After a pair of crows attacked pedestrians in Bishan last week, CNA spoke to wildlife experts about how the crow population in Singapore should be controlled.
SINGAPORE: While culling is a quick way to address complaints from the public, there are better ways of controlling the crow population in Singapore, the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society said.
After the Bishan incidents, Lianhe Zaobao reported that a 38-year-old woman was attacked by a crow along Hougang Avenue 8 last Friday.Ex-auxiliary police officer jailed for culling crows with shotgun without safety officer present as part of measures to control the population. NParks also said it adopts the"more humane method of trapping and subsequent euthanasia".Although the shooting of crows has stopped, ACRES said it is still concerned about the way the birds' numbers are controlled.
The birds will continue to reproduce despite culling, chairman of the society's bird group Tan Gim Cheong pointed out. People also often complain about the noise crows make, but there is a reason for this noise, Ms Boopal said. "Usually, it starts with human behaviour, infrastructure, when all these do not work then you interfere at the animals' level," she said.
