HONG KONG - Aircraft mechanic Don Yip is one of many thousands leaving Hong Kong after the imposition of a new security law last year and 2019’s pro-democracy protests. Unlike many others, he won’t leave without his pets.

Vets say high costs, flight cancellations and complicated COVID-related procedures have made it far harder to move pets abroad.Some dogs and cats are placed in shelters for up to six months until paperwork for them comes through, while others have been certified as medically unfit to travel. Many people are making abrupt moves to leave following the imposition of China’s national security law and after the violence of the 2019 protests. Some are foreigners who have lost jobs in a coronavirus-stricken economy.

China says the new security law is aimed at a small minority of troublemakers and will not erode the autonomy and wide-ranging freedoms promised to the former British colony when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
