Inhuman Act On Proboscis

AS A CONCERNED citizen related to cruelty to animals, and wild creatures of Borneo, I read with dismay and absolutely disapproved the manner in which a wild proboscis monkey was treated in an ‘inhuman’ way by way of tagging the wild creature with a clumsy satellite tag tied around its neck for experimental and monitoring the movement of this animal in the wild, while disregarding the natural habits and freedom of movement in its natural habitat.

This is tantamount to ‘cruelty to animals’, including that of the wild animals in the jungles. This poor creature would have to live for the rest of its natural life being tagged around its neck like a prisoner without the proper natural freedom in its movement.

This would affect the animal in many ways.

What the department for wildlife and the management of Danua Girang field centre should have done was to fit an alternative micro chip or, tiny electromagnetic device instead of the clumsy, uncomfortable satellite tag (see picture) around its neck region that could hurt the proboscis monkey and affect its natural movement in its natural habitat.

  4. rasanya alat yang diletakkan di leher monyet tu bagi tujuan eksperimen akan mengganggu pergerakan monyet tu. lebih baik gunakan alat yang bersaiz lebih kecil dan ringan.

  8. Mungkin juga itu untuk kajian. Tapi agak-agaklah barang yang diletak dileher itu. Mesti monyek ini tidak selesa.

  16. Gunalah microchip yang tidak akan menjadi gangguan terhadap pengerakan monyet tersebut.

  17. mereka tidak akan sewenang2nya meletakkan beban kepada haiwan kajian mereka. penggunaan alatan itu tentunya telah melalui proses pertimbangan sebelum digunakan.. malah mereka lebih tahu bidang kerja mereka berbanding dengan ahli2 politik..

  18. Cadangan kegunaan microchip boleh dipertimbangkan.
