Another slideshow done by Geri!
Somehow along the way, we think that birth control may not be a good idea. We believe prolonged use of birth control could bring negative health impact to the birds.
We’ve actually come to agree that the best solution is still co-existence !

I remember when we first formed a “Sav the pigeons group” last year, we were all enthusiastic! Geri was one of the member, perhaps she still is. I am not in the group anymore but will keep supporting their work. Geri did a wonderful job and she shared with me. I would like to share it here.
For the welfare of the animals, I think we should support one another. We have our own strengths and weaknesses that can be put into good use. To me, everyone’s ideas are equally important and should be taken into consideration. There is no mine and yours. It’s for the animals.
During that time, everyone in the group had been working very hard to fight for the pigeons. They are still fighting…
It’s not only kids who will be traumatised by the event. Anyone at any age can be traumatised by such event!

Animals are not the ones we should be concerned about. It is humans who create unwholesome actions by intentionally killing them. Always choose to be kind!

Pigeons culling will be expanded to another three constituencies. Is there really no way that we can help the pigeons? Is it that difficult for humans to coexist with the pigeons?
I believe we could use humane ways to manage the pigeons population and also to coexist with them. In order for this to happen, it would require a lot of effort, time and resources. It will take years to complete the process and to see the results. Anything that is not making profit, our government will not do it. They would rather uproot trees and remove a real forest and build a fake one to make profits.
I’m sad that there is nothing I can do for the pigeons who are intended to be killed. But good thing is, the pigeons are not creating unwholesome actions. Therefore, there is no negative kamma created. It calms my mind whenever I think about it. Supporting coexistence and humane ways in treating animals often benefit both humans and animals. When we care for the animals, we are also helping the people.
To do good often requires time and effort. Although I can’t stop the killing, I can always help the pigeons in need. It is always much easier to help when we’ve accepted the cause and condition, that is accepting that the pigeons would be killed!
Yes, wishing all sentient beings to be enlightened is the best way to end all killings.
Pigeon and mynah coexist in a city we call Singapore.

I attended Jane Goodall’s talk the other day. She said she’ll be the voice for the voiceless until her body wears out. Same here. I’ll be the voice for the animals until my body wears out!
This happened about two hours ago. When a group of pigeons is being killed, pigeons from other areas fly and settle here. There is no over-population of pigeons in Singapore, they only congregate in certain areas.
The pigeons were struggling very hard to free themselves, unwilling to be trapped and killed. Just like us. Mdm Law reminded me, when humans are afraid of death, animals suffer as a result. It is always easy to blame.
In the process of trapping, one of the trappers said that I am mentally ill. I reported this to NParks. Believe me, there is no one you can trust when humans have killing on their mind. Today, those who kill are the good ones, those who save are seen as the bad ones.
I hope there will be more Jane Goodall in the future and the fight continues!
