Last month, “Dongwang” was the first to report that a woman was surprised to see a woman feeding rats in Shanjing Village, Tuen Mun, which aroused the attention of all sectors of society. Although the health department has sent staff to clean up the scene afterwards, the problem of rodents in Hong Kong is still raging in various districts. A netizen in Meifu reported on social platforms yesterday (2nd) that there were citizens near his housing estate openly “throwing bread” to feed the rats, and posted angrily: “I understand that there are more and more rats and cockroaches in Meifu. This is the reason. , everyone feeds everything!” At night, a neighbor responded by leaving a message, seeing at least 5 mice infested and “having a big meal” at the same scene.
According to relevant pictures posted by netizens on the Facebook group “Mei Foo” at 3 p.m., it can be seen that a flower garden in Mei Foo New Village and Mastercard Plaza is filled with a lot of bread, and the bread itself is suspected to be in good condition. Citizens “leftover food” or kitchen waste, the victim questioned that someone deliberately put food on the scene to feed the rats. After seeing the relevant posts, several neighbors wondered whether it was the work of a nearby bakery, but someone left a message saying that they had witnessed food feeding nearby, “the last time there was a four-eyed woman who dropped bread here”, and some even Published a photo of the woman involved, referring to seeing the person holding a large bag of bread and feeding pigeons and mice in the park earlier, but I don’t know if it was the person who fed the rats.
But in the evening, a neighbor left a message and uploaded the latest photos of the scene, saying, “I saw 5 (rats) at the same location at night.” The incident attracted many netizens to leave messages to criticize. Some people think that the above-mentioned behavior cannot be ignored, “I am so angry. If I see me, I must call the police. I will catch her (the rat woman) and let her go. I will be a witness and sue Can’t tell?”, “It’s really hard to understand that there are more and more people like this. In fact, is there anything we can do?”.
In fact, the Hong Kong government recently revised the “Wild Animals Protection Ordinance” to prohibit citizens from feeding wild animals anywhere in Hong Kong, with a maximum fine of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but feeding cats, dogs, mice, wild pigeons, etc. is not restricted by the new regulations. A practicing barrister once pointed out that if feeding them pollutes public places, such as leaving behind leftover feed, most law enforcement officers will commit the crime of littering, and offenders will be fined 1,500 yuan. He bluntly stated that the situation is not ideal, and believes that feeding rats and wild pigeons should be banned by law to avoid frequent related behaviors.
