SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) is appealing for information after a video showing a group of men allegedly beating and subsequently killing a snake in Boon Lay was shared on social media.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday , Acres said it received the video from a member of the public the night before. It showed a group using crates to allegedly hit a reticulated python at Boon Lay Place Market and Food Village.
Acres said it has submitted all the relevant information to the National Parks Board , who is investigating the incident further, and The Straits Times has contacted the authority for more information. “The sad reality is that we often see this happening to reptiles, because they’re perceived to be scarier, and I think there needs to be greater deterrence to prevent such things from reoccurring,” she said.
In its appeal, Acres urged witnesses or those who recognised the people seen in the video to reach out either through its 24-hour hotline at 97387782, or its e-mail address at acrescrime@gmail.com
