CABARROGUIS, Quirino, March 19 (PIA) -- Provincial veterinarian Marcelino Delson Jr. said their office has launched a more aggressive campaign against rabies following the death of the first rabies victim in the province last month in Barangay Villamor here. | |||
Delson said in the reports of the provincial veterinary office during the past years, there were some dog bites victims but no death was recorded. | |||
“This is the first fatality and as much as possible we do not want other people to be victimized by rabies that is why we are visiting all barangays to conduct mass vaccination of dogs and information and education on the prevention and control of rabies and responsible pet ownership,” Delson stressed. | |||
Delson also said that in their visits in the barangays, they urged each dog owner to have his or her dog vaccinated against rabies and maintain a registration card which contain all vaccinations conducted on their dog for record purposes. | |||
Delson also advised dog owners to be responsible by providing their pets with proper grooming, adequate food, and clean shelter and as much as possible they (pet owners) should not allow their dogs roam the streets without a leash. | |||
H lauded the barangay councils who have enacted local ordinances in support to the National Rabies Prevention Control Program and the regulation of treatment locally known as "tandok.” | |||
‘This is stipulated in the Anti-Rabies Act so we are urging all local government units to come with their own ordinances to ensure strict implementation of the law and to prevent more rabies victims in the future through strict enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act,” Delson further said. | |||
The office is also conducting other activities such as film showing and dog show to further strengthen the anti-rabies campaign. (TCB-PIA 2) | |||
