Dr Tan Chek Wee is the person who taught me all about TNRM, which is now very widely practised in Singapore.
I was emailing him this morning and I asked how things are over there on the island. Apparently, he says it has caught on very well and he sees tipped ears everywhere.
Also, residents are also more outspoken now and town councils are less likely to pander to complainants.
Isn't this what we need over here?
1. People who care enough to practise CNRM - that's you and me. 2. People who are outspoken on the issues of caring for the animals - neuter and return to colony so that they can live on (NOT capture and euthanise) - that's also you and me. 3. Councils who do not pander to complainants (who, hopefully, constitute the minority) - that'll be the people in power in the government?
No.3 calls for the people in power to be caring enough to want the best for the animals. Do we and can we have such people?
Ultimately, it's all about education, isn't it?
We have to start somewhere.
Let's do our part, shall we?
No excuses about Singapore being small and educated and therefore they can and we can't. Please....
