Hong Kong has a very complicated political situation, which has been getting worse over the years, even with the frequent protests of the population. However, the situation has become even more difficult due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is because the policy of Hong Kong continues to adopt a restriction model called “Covid zero”, which imposes numerous borders. Therefore, many people are no longer able to support themselves financially in the territory and are leaving the place and abandoning their pets.

But the situation is not at all easy for those looking to leave Hong Kong, as several airlines no longer provide services in that space. Therefore, the only option for those who can leave is through private jet flights.
Owners decide not to abandon cats in Hong Kong
It is in this somewhat catastrophic context that a man named Lee decided that he would do what was necessary, but he would not abandon his pets. So Lee, who is leaving Hong Kong for the UK with his wife, was willing to pay a lot more to rescue his cats.
In this case, Lee could afford to travel on a commercial flight to the UK with his wife, but these flights are overbooked. In addition, the few available commercial flights are not accepting animals, or have already filled their quota.
As a result, the couple saw no option but to pay more for a private flight to stay with their cats. Thus, they will be able to arrive safe and sound with the whole family in the new country they have chosen to live.
Many are abandoning their pets
With all the restrictions imposed, many pet owners are unable to leave Hong Kong with their pets. For this reason, a wave of stray animals has spread across the city and is already drawing the attention of those who are still there. Especially because a flight for an animal and its guardian can be very expensive for a person who cannot afford the high prices. Still, Lee's family decided that they would make every effort necessary to keep their family together.
In these cases, we can see how much some people actually care about their pets. And if you are also one of those who love animals, don't forget to share this story with your friends and family!
