I fully agree with the previous posting and especially with Mike Kilburn's clear statement at the end of the post as to the way forward.

Can we make this HKBWS policy and seek common ground on this with CA, WWF, KFBG and other stakeholders and a subsequent public statement/press release?

Today's SCMP has two good articles with statements from Mike Kilburn and Richard Corlett and the clear message that there is very strong link between releases and HK outbreaks.

Encouraging

Mike T is right to pull up my loose wording - incidents would be better.

For the record I support a permanent ban on all bird trade in Hong Kong except for proven and documented captive-bred individuals and I sincerely hope that HKBWS will take this position.
