Dr So took the opportunity to appeal to members of the public that they should refrain from consuming endangered species to help conserving these species. If they come across any market stall or restaurant which is suspected of selling endangered species illegally, they should report to the Fauna Conservation Section of the Agriculture and Fisheries Department on 2733 2144.
Subject to their health conditions, the live animals seized in the raids will be released to the wild, or kept in rescue centre, either locally or overseas as appropriate.
