[Sg] - PAP Shanmugam: I will jail whoever tries to interfere with my bird traps to kill invasive species!

[UltimaOnline]

Shanmugam noted that NParks has encountered interference with the traps by animal lovers on several occasions, including overturned cages, blocked trap entrances and deliberate noise-making to warn nearby crows.

In other cases, some animal lovers cut the cable ties of the traps, or cut the wires of the CCTV cameras before freeing the birds, he said.

Shanmugam said this is a serious matter as it hampers the efforts of NParks officers and wastes public resources, adding that he has asked authorities to "take a very firm approach" to such offences.

To this end, the police will investigate these cases, with a view to prosecuting and seeking deterrent sentences including custodial sentences, where appropriate.

While he acknowledged that there are animal lovers who feel strongly about culling or trapping of birds, Shanmugam said they should raise their concern with their MP instead of resorting to such actions.

I spoke to a Npark subject expert a few years ago. Like our population, our wildlife is also a melting pot.

Even many types of butterflies are invasive species

Shouldn't we embrace foreign animals like foreign-born citizens? Or we should call foreigners "invasive species" too?

The PAP keeps importing cobras and other highly poisonous snakes from India

CECAs are foreign invasive species who are killing local PMEs; displacing them from their livelihood.

The PAP must be held accountable for killing off S'porean PMEs through their open leg policy to foreign PMEs

Terrorism?

The PAP's open leg policy is economic genocide

Why he spends so much time talking on cats, birds, snakes? There is no such issues in other constituencies!

I thought pythons, they are good in coding!

 

[eatshitndie]

what about invasive species of cecas and cicadas?

 

[glockman]

They have to trap and kill off animals because those innocent creatures are venturing out of their natural habitat, due to the pap destroying their homes.

Also, bird migration is a natural phenomenon. Some may choose to set up home here, so why want to get rid of them?

The pap needs to stop wasting our money on traps and trappers.

More business for the cronies who set up the traps.

PAP IS the disease.....6 million humans and sub-humans in these 290 sq miles is the main problem

many invasive species in our parliament who are not local-born
