sorry.

People collect and keep Leopard Geckos because they believe they are beautiful. Same thing goes for most snakes. The skin patterns are believed to be beautiful. It's not just envy. Just like Japanese love to collect beautiful Koi Fish because of their patterns. And Bettas (Thai Fighting fish) because they are ornamental/beautiful in some peoples eyes. It cost way too much to keep and feed these animals to justify doing it just for envy and to show off on instagram. These people want to share their hobby/interest with other like minded individuals and many of them have the proper permits and obey the laws concerning how the animals should be kept. Even going beyond what is needed because of their love for their pets. Some people spend over $600 for surgery for their Hamster that only cost $10. You never hear about them. You are only seeing the negative side in programs like this. Most people are willing to take proper care for their animals and give them a quality of life that can often be better, or safer than is possible in the wild today due to a loss of habitat caused by big business operations. Correct that and work on preserving their natural habitats before judging people that really do love the animals they keep. Rain Forest destruction, Palm oil plantations, etc.. are more harmful to the wildlife than the illegal pet trade. If someone is willing and able to do it correctly/legally there is no reason to make it impossible for them to keep certain "legal" exotic pets. Use your energy going after the criminals that are not following the rules.
funny
China be like 🙂🙃
3:08 "...six dead cats". That's nice to hear.
Them feline vermins are the lowest form of mammals on earth
Hope you're in jail already sick frick
The woman has way too much time on hand...
WHO PRO DEMOCRATS?
Me from Malaysia and Democrat mean majority voters decide HongKong future since it was held during riots..
Riots indeed wrong since its causing disruption to normal lifestyle yet 90% of HK people choose changes even their normal life disrupted.
Why Hongkong people don't support Pro china during election even everywhere were chaos?
Your perception about riots mean what did by the govt cannot be wrong, were not the right conclusion.
MEANING OF DEMOCRACY
HK election have two stages and 1st round won by Pro democrat by 90% margin, yet before the final election were held for choosing leader, the lady implemented new law, which either jail or disqualified almost all her opponents that won the landslide election.
12 manged to escape but their boat caught by China marine before could reach Taiwan and jailed in China for their involvement in causing riots.
But what if you were one of them?
You jailed for causing riots but 90% of the people want you to challenge the lady that only gain 10% votes count or be their new leader.
The final round for choosing leader cannot see a new face representing Hongkong?
Pro China also presumed, how many seat they expected from 1st round election but somehow won by Pro democrat.
Causing riots mean wrongdoing?
You still unaware what it mean by riots, if 90% of HK people choose you.
The lady knew, she will lose the final election or why she created new law to stop her downfall cos the people want changes since riots causes by Pro Democrats would stop, if they in power.
You should not presume HK people were that dumb, till ignore the meaning of prosperity or support riots, so they not needed to work. Only China people can see that as reason, which senseless till unbelievable.
Just say HK people want more from the new elected leader, for those living in cages.
Pro china rules Hongkong from 1997. They won mean life goes on but upon losing, they created new law to catch all their opponent, mean what?
That is not the meaning of socialist, democracy nor communist but DICTATORSHIP..
(Google "Danny Woo Vk" in Bing for book of life and cure for COVID-19 without hospitalization)
XINJIANG?
That province can see army patrolling everywhere and even tourists fear of venturing in Xinjiang since one can dissappeared without a trace yet the worst part, police can say they don't care.
My advice? Put a X in your map, so you remember why, you shouldn't be there..
ok.
