By The Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services (AH&VS) in Campbell Bay has initiated a focused effort to address the escalating issue of stray cattle and dog populations. This action is part of the ongoing Animal Welfare Fortnight, a nationwide observance aimed at promoting animal welfare, raising awareness about animal rights, and ensuring their overall well-being.
To effectively control the growing menace of stray animals, the department has organized a mass castration campaign. This initiative resulted in the successful castration of 5 bulls and 4 dogs. According to a press release from the department, the castration process is a critical step in managing the unchecked increase in stray animal numbers, contributing to public health, safety, and the humane treatment of animals.
The campaign aligns with the overarching goals of Animal Welfare Fortnight, which emphasizes the ethical treatment of animals and promotes long-term solutions for managing stray populations. Through such initiatives, the department strives to create a more animal-friendly environment while raising awareness about the importance of responsible pet ownership and animal management.
This mass castration initiative marks a significant step in improving the lives of both animals and the local community in Campbell Bay.
