Thirteen years have passed since the revision to “Prohibitions in Yangmingshan National Park” was announced in Tai-Nei-Ying-Zi Letter No.0910081240 on November 12th, 2002, which was in accordance with Subparagraph 8 of Article 13 of the National Park Act. In response to new behaviors and management issues that have appeared through time, the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) announced on June 25th, 2015 that 6 prohibitions will be revised, and published the revision on the Executive Yuan Gazette to gather opinions of different sectors. The period for receiving opinions will be from June 29th to July 9th, 2015. After the MOI announced the revision, animal protection groups and animal lovers indicated that “prohibiting people from feeding stray cats and dogs is not the solution, and the key is to spay and neuter pets and not abandon them”. Yangmingshan National Park Headquarters indicated that the park is located in Taipei Metropolis with convenient transportation, and is a place for leisure, experiencing natural ecology, and environmental education; the park has called on the public to not abandon their pets, release and feed animals, and works with animal protection units to protect and make arrangements for roaming animals; years of management experience, conservation inspections and research projects also indicate poor results, and feeding wild animals and roaming animals has become a threat to the habitat and reproduction of wild animals in recent years. There were two incidents in 2014, in which the grade 2 protected species civet cat was suspected of going to locations where people fed animals and were killed by stray dogs. Feeding animals will cause roaming animals to gather together and grow in number, further damaging the natural habitat of wild animals. It has also changed the diet and dependency of wild animals. Animals that were found in the national park included dogs, cats, Formosan rock-monkey, red-eared turtle, and crayfish, not only have they impacted the food chain, but also threatened the safety of tourists and become carriers of infectious diseases.
