By Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterAnimal rights advocates yesterday called on the government to establish an “animal protection police” and review the adoption process at public animal shelters, after 20 dogs were adopted by a man and allegedly slaughtered for meat.The advocates held a blessing for the dogs in front of the Ministry of the Interior building on Jinan Road in Taipei.Event organizer Chang Yu-jung （張育榕） said the dogs were adopted by a man surnamed Chiu （邱） from three public animal shelters in Miaoli and Hsinchu counties, and Hsinchu City.Chang, a painter who produces dog portraits to promote their adoption, said she began to suspect that the dogs might have been killed after seeing photos uploaded by another animal lover on Facebook last month, which showed a man placing traps to capture stray dogs in Miaoli County.“Chiu said the 20 dogs were already dead and had been dumped in the sewers,” Chang said, adding that she contacted him after recognizing him in the photographs as someone who had also visited Hsinchu City’s public animal shelter where she worked as a volunteer.Local residents alleged that Chiu had been killing dogs to trade their meat, she said.After she told the Hsinchu City animal shelter what had happened it contacted the other two shelters, and found that Chiu had adopted 10 dogs from Miaoli’s shelter and four from Hsinchu County’s shelter, as well as six from Hsinchu City’s shelter from Jan. 26 to Feb. 13, Chang said.The Hsinchu Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office on March 17 said in a statement that the six dogs were already dead when they visited Chiu’s home.Chiu and his nephew were indicted by the Miaoli District Prosecutors’ Office in terms of Article 5 of the Animal Protection Act （動物保護法） and might face a sentence of up to two years or a fine of between NT$200,000 and NT$2 million （US$6,749 and US$67,485）, the office said.The Council of Agriculture’s Animal Protection section chief Jiang Wen-chuan （江文全）, who also attended yesterday’s event, said that after the incident, the council has implemented a function on the public shelters’ online system that provides a list of animals adopted by an applicant when their identification number is keyed in.The council would also urge shelter officials to regularly check the condition of animals after they are adopted, he said.新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES

軍人年改案上周付委，立法院今（25）日召開「陸海空軍軍官士官服役條文修正草案」公聽會，反軍人年改團體「八百壯士」成員受邀與會發表意見。網路流傳「八百壯士決戰圍城計畫表」，對此，陸軍官校專科七期代表，兼八百壯士執行長羅睿達否認，表示這是響應抗議的退伍軍人團體前來陳抗，團體數目高達 127 個。

行政院日前拍板通過「陸海空軍軍官士官服役條例」修正草案，軍人年改樓地板 3 萬 8990 元，服役滿 20 年起支俸率 55%、年增率 2%，預計 7 月 1 日與公教同步實施，立法院上周已一讀付委，今日先舉行公聽會，明日將開始審查程序。

公聽會由藍綠營推薦學者、專家和團體代表，綠營推薦八百壯士以及其他專家，藍營則全數推薦八百壯士代表，包括黃冬輝、謝健虎、盛澤仁、王忠義、賀新民。

羅睿達指出，八百壯士一貫主張在守法與維護安全原則內表達訴求，並希望政府能正視、傾聽退伍軍人的憤怒情緒和意見。

據外傳的「八百壯士決戰圍城計畫表」，此次抗議自上午 8 點在立法院群賢樓外集結，預計達 500 人以上。同時號召萬人兵分 8 路，以分散警力，活動不排除持續至晚間，屆時若有機會將佔領立法院，除了引起國人注意電腦椅推薦mobile01,電腦椅推薦ptt,電腦椅推薦便宜,電腦椅評價,辦公椅推薦mobile01,辦公椅推薦ptt 外，更想癱瘓周五立法院院會阻撓進行。

台北市立動物園的馬來膜家族再添生力軍。今年動物園多了一隻從捷克布拉格動物園遠道而來的2歲半雄性馬來貘「貘克」，加入域外保種的大家庭，未來將與園內的雌性個體「貘芳」配對，期望為瀕臨絕種的馬來貘，增添域外安全族群的生力軍。4月27日為全球動物園界共同參與的「世界貘日(World Tapir Day)」，關注近年由於關鍵棲息地內的人為開發及棲息地的持續縮減，全球僅存的5種貘，包括山貘、馬來貘、中美貘、南美貘、卡波馬尼貘，如今都被IUCN列為瀕危(ENDANGERED)的物種。.inline-ad { position: relative; overflow: hidden; box-sizing: border-box; }

.innity-apps-reset { padding: 20px 0 0 !important; margin: -20px auto -10px !important; } 為推動馬來貘域外族群及其基因多樣性的保存，台北市立動物園經過多年努力，今年3月終於順利從捷克布拉格動物園引進「貘克」，將與「貘芳」配對，期望儘速能有新生兒加入。「貘克」年輕、活動力旺盛，時常在活動場爬上爬下，甚至把放在高處的牧草全推下來，讓保育員是又好氣又好笑。在食譜方面，由歐洲來的「貘克」也要入境隨俗，保育員替牠增添不少本地的蔬果，如地瓜葉、構樹葉、桑葉、木瓜等，雖然牠偶有挑食的情形出現，但仍適應得很不錯。近期保育員開始讓「貘克」接受減敏、親近訓練，從最溫和的默默站在角落看牠吃飯，一步步進階到可以幫牠刷刷背、刷刷頭、讓牠躺下等，花費約1個月的時間逐漸建立信任，盼未來有機會不用透過麻醉就可完成醫療行為，訓練完成將在熱帶雨林館與大家見面。今年動物園多了一隻從捷克布拉格動物園遠道而來的2歲半雄性馬來貘「貘克」。圖／台北市立動物園提供 分享 facebook 台北市立動物園的馬來膜家族再添生力軍。圖／台北市立動物園提供 分享 facebook
