United Buddhist Commission for Poultry Refugees
After three days of meditation, I have finally decided to launch UBCPR - United Buddhist Commission for Poultry Refugees. According to this idea, New Territories' villagers and I will today register the non-profit organization, UBCPR.
Based upon the guidelines of UNHCR - United High Commission for Refugees, our new association will provide sanctuary to all birds that are terrorized by the recent government law that bans all poultry raised as pets.
The registered address of our organization will be the public park on Lantau Island, right under the watchful eyes of Big Buddha. This is where we will register your pet chicken, pigeon, duck, etc. And once your pet poultry is a registered UBCPR refugee, we will try to protect its life from slaughtering hands.
Hong Kong is prominently a Buddhist place, and we will not allow a Catholic chief executive to insult the non-violence principle of our dharma. Since religious groups around the world are protesting and protecting their religious rights, we too will protest and protect our Buddhist poultry as per the law of our religion: Every life form has a right to live!
Don't release your poultry pets into the wild, but bring them to UBCPR.
Peace.

you are insane.
You trying to tickle me right?
Brother Hua, I am not tickling you. I think this plan is right.
Since long Buddhists have tolerated and kept quiet. But recent lessons learned from others around the world have encouraged me to consider extreme solutions. And extremist or not, UBCPR will still operate on the basic foundation of non-violence.
The government could have vaccinated the pet poultry, rather than seizing it from the owners. And why does Hong Kong government still allow you to have a pet chicken or pigeon if you pay HK$10,000 for one year's special pet license?
Even the annual registration fee of a high-end 3,000 c.c. Mercedes Benz does not cost HK$10,000.
Vaccinating the pet poultry and forcing the owners to pay HK$80 (the current license fee for dogs and cats) or HK$100 per year per chicken, pigeon, etc., would have been acceptable.
I am not into politics, brother Nude King is. And brother Nude King tells me that this poultry plan, along with the plan for a central slaughterhouse, has been brewing since 1997 - after the emergence of bird flu in Hong Kong. And is the idea of one or two prominent tycoons in Hong Kong who want to capture the poultry market among their other various basic necessity services.
Which is why the HK$10,000 annual license fee for pet poultry? They want to ensure that no poultry farm, other than those run by the government with the aid of tycoons, can survive beyond 2009 in Hong Kong. Read the latest news where HK government is thinking of inviting *private parties* in its central slaughterhouse plan.
And UBCPR, effectively, is against these tyrants and tycoons of Hong Kong.
No chicken, pigeon, etc., should die before its time has come.
Peace.
Try another way, tell your government by destroying non-mainstream, commercially produced poultry, the authorities are destroying bio diversity, and reduces the gene pool among the poultry.
This will result in highly incestous relationships among future poultry, and result in genetic defects. Future outbreaks will also affect more poultry, due to more poultry now sharing the same genetic pool.
The authorities are committing genocide. And worse, by their actions, instituting mass infection in the future.
