While I was walking at Toa Payoh Central, a pigeon who seemed to be hungrily hunting for food captured my sight. She loitered outside the coffeeshop, hoping she could peck a tiny bit of food on the ground. She was limping and has the worst feet that I’ve ever seen. Strings are the cause for the pigeons’ broken feet. It must be very painful, very very painful for its feet to be cut away by a string.
I wish I could adopt her, help her and provide her with everything she needs. At that moment, I just wish she has enough to eat. May her stomach be filled with enough food and clean water every day.
There will be more pigeons and crow trapping and killing at Toa Payoh and Toa Payoh Central is one of them. My heart was heavy upon receiving the news. I visited Bishan Toa Payoh Facebook to check it out. Indeed more killing is on its way.
According to the post, the purpose of killing them is to provide a better space and a good quality of life for the residents. My immediate response was “humans are stupid”. How could killing birds provide a better space and good quality of life for the people. Only with the reducing of building buildings and cutting down of the human population would provide a better space and a good quality of life for the people.
I often tell Toofy, the cat, that he must always share space and food with other cats. It would be a shame to have the idea of not sharing space with other species! May the future generations not learn from them.
I’m helpless that I couldn’t get the authorities to stop killing. Having understood the cause and effect allows me to relieve my pain. I hope in one way or another, I’m able to influence others into coexisting with other species. Hopefully one day, we could all live harmoniously.
The respect I used to have for PAP is gone. Greed is all I see in them. My friend asked me how to have more supporters like PAP, I told her that it is through lying and making promises. Disagreement doesn’t mean that I have bad wishes for them. It simply means that I will not support them.
