Yangmingshan Park to appeal fine over deaths of buffaloesBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterThe Yangmingshan National Park Service on Wednesday said it would appeal a NT$75,000 fine from the Taipei City Animal Protection Office, which accused the park of causing the deaths of water buffaloes by corralling them with fences. In the past few months, 24 dead water buffaloes have been found in Yangmingshan (陽明山), the office said. Water buffaloes walk in Yangmingshan National Park in Taipei on Wednesday. The park service said that there has yet to be a determination on which agency would be responsible for the water buffaloes. In that scenario, the park service could manage them as part of natural resources in the park, the council said.
