Number of remaining fertile Male and Female water buffalo in South Lantau by herd
Dear Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department,
I am requesting the data to support the Governments policy of managing the bovine herds in South Lantau, in particular the water buffalo.
To demonstrate the AFCD is effectively managing the herds and not, as is widely believed adopting a covert policy of eradication, please can you provide the following data including the date the data was collected:
Date/ Herd / No of intact males / number of intact females
xx/xx/25 - Mui Wo:- Male: 0, Female: 0
xx/xx/25 - Pui O: Male:0, Female: 0
xx/xx/25 - Shap Long: Male:0, Female: 0
Yours faithfully,
Mr Sargent
