There are seriously some cultural of "attitudinal" issues in the AVA and
ACRE, where they were the one in managing of wild life roaming in SG.
When complaints to them of monkeys, they will say not to bother or feed
them. When complaint to them of pigeons, they will say leave them alone and
not to feed them.
They said they will grow more fruit trees for these animals. But there were
no proof of them having done that.
If they had done and grew enough of fruit tress for these pigeons, monkeys
and wild boars, they would not have strayed out of their territory spaces in
the forest and jungle.
This means they did nothing as they were not significant reduction and
elimination of animal intrusion into public areas.
In short, they did nothing to resolve and curb their problems. This is the
dilemma of government people becoming irresponsible and unaccountable for
their incompetence.
One never heard on this from minsters on these matters, and PM were silent
on them, too. Seriously, they should step forward to speak what they should
do with them.
Since the problem has been procrastinated for several years already, there
is a need to finalize a curbing solution to curb them from proliferating and
infesting the public food area with bacteria and viruses.
Post by maricoThose animal rights still think it is still early to curb of the monkeys
even when monkeys had now gone into high-rise flats in Bukit Panjang looking
for foods, and have had attacked people in the flat, where in one case the
old lady was sleeping in her room and she was scratched on her forearm when
attacked by a monkey, and she was traumatized.
There were also of two others were also attacked on the ground. There was
also an interview with a virologist which she explained that there can be
dangerous to human health when virus transmission was made to human being
from monkeys when their teeth have many viruses and bacteria that could
transmit to human beings.
Naturally, given heavy cost of ward and costly medical care in SG, the
virus-transmission monkeys must be curbed immediately. No one wants to pay
their own medical bill caused by the garmen of not curbing the attacking
voracious monkeys.
If human being can be previously were curbed to stop at two, why cant these
animals be curbed too. When their monkey population begun to enter into the
mainstream of human lives in their high-rise flats, it showed they have
adapted to their freedom of roaming and attacking of human beings.
By their entering of flats, it showed that these monkeys have
"instinctively" knew that they were given a lot of leeway of "unworried"
protections by their stupid "human rights" animal people over and on their
very own people, for which are prevented to take counter action to attacking
back at them.
These monkeys know from instincts of animal rights becomes their rights to
become more bolds and more unafraid of human beings at all. This is the
dilemma of this pathetic situation of animal stray controls in Singapore.
Post by maricoCulling is necessary in SG if there is an over-population of the
animals.
It is needed to curb them to stop over-crowding of spaces with people at
hawker centres and coffee shops.
Like using the numbers of COEs to curb the over-population of vehicles in
SG, there should also be similar COE to calculate how many animals per
square km area be allowed to roam in SG.
Every country curb birds to prevent contagious avian diseases. There is a
need to balance between curbing of animals and allowing a certain quantity
of birds in SG to roam and to also prevent jumping of host.
The best for SG is to cull the over-population of mynah and crows so that
they do not hover and defecate around coffee shops and hawker centres.
SG should increase other variety of chirping birds that stay on tree
branches and not on the grounds like what the mynah and crow did.
SG can grow and breed a range of nice variety of small birds that sit on
trees and branches, eating of worms and small insects as foods and not
eating of human foods on tables.
Post by QuinneWhat is the gist of your message here. Is it just a rant or just lamenting
of a piece here/.
There should a gist of the issue here that should be summarized with clear
focus of clarity of how you wish to do or suggest.
Since Louis Ng of ACRES became an MP, coming in under the skirt of a GRC,
those animals on two legs among us have demanded more of everything for
their fellow animals. HDB has to allow its lessees to keep more than one
dog. The punishment for cruelty against animals have become more severe.
Those animals on two legs or their fellow animals consider themselves kings
and queens. No one is allowed to criticize them. Anyone who does it in any
way will be considered mad and hunted down for Lčse Majesté.
The media don't highlight the increase in pests and strays and the worsening
problems caused by them anymore. Instead, cruelty against animals, however
minor, are reported in screaming headlines.
The number of dengue fever and its resultant death keep increasing. The
number of stray cats and dogs in the residential neighborhoods keep
increasing. The pee and poo from them are creating an increasing mess all
over the country. Cockroaches, lizards and even rats are a common
sight
in
common areas of residential estates. They are invading homes. You
cannot
eat
in peace in a hawker center. Mynahs and pigeons settle on leftover
food
to
have a meal when the cleaners are too slow to clear the tables. They also
flutter about, depositing all sorts of dirts on cooked and uncooked food.
Stray cats fight for food dropped on to floors. Having a meal in an open
area is worse. It has become a health hazard.
The laws to protect animals harm human beings more than they can protect
animals. Rather than protect animals, they are meant to punish humans
severely and unreasonably. Do we have to be cruel to our fellow human beings
in order to be kind to animals?
The gist of the issue is in the subject heading. The worry is laws are being
made to protect animals against humans but not the other way round.
People at Bukit Panjang have recently become victims of attacks by wild
monkeys. MP Louis Ng, who is also the chief of ACRES, expresses no sympathy
for the humans. Instead the blame is placed on the humans, for feeding the
animals. Humans are advised how not to provoke the monkeys. In this
situation, we would expect him to come up with a good solution to the
problem.
Under his direction, the monkeys are to be caught in the least hurting way
possible. After that, they will be rehabed and relocated to somewhere else.
This wastes a lot of resources but does not solve the problem. It only moves
the problem to somewhere else. These animals ought to be killed. The Town
Council should advise the people to 'Kill them on sight'. The authority
should also go to the Central Catchment Reserve nearby to cull the monkeys.
The appearance of the wild animals in human inhabited area is usually a sign
of overpopulation in the animals' natural habitat.
The press continues to promote the idea of bringing wilderness closer to the
people with endearing stories about the otters and other wild animals found
in our midst. These are getting closer to human habitats. One day they too
will attack humans. Its only a matter of time.
A new concept is being promoted for the living environment in Singapore
where the city and wilderness meld into one. This is a stupid concept.
Whether you call it a Garden in a City or City in a Garden, a garden or city
is no place where humans are attacked by wild animals. That only happens in
a jungle. Only fools would think of melding a concrete jungle with a real
jungle or vice versa.
Its beginning to show. Wild boars charging at people. Monkeys bite people.
Crows pecked on the heads of people, turning them bloody. Birds of all sorts
fluttering about and scavenging for food in places where humans are having
meals. Stray dogs and cats abound. Rats running around. Is this the type of
city we want to live in?

The problems of animals among us are getting worse. Even enclosed and
air-conditioned food centers have birds pecking at food on the floor or
fluttering about. This is an obvious health hazard. They dirty the food that
the public consume. Where is NEA?
Pigeons, mynahs, sparrows, crows, etc. are everywhere. They are flying
about, pecking at food or resting, in flocks. They are nesting at ledges and
rooftops of public and private properties and filling up these places with
their droppings. Some have become more aggressive. There have been rising
cases of attacks on humans by crows, turning the heads of humans into bloody
mess. There are so many stray dogs and cats that they cannot avoid bumping
into each other and the cats ended up being killed by the dogs. In these
instances, animal lovers would first suspect humans to be the culprits. Cats
are intruding into the homes of unsuspecting residents. Police has to be
called to deal with a ferocious cat which intruded into someone's home.
When it comes to environmental protection, the finger only points at the
waste that humans produced. Animals and the waste that they produce are
damaging the living environmental for humans too. They lower the quality of
our living environment and endanger public safety and health.
Animals continue to be treated better than humans. Police dogs are going to
be well taken care of after their retirements. They will be properly housed
and fed. They will be allowed in HDB flats. Before this, bigger dogs are
also allowed in HDB flats. For goodness sake, the flats are getting smaller
and being packed closer together in a block. It is already a stressful
living environment. Do we have to share it with animals too? It will be
worsen by dogs barking and urinating and defecating about.
What about the humans who retire from the SPF? Do the SPF ensure that they
will not suffer in their twilight years after sacrificing a large part of
their lives to keep Singapore safe?
The efforts to psyche the people to accept more animals into their midst
continue, with increasing intensity of media bombardment. From previews, it
seems we are going to be bombarded with TV serials showing the loving and
cute nature of animals from around the world, especially dogs. There is no
attempt to present a balanced view. There is nothing in the media to alert
the public to the ferocious and merciless nature of animals. News of
animals attacking humans are only briefly covered, if ever, and they are
only local cases. Google for horrible real life stories about dogs with
these words: dog attacks kills baby
Here's the first one from a long list:
http://www.wfmynews2.com/news/nation/dog-attacks-kills-3-week-old-baby/443249577
Even supposedly harmless and helpful dogs can become ferocious attacker.

Calling for the culling of strays are referred to as "the usual response of
fear and ignorance by a minority of people", as one academic in his ivory
tower, Senior lecturer at the department of biological sciences at the
National University of Singapore, N. Sivasothi, put it.
Its going to get worse as more Singaporeans adopt his kind of attitude and
this nation deteriorates into one of kind-hearted fools.
