SINGAPORE: A crow-trapping operation in Toa Payoh drew the ire of some individuals on Thursday evening, with shouts of"crows are innocent" and"animal cruelty" heard directed at the trappers.
Some of these residents threw objects at the balloons, they said, adding that they also noticed green lasers used during the operation. Mr How also reiterated NParks' stance on crows and the board's approach to managing the crow population in Singapore. "NParks ensures that population control is carried out in a humane and safe manner and does not result in animal cruelty by benchmarking against internationally accepted and science-based standards when choosing suitable depopulation methods," he added.
A petition calling on NParks to cease the culling of crows has been set up on Change.org by an individual named Stefanie See.
