圖：昨日3月4日漁護署擬在大澳遷牛的行動
漁農自然護理署（簡稱 漁護署）繼去年秘密強行調遷50頭大嶼及西貢牛隻後，事件倘未得己解決之時，今日再闖大澳藉詞收到「公眾投訴病牛」，企圖偷運大嶼牛隻離開！但是當LBA詢問牛隊其中領導獸醫Dr Patrick Lau 有關行動時, 他卻聲稱他們上星期與離島區議會開會，並被區議會要求為所有大嶼牛隻絕育（意味將所有大嶼牛羣有步驟地從大嶼絕跡），LBA問獸醫為何不徵求島上關注團體有關署方取向時，劉獸醫只重申政府有權為牛隻進行絶育。
雖然今日漁記行動己被成功阻截，但並不表示他們不會再來。現時島上黃牛羣己佔80%被絶育，本會去年己要求漁護署牛隊在進一步新一輪絕育行動前，須先進行絕育對牛羣的影響評估研究，以檢討牛羣進一步管理方針，但新獸醫上場後，只二話不說，在親自承認署方管理機制是有問題的同時，一面倒進行㓕絕牛羣行動!
AFCD was found in TAI O in attempt of take away the entire herd 14:20 today. One vet in the crew , Dr Angus replied to one of our cow watcher query that they were on duty responding to 'a public report of sick cow', and were there to collect the cow for health check up. Local cow watcher reported to LBA in regarding this unknown AFCD exercise. So I called to Dr. Patrick Lau , leading vet of the team query why cattle team was on Lantau without serving LBA a notice.
Dr. Lau said, AFCD had a meeting with Island District Council last week ,and was requested to 'ear-tag' all cows (did not stress all cow in Tai O , or all Lantau cows) . 'Ear-tag' in AFCD, meant desex cow. LBA disagreed with such requested immediately , as there are already more than 80% of the Lantau cows are already desexed. Any further desexing the animal will lead to extinct the animal in a short time. I asked him why such demand exist but AFCD did not consult local cattle concern groups before the action. Dr. Lau only re-emphasized that AFCD has right to desex the animal without explaining why and how the decision was made.
Please note that LBA already requested AFCD last year to suspended desexing practice and that Government should proceed the castration impact study for each herd before new round of desexing the animal.
We thanks to all members in the community for the immediate support to protect our local animal today. We managed to call off the AFCD action in time before they took away the animal.
