Hong Kong's main method of dog and cat population control is to kill the surplus. That means about 2000 (often healthy) animals a month or 25,000 a year are killed, for the simple fact that they do not have a home.

This cruel and inhumane policy has been used for decades and is obviously ineffective.

Many have been working very hard at helping homeless animals, but

no matter how much is done, however hard we try and however valuable our work is to individual animal lives, it is still not enough.

The task of STOP (previously known as the Hong Kong No Kill City Forum) is to persuade the Hong Kong Government to control/limit the surplus of animals, as well as educate the general public about how to prevent the surplus.

We need to stop the problem from the source!
