MAKATI CITY, Oct. 2 (PIA) -- The local government on Sunday observed World Rabies Day and provided pet animals and pet owners with various services and activities to mark the occasion. | |||
According to Dr. Vivien C. Manalastas, City Veterinarian, the celebration started off with a city-sponsored Holy Mass followed by the blessing of pets. | |||
Manalastas said the event was followed by the official introduction of "Bantay," a mascot that promotes responsible pet ownership, to the public. | |||
The city also formally opened "Bantay's World" along Paseo de Roxas that features sponsors’ booths and offers fun and adventure to children and their pets for free. | |||
She said children only need to register at the registration area to obtain their “passports” and enter Bantay’s World. | |||
She said the passports will be stamped in all participating booths visited by the children and their pets. At the end of the adventure, petport authorities will check if the passport has complete stamps, which will give them access to Bantay’s house where they can get their loot bags. | |||
Simultaneously, free pet consultation and anti-rabies vaccination were provided at the Ayala Triangle along Paseo de Roxas. | |||
Likewise, the city government through the Makati Veterinary Services Office (MVSO) conducted a series of activities in the barangays, including free anti-rabies vaccination drive, deworming, consultation, informative talk on Responsible Pet Ownership and Dog Bite Prevention. | |||
Since 2005, the event has been celebrated in various barangays in Makati to push people to be more responsible pet owner, so there will be fewer dogs in the streets maltreated, neglected and prone to animal diseases. | |||
Similarly, World Rabies Day highlights the impact of human and animal rabies and promotes how to prevent and stop the disease by combating it in animals. (RJB/JCP-PIA NCR) | |||
