Hordes of visitors swamp an area to take photos, causing serious inconvenience to local residents. Do the authorities take action, or do they welcome the influx as good for the economy?
If you are a family of brown barn owls at Kadoorie Farm, the answer is the former. The management of the wildlife facility announce…
Our role is to protect the bird and manage the visitors, and check for visitors that might be using laser pointers or playing owl sounds, all to take a great picture, but at the same time causing great disturbance to the birds.
To protect the birds, unfortunately, we have decided to temporarily close the road and prevent this disturbance to the young Brown Wood Owl and his parents. While we understand that this may cause dissatisfaction to some photographers, we hope that everyone understands that the well-being of the birds comes first, and we appreciate your cooperation.
If you are a human trying to negotiate the streets through your overcrowded Hong Kong tourism hotspot neighbourhood – tough luck. Your well-being is not a consideration.
Last week a “local councillor” for mid-levels was near the escalator crowing about the plan to double tourists numbers to Old Town Central before CNY! When asked by an especially blunt resident where are all these people going to go, he shrugged and answered “扶梯 lah” before turning his attention to his actual constituents – tourists asking for directions to a mural. He ignored a question on how it affected his own living conditions as a resident, but I suspect it doesn’t. They haven’t had to live in their constituencies since 2019
Brown Wood Owls; but yes indeed …
