[Animal News]The problem of pigeon abuse in Tseung Kwan O has not been solved. Earlier, Zhao Jinhui, a 60-year-old man who repeatedly broke the wings of pigeons in King Lam Estate, was convicted and sentenced to 10 days in prison. However, it had no deterrent effect. Recently, similar pigeon abuse has also occurred in Po Lam Village. In this incident, two pigeons not only had their feathers plucked, but also had their wing and tail hairs cut off with sharp tools. The two pigeons were left hanging next to each other on the street, in great panic.
Mr. Guo, an enthusiastic citizen, said that at noon on September 19, he found two wild pigeons huddled in Baolin Village in a very pitiful state, so he went to take a closer look and found that the two pigeons had their legs and feathers plucked out, and they were even beaten. Use a sharp instrument to trim off the tail and wing hairs. Mr. Guo pointed out that the environment at that time was crowded with people, and the two pigeons were very frightened of people and depended on each other. Although he had no experience in raising birds, he could not bear to have them wandering on the streets after being abused, so he decided to rescue them home first. Make plans.
Neighbors who helped Ge Ge immediately reported the incident to the Tseung Kwan O Police Station. The police also sent officers to the scene to collect evidence and promised to strengthen plainclothes and military uniform patrols.
Mr. Kwok said that pigeon abuse incidents not only occur in Jing Lam Village, but also in places surrounding Jing Lam Village such as Sun Tuk Shing, Hang Hau, Po Lam Estate, etc., where abused pigeons are found from time to time. The perpetrators’ torture methods include plucking, clipping wing and tail feathers, and breaking off the feathers. Wing even broke his legs and cut himself with sharp objects. His methods were cruel and endless. I believe it was done by more than one person.
He admitted that he originally hoped that the successful prosecution case earlier would have a deterrent effect, but unexpectedly, within half a month of the verdict, another pigeon abuse incident occurred, which made them very angry. In the face of the continuous incidents of pigeon abuse in Tseung Kwan O, Mr. Kwok said that in addition to relying on the police to collect evidence and prosecute and strengthen patrols, he would also work with neighborhood volunteers in the area to organize regular inspections of pigeon abuse black spots, and conduct community education to awaken the neighborhood’s attention to pigeon abuse. The pigeon incident and reporting of suspected pigeon abuse cases hope to deter criminals from committing crimes and make Tseung Kwan O a place where humans and animals coexist peacefully.
