[Animal News]A ginseng, antler and seafood restaurant on Fu Shan Street in Tai Po even covered the outside of its shop with mouse glue in order to prevent other cats from approaching. Tai Po District Councilor Ho Wai-lin recently received help from neighbors, saying that there have been at least 3 cases recently. The cat was infected and its body was completely covered in rat glue. The fur on its body was covered in glue, and its hair was pulled and flung during cleaning. It was also injured as a result. He Weilin pointed out that because there are many free-range cats and street cats in the area, there is a concern that cats or other passing animals may be injured.

He Weilin said that the store is located at No. 9 Fu Shan Street. It is a ginseng, antler and seafood store. The owner of the store and his wife both own cats, but they said that cats from other stores and other cats urinate in front of their door. Therefore, I recently used mouse glue to prevent other cats from approaching.

He Weilin said that many cat lovers and neighbors are very worried and concerned regarding cats and other animals being infected. He Weilin said that cat lovers and him had also talked to him, but the store owner had a tough attitude, saying that it was not illegal to put it in his own place, and that it had nothing to do with putting it in front of his own door. Councilor Ho said: “Even if it is not illegal, it does not mean that it is reasonable. In fact, this behavior does cause harm. It is very inappropriate to use mouse glue in public places, and the other party said that the purpose is to prevent cats. If you do it knowingly, this will It raises questions regarding the motive of animal cruelty.”

He Weilin pointed out that the three cats that were infected all lost their hair and were injured, but fortunately, neighbors rescued them immediately and their lives were not affected. “Fortunately, only one of them was rescued in time, but one of them disappeared following being infected.” He said that if the animal is unfortunately stained with rat glue, the owner or volunteers must remain calm, and then use flour or soybean powder to help remove it, and avoid trapping. Pull the hair or body position forcefully to avoid causing damage to the animal. If necessary, you can also call the AIDS Association for help at 27111000.

Ho Wei-lin believed that the shopkeeper’s act of releasing rat glue would force other animals to be injured. He had reported the situation to the CPCA and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for help, and notified the CPCA of the situation.
