Excerpts:
The neutering programme, in collaboration with the Social Heroes Foundation and veterinary clinics, will take place on Oct 29 and 30, with more sessions planned for the future.
It will cost RM250 per dog, including vaccinations, post-surgery care, and flea treatment.
“This is a more humane, sustainable, and professional approach to managing the stray dog population,” he added.
The MoU also focused on raising public awareness about the importance of neutering through health programmes aimed at controlling the stray dog population in the council’s jurisdiction.
The programme will encourage the public to neuter both stray and pet dogs at a reasonable cost, and will also adopt a ‘Trap, Neuter, and Rehome’ (TNR) approach.
