Middle of this week a half a dozen or so water buffalo at Pui O, South Lantau were rounded up, immobilised with tranquiliser darts, and had their legs tied together. The water buffalo were then lifted onto a lorry, after which the lorry took off for parts unknown. It is believed the water buffalo are to be turned into pet food and glue.
The "cull", for that is how it is explained, was all done officially. Apparently, the herd has too many buffalo. Oh, yeah?
Some at Pui O would like to get rid of all the water buffalo. Fortunately, there are more enlightened spirits who are determined to save these amiable animals: Lantau Buffalo Association
Lots of locals and visitors love the water buffalo, too. Check out Google blog search: water buffalo Lantau
