Strictly speaking, releasing animal or fang sheng is equal to abandoning them. There was a ST article on Vesak Day, about the Nature Society's volunteers who station around nature reserve, reservoirs to persuade ppl not to realease animals like terrapin or birds. Cos these animals that are released in the nature are not able to survive and it disturb the nature of the environment. Some devotees do listen, but some devotees will move to another corner, out of the sight of the volunteer, then release the animals. Temple like Kong Meng San also held exhibition to educate devotee not to release the animals. If you have been to KMS, you look at their pond, and you see more terrapins than the pond water. I really wonder how they survive in the filthy water. Filthy becos the terrapins' waste will be inside the water also. To know more about wildlife law, go to www.nss.org.sg/ then click on the "Know Your Wild Life Law" on the top right hand corner. The reason why some ppl release their terrapin after keeping almost 20 years, I think is becos, they grew too big. And they think they will live better in big pond.
