Released To Death Whats It To Animal Protection?. ..

RELEASED TO DEATH: WHAT’S IT TO ANIMAL PROTECTION?

This morning, our wildlife rescue team attended to a case only to find a dead Asiatic soft-shelled turtle at Sembawang beach. Being a freshwater species, she would have suffered a lot in this marine habitat, before she gave up.

This turtle is one of the several victims we come across in our rescue work – run over, dead or injured, because of release.

1. Can release of any wild animals be regulated island-wide?

2. Do you think more outreach is necessary to raise awareness to end this suffering?

3. Do you think our laws should be tightened to protect the native habitats and the wildlife?

A public consultation on Wild Animals and Birds Act will be held this Friday (4th May) where you can sound your concerns. (Register here at: https://tinyurl.com/y843ravg)
