On Thursday (7 Jan), the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) posted an appeal for information on an incident involving a pigeon in Ang Mo Kio.

Appeal for information

Now, the next step after rescuing the pigeon is looking for the possible culprit(s).

ACRES have referred the case to NParks for them to investigate further, but they’d also like to have any information of anyone who may be commiting these acts in the area.

To reiterate, the pigeon was found at the lift lobby of Blk 547 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10.

Anyone with relevant information can email acrescrime@gmail.com.

We hope that the culprit will be found and brought to justice. There’s no excuse for animal cruelty or causing not only physical but also psychological harm.
