Merchant: I saw at least 10 snakes spread rat glue to catch cyan snakes within two months

Sing Wan Industrial Building in Kwun Tong has been infested by snakes recently. There are snakes in the corridors, rear stairs, rooftops and toilets.

According to the statistics of the merchants, they have seen at least 10 snakes in the past two months. They laid strong adhesive tape for trapping mice on the ground, and they also "killed snakes" in the stairs. Although they successfully caught many snakes about 1 meter long and many lizards alive , but the situation has not improved, and the targets have been directed at the new tenants on the fourth floor. It is suspected that someone runs a "Snake Dou" and raises a large number of live snakes.

The merchant said that he had confronted the person in charge, and the other party denied it

The "Snake Dou" has been locked for a long time, and few people come in and out. The merchant reported it to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, and also called the police for help. However, no further action was taken because no one answered the door. The photo was provided, but the other party denied it, citing the other party as saying, "This type of snake has a few thousand mosquitoes, and it will be released in disorder."

The merchant complained to the management office and was informed that it had followed up through legal channels, but the incident was not resolved.

Mr. Gan, who opened an office near the "Snake Dou", was bitten by a snake in June this year, and he still had lingering fears when he recalled to "Hong Kong 01".

I saw a cyan snake rushing into the bottom of the platform after talking to my colleague in the morning. The snake king, Xiayun, was unable to reach the office. The words might be rolled into a snake cake and not visible, so I asked me to open them one by one and take a look at the table below. , I thought that there should be no worries. When I clicked to open the last folding table, I was stunned and lost. Immediately, Zhang Tai fell to the ground and suppressed the snake, and he returned to his home according to his recollection.

Capture lizard feed for food

Mr. Gan quoted Snake King as saying that the snakes caught at that time were not of local species, and it is estimated that they may have been introduced from other places, while the lizards may have been fed to the snakes. It is believed that some people did not manage them properly, causing the "extraordinary beasts" to crawl around. The owners of the industrial building face up to the problem and investigate the merchants involved.

Tang Jiabiao, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, is concerned about the safety of merchants and is worried that some people are selling animals without a license. He urged the owners and the government to follow up.

Deng Jiabiao: Worry about unlicensed operations and illegal trading

Deng Jiabiao, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that there are retail shops, restaurants, party rooms, etc. in the Shing Yun Industrial Building. The presence of snakes not only affects businesses, but also other citizens. Unlicensed operations and illegal trading, live snakes roaming freely or involving negligence, I hope the relevant departments will follow up to prevent "snake problems" in industrial buildings.

According to Regulation 4(1) of the Public Health (Animals and Birds) (Animal Traders) Regulation, Chapter 139B of the Laws of Hong Kong, any person who wants to carry on a business of selling animals must first obtain a license, and the place where animals are sold shall also be To be licensed, operating without a license is an offence, and upon conviction, is liable to a fine of $100,000 at level 6.
