Stray dog / cat forum Beijing

[Guest guest]

On Saturday 08 May, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) China

and the China Animal Protection media salon co-sponsored a workshop on

Humane, Scientific and Sustainable Rescue of Stray Animals. The workshop was

to give the Beijing authorities, including Beijing General Veterinary

Station (cat management authority) and Beijing Police Department (dog

ownership and rabies management authority), a platform to demonstrate their

progress in dog/cat ownership management in the past few years in

collaboration with IFAW and other local organizations. The workshop also

aimed to alarm the authorities that in Beijing¡¯s World City initiative,

government agencies need to adopt preventative measures to reduce of the

number of abandoned animals in the demolished areas and to seek humane and

sustainable solutions.
