A Black Weekend For Swiftlet Farmers !!!

I feel very sad that the Forestry Department of Sarawak took drastic action to destroy BHs in Mukah, Sarawak.

They behave as if they are above the law and killing those young birds just seems inhumane.

They gave no notices what so ever and used force to break open those BHs.

This I believe is cruel and those who carry out these acts have very little respect for those wild animals and the BH owners.

There are no rules stipulated that allows them to enter BHs and remove those equipments.

The best that we can do is to be united and make a serious attempt to get the attention from the top.

I hope Dato Beh who was recently appointed to lead the various BHs owners association will provide us with some help.

Perhaps those people from the Veterinary Department can help too.

To those affected I feel sorry that you've been treated unjustly.

I will be loading those photos once I am back in Kuala Lumpur.

Now still in Pontianak, Indonesia.

Tindakan Jabatan Perhutanan Sarawak itu melunturkan semangat bakal pengusaha untuk melibatkan diri dalam industri sarang burung walit di sarawak.

Sekiranya perkara tersebut berulang, ia boleh mengakibatkan populasi burung walit di sarawak akan berkurangan.

diharap persatuan pedagang burung walit malaysia dapat melakukan sesuatu bagi mengelak perkara tersebut berlaku lagi di masa hadapan.

anynomous,

U shud never feel beaten by those Goverment Department people.

U shud find ways how to continue with swiftlet farming.

This is the best business that I called it "God Give".

Those culprits will meet their match very soon, trust me.

U just see what happen when those thugs come to their house and make their whole family life tought.

Just imagine the whole family live in fear of being harrassed by those mafias or thugs who own those BHs.

I can guarantee U that those Forest Department people will have lots of regrets on what they did.

Watch my words and pray hard that the next house the broke into belongs to a thug or mafias.

Hi Harry,

Good to have someone like you who can use good media to communicate with each others. I believed once you posted the pictures on the blogs, the world's relevant NGO will take necessary actions to teach them a hard lessons.
