Animal feed shortages in breeding stations reaches critical level due to budget cuts

[webfact]

 

Substantial budget cuts, especially for animal feed, has raised serious concern that many animals in breeding stations, operated by the Wildlife Conservation Office, will be left to starve, said President of conservationist Seub Nakhasathien Foundation Sasin Chalermlarp.

 

Although the budget for the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, for the 2023 fiscal year, has not been cut substantially, the budget for the Wildlife Conservation Office has been reduced to 241 million baht this year, compared to more than 700 million baht three years ago.

 

Sasin claimed that food shortages at some breeding stations have reached a critical level, adding that “there is barely any money to buy food for tigers, hundreds of monkeys and deer in breeding stations.”

You demonstrate your shoot first ask questions later attitude again. Close them.. then as an afterthought... what are they used for. So you would close something without knowing what its used for ? 

 

They are to breed animals to put in the wild in the nature parks. To keep these populated as there are poachers and life is hard. Id say its useful,  unless of course the nature parks are over populated.

Breeding stations used to re-stock the wilderness.... pure fantasy.
Tigers in particular, please explain to me how a captive bred tiger is released into the wild after being fed & pampered for a couple of years?

It wouldn't survive one month in the wild.

Deer would survive quite happily on their own if left to manage themselves, they have no problem breeding.

You jest.

Im not jesting i use research, not a bar stool.

 

Though your opinion about tigers and captive breeding could be right, some species are harder to breed and release but it has proven to be viable if done right.

Which it certainly isn't in Thailand... remember the tiger temple?

Pure tourism revenue, same goes for a lot of other breeding programmes in Thailand...
As for your URL that may well happen in other countries where strict regulations apply.... but in LOS ????

"Breeding stations"...why are there breeding stations? Just leave nature to sort these things out and don't violate the Prime Directive.
