The Life Conservationist Association stated that the current commercialized "release of animals" not only causes ecological damage but also results in a low survival rate for the released animals, essentially equating to "releasing them to die." They suggest that religious groups should redirect the funds used for releasing animals towards conservation efforts.
Venerable Shih Chao-hui from the Life Conservationist Association said that the current practice of "releasing animals" is actually "releasing them to die." It's akin to the government deploying military and police to imprison a large number of innocent people, and then the president declaring a pardon to showcase benevolent governance. The Life Conservationist Association pointed out that releasing animals has become a commercialized activity.
The Life Conservationist Association recommends that groups involved in releasing animals should replace the concept of releasing with the concept of protecting life, and redirect the funds used for releasing animals towards conservation work. Additionally, large-scale release activities should apply to environmental protection units or be conducted after assessing the ecological environment and the survival rate of the animals. Chen Ru-min, director of the Taiwan Animal Society Research Office, also said that to protect life, we should first reduce human interference, and therefore, releasing animals should not be done.
In response, the Forestry Bureau of the Council of Agriculture stated that all sectors should promote the truth about "releasing animals." The Forestry Bureau has also produced a promotional video titled "Releasing Animals or Releasing Them to Die" and will strengthen its promotion efforts.
