Pat Yourself On The Back, SMG! However.....?


Just saw a news snippet on the website of KBS World Radio that was a pleasant surprise: the Seoul Metropolitan Government is coming to the rescue of some wild animals by providing them food in this particularly harsh winter.




According to the report,"30 tons of vegetable by-products from wholesale markets and 800 kilograms of grains" will be distributed along eight different habitats along the Han River.



What puzzles me is this: Where on earth are SMG workers themselves going to find food for the critters?

Earlier on, the JoongAng Daily had featured the photo of an empty holding area in the Garak Market in southern Seoul as heavy snowstorms disrupted the supply lines. Prices of food items have skyrocketed in recent days because of the traffic snarls. Great intentions, SMG but can you really walk the talk? Hope YONHAP can feature soon photos of the birds and other animals along the Han River getting some food.
