SINGAPORE : With Vesak Day approaching, the National Parks Board (NParks) has urged the public to refrain from releasing animals into the wild.
It said domesticated animals would be unable to fend for themselves in the forest.
Most of them do not survive after being released and an estimated 90 percent die within a day.
Introducing animals non-native to Singapore into the wild would also disturb the ecological balance in nature reserves or reservoirs.
These animals are usually more aggressive or prolific breeders and may compete with the native animals for food and space.
NParks is working closely with other organisations to educate the public on the harmful consequences of such acts.
Volunteers are putting up posters and distributing brochures at various locations ahead of the upcoming Vesak Day holiday. - CNA/ms -

Happy Vesak Day!!
Yeah, we must be careful about animal liberation.
My master recommended many many years ago that it's better we 'protect lifes' (being vegetarian, protecting the lives of animals in whichever way, etc) than practise animal liberation since many problems comes out from it.
Of course if everything is planned very well and they're sure the animals can survive then that's fine. -
no free bird, no luck!
anyway Happy Vesak Day to all sentient beings! -
