Over the weekend, ACRES’ Animal Crime Investigation Unit responded to a report of an active bird trap outside an HDB unit, alongside caged birds. With help from the town council, we advised the resident against illegal poaching and removed the trap. We will be following up with a letter providing guidance on the proper care for the other caged birds.

Such cases highlight a challenge we face: Our officers act as swiftly as possible. But without enforcement powers, we cannot deactivate traps on private property immediately. This often means waiting for enforcement agencies to take action, which can lead to delays and the risk of wild birds being caught in the trap. On a case-by-case basis, we promptly strategise for the best possible outcome and monitor the situation.

Reports from concerned individuals enable us to take action so your vigilance makes all the difference. Your willingness to blow the whistle can save the lives of those who are unable to speak up for themselves. Help us take action by reporting cases at https://tinyurl.com/ACRESCRIME
