Bacolod City Anti-Rabies campaign yields 1,271 stray dogs

     The city's campaign against rabid stray-dogs resulted to the capture 1,271 since January-June 2005. Bacolod City Veterinarian Dr. Adelo P. Daroy said of the 1,271 captured 1029 were terminated, 239 claimed by their owners while 2 were adopted. This accomplishment was realized in consonance to the ongoing anti-rabies campaign of Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia.
     According to Daroy, each owner of the impounded stray-dog will have to pay P40/day for the board and lodging. P50 in vaccination fee in case the impounded dog is not immunized and P10 for registration fee. The city earned a total revenue of 22,140 from these penalties since January-June.
     The Office of the City Veterinarian teamed-up with the City Health staff to augment manpower in the vaccination drive and capturing of stray-dogs in the city. (CMO-PIO/)
