ACRES Are Looking For Information on Someone Who Shooting Pigeons With Darts In Jurong West
On Feb 2020, the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) found 2 pigeons shot with darts and they manage to rescue one of them, while unfortunately another one pass away. Therefore, Acres and NParks are looking for who is committing such an act of animal abuse.
Acres are urging the public to contact them if they happen to have information about shooting darts at pigeon at Jurong West. On Monday 3 Aug, Nparks are still reported that they are receiving news on the incident that is still happening. Similar to the incidents back in Feb, the pigeons were found around Block 864 Jurong West Street 81.
Animal cruelty carries stiffer punishments since Jun, with the updated Wildlife Act allowing up to $50,000 in fines, 2 years’ jail, or both if one feeds, releases or kills wildlife. ACRES is now appealing to the public again for any leads, as the investigation has stalled. You can reach out to them via email at acrescrime@gmail.com
