SINGAPORE - Close to 30 pigeons, many of them dead or unconscious, were found on the grass patch and in common areas between Block 438 and Block 436 in Yishun Avenue 11 last Monday (May 29) evening. A Yishun resident, who wanted to be known only as Ms Aishah, said some of the pigeons were struggling, flapping their wings while on the ground. Ms Aishah, 28, also spotted some children playing near the area at around 6pm that day, as she was on her way to pick up her younger brother from school. The pigeons were still there when she went back to check four hours later at 10pm. “This is my first time seeing dead pigeons around the area,” said Ms Aishah. She contacted the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), who arrived at the scene within the hour. “It’s very sad and inhumane to see not just a few, but about 20 dead birds lying around where people are walking around, some with their pets, and with cats and children around. It’s not safe,” said Ms Aishah, who is an administrative executive. “Some of the kids that were playing around where the birds were found were very young, maybe less than four.” Read more
