After several birds there were reportedly trapped with glue, Gardens by the Bay declared on Tuesday ( October 22 ) that it does not tolerate or tolerate poaching.  ,
This comes after the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES ) posted a Facebook post on October 18 that raised the issue of poaching with glue.
In its article, ACRES said it attended to current reviews of incidents , involving animals such as the white-throated bird, olive-backed sunbirds and exotic bird robin.
” However, all these animals died from stress”, ACRES said.
A spokesman for Gardens by the Bay added that measures have been taken to hinder thieves, including increasing the frequency of guards, installing Video cameras at spots, and trimming low-hanging trees to stop them from setting up nets.
” We likewise enlisted the assistance of ACRES to teach our staff to spot signs of suspected hunting, such as the presence of nets or caged animals, and tools like glue, traps, and cables.
” Inner investigations are ongoing, but the suspect has yet to be caught, “it added.
The Parks and Trees Act prohibits the hunting of habitat.
According to its blog, ACRES stated that it supports the ban of glue nets in Singapore because” commercially produced glue for hunting birds is a growing issue.”
According to the community, a adhesive trap is , usually dark-coloured and is often applied to exposed twigs or tree barks”, where innocent birds properly perch”.
By keeping track of suspicious people or cars that might be connected to these baits, it asked the public to assist.
If a member of the public finds a trapped bird, they should call ACRES ‘ wildlife rescue hotline at 97837782, or contact the National Parks Board ( NParks ) for assistance.  ,
They should never attempt , to replace the birds themselves without assistance, as” improper handling can cause more harm”.
We sincerely enjoy the area for being our eyes and ears as well as for submitting these accounts.
Your efforts are still going to be very important in assisting us in collaborating with property management and protection to implement successful deterrents, according to ACRES.
