From 25/5/08 to 13/7/08
本來我的一生日記是這樣記載着的：
我出生於一個四面環海，風景優美的小島，四處資源豐富，生活無憂。
My diary should have been written like this:
I was born at a beautiful small island amid bountiful waters, and life was easy.
孩提時候，也喜歡到處亂跑，雖然偶而會與母父有些爭拗，但總算生活融洽。
When I was young, I enjoy running around. I lived happily with my parents, although there were differences in opinions at times.
小小年紀，我已渴望可以像父母一樣，到處飛翔，尋覓食物，自力更生，
Still a teenager, I already dreamt of travelling around and be independent like my parents.
所以，每天我都很努力學習飛行。
so I tried hard to master flying.
長大後，總於夢想達成，每天都很快樂地萬里遨翔
My dream finally came true - I could now roam the great skies everyday.
有時也會調皮一番，生活絕不枯燥
And there's time for some fun too - life was never boring.
也開始對異性好奇起來，對於美麗的小姑娘，我是相當闊綽，窮追不捨
Then I became interested in the opposite sex, chasing relentlessly after pretty girls and making generous offers.
幸運地給我找到另一半，每天最愛與她共舞
Luckily I found my better half. I enjoyed dancing with her all day.
在一個明媚的早上，她答應我的求婚，我們終於共偕連理
I got her word in a wonderful moring - we became a family.
婚後不久，太太夢熊有兆，見到腹大便便的她，想到不久將來的孩子，覺得自己的一生是最完美的......
Good news came shortly afterwards. On seeing the growing baby in her, I couldn't stop admiring my perfect life.
可惜，一對無情及無聊的手，把以上種種全部摧毀，美好的一生完全幻滅！
Alas! All the hopes and promises of a wonderful life ended miserably in a pair of callous mindless hands.
容我說多一遍，請不要摧毀我一生
Allow me to say again - please don't destroy my life.

Wonderful wildlife record!
Terns are among the few birds that allow people to make prolonged observations.
As long as we don't disturb them, they would let you peep into their daily lives.
Sadly, this is not valued by some people, who ruined their families for nothing. Author: Sze Time: 25/07/2008 23:41
Certainly support to make some of the breeding Islands become a temporary closed area during the breeding season.
Let's think about under what situation will the Government decide to agree to close certain areas in the name of wildlife protection. We understand that every place has its unique situation.
How about Yim Tso Ha Egretry, the island is closed during the breeding for egrets.
According to the other post, the society has urged and proposed to AFCD that the Island(s) be closed during breeding season since 2003, the proposal has been declined.
Can we study the reasons behind the rejection?
Was it because of not providing strong enough statistical info to support for the proposal?
Query 1)
The government will not make a law that is unenforceable.
“Unenforceable” laws is not an valid excuse.
A lot of things are against the law from serious criminal offences to jay-walking and littering, some of these offences are easier to punish than others, but that doesn't mean that the government should not bother legislating when enforcement might be difficult. There is a question of principle involved.
If some aspect of human behaviour is wrong the government should legislate against it.
Query 2)
Although the breeding terns might use different Islands each year. How hard can it be to enforce a temporary closure of some of the islands?
Someone in uniform can request or order people who land on the "closed island" to leave. Putting a sign on the "closed islands". These are all practical measures.
Although amended the law may not stop the disturbance completely, but it would send out a clear signal that disturbing terns breeding is not acceptable behaviour.
Respecting and protecting the wildlife and keeping a hygienic environment are both important aspects of Civil education. To let the breeding Terns have an undisturbed environment is not just to fulfil the desires of wild bird lovers. Terns are one of the nature treasure of Hong Kong, we are lucky to have to some species of terns to breed here.
We claim to be an international city with a good law system to be proud of. We believe that there should always be room in an international city to co-exist with these wonders of nature.
Can we spare them a few rocky islands to breed in peace?
