Melaka exco man warns against turning migratory birds into pets or dishes

MELAKA: Migratory birds are not meant to be pets or end up in aphrodisiac dishes, and the Melaka government will not tolerate attempts to capture them, says a state exco member.

Agriculture, agro-based, entrepreneur development and cooperative committee chairman Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee said the state government would do its best to protect these species even if they are not on the endangered list.
