喂犀鸟吃香蕉 男子遭罚款200元!
上月,网友在新加坡自然协会脸书专页,分享有犀鸟闯入本地一家咖啡店,两只犀鸟在餐桌间跳来跳去,吃掉桌上食物残渣,还有一名男子剥香蕉皮喂犀鸟。
据《野生动物和飞禽法令》(Wild animals and Birds Act),喂食野生动物是违法的,初犯者将被罚款高达5千元,重犯者的罚款可高达1万元。
据了解由于喂食野生犀鸟的行为,有关男子也被公园局开罚单,罚款200元。公园局也针对喂食行为提醒了有关咖啡店,并监督后续情况。
关爱动物研究协会(ARCES)副执行理事长卡莱(Kalai Vanan)也曾提醒,若野生动物习惯被喂食,可能改变他们的习性。
它们可能会开始主动靠近正在吃东西的人们,以取走他们的食物。这相互作用最终将导致人们和野生动物发生冲突,民众可能会觉得这些动物变得具有攻击性。
