The incident occurred at about 7 pm this evening. The police received a report from a resident of Fu Hang Village, Tai Po, stating that when they were walking outside of Hang Yiu House, they found multiple dead pigeons on the site.

District Councillor He Weilin visited the scene today to understand that he was notified by residents in the evening that several pigeon carcasses were found in the open space and parking lot off Hang Yiu Building. The police and the Love Association officers came to deal with them. In addition to the pigeon carcasses, they were also found. Nearly 10 pigeons were dying and were taken over and managed by the Love Association.
He Weilin also stated that there were no scars on the pigeon's carcass, and there were also white pigeons in the vicinity of the scene. They were suspected of being poisoned by others. It is expected that investigators will dissect the pigeon's carcass and conduct tests to find out the cause of death.
He Weilin said that in the past, some residents were used to feeding wild pigeons on the hillsides of the housing estate. Therefore, wild pigeons gathered in the village from time to time. It is suspected that this caused dissatisfaction. In the past, there have been no incidents of pigeon abuse in the village.
