Comment on Greater Mouse Deer rediscovered on Pulau Ubin after 80 years by marcuschua

Hi brabo, from some sources, the population status of the greater mouse deer was (or is still) listed as being near threatened. This is because of the loss of their forest habitat in this part of the world and people hunting them for food.

In my opinion, the continued consumption of these species on the brink of being threatened may just push them over to the other side. These days, every one can do their part in protecting nature. If you like a nice juicy meal, why not stick to the many food choices that are responsibly farmed?

Yay finally the space outside is being put to better use than just to dry my dirty socks. Just install a bar, some alcohol and we’re all set.

I really like to eat Greater Malay Mouse Deer (Tragulus napu) so much, taste is nice. juicy. I ate this animal so many times before. From the point of you it’s ethical or not to consume it?

Well done Dr. Lum. I believe he sneaked in a veiled swipe at the whole Life Sciences thing with that last paragraph.

As a lover of biology, I am heartened, but wonder how many people would dare to jump into this bandwagon after the failure which is Life Sciences.

I guess we would have to see.
