Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

SAV Comment:

Maybe Serbia and other Balkans states need to learn from this.

From the article:  “He said the project helped to contain the number of stray cats and the
spread of animal diseases”.

Their words, not ours – but anything which helps to contain the numbers of stray animals and also contain the spreading of animal disease is surely a good thing.

Serbian government, it is over to you to learn from this – AND TO ACT !!!!

More than 30,000 Stray Cats Sterilized in Beijing

More than 30,000 stray cats have been sterilized in Beijing in a
government-backed NGO project since July 2006, an official said Saturday.

More than 100 animal hospitals and clinics have joined the Trap Neuter
Return (TNR) project, providing more than 1,000 quotas every month for free
sterilization, said Wei Haitao, veterinary chief of the city’s agriculture
bureau.

“NGOs can take stray cats to designated animal hospitals for free
sterilization and then return them to streets,” said Louis Liu, president of
Beijing Small Animal Veterinary Association, sponsor of the project.

The 11 members of NGO New Beautiful World (NBW) helped to sterilize 1,700
cats in 2009.

“Sterilization is important for the well-being of stray cats. My friends and
I just found 10 stray cats to be sterilized in the Palace Museum this
morning,” said NBW volunteer Yao Yao.

The number of stray cats has been increasing rapidly in Beijing as stray
cats are better-fed and more domestic cats are being abandoned by relocated
families, Wei said.

The wandering cats are threatening squirrels, birds and small animals, Wei
added.

He said the project helped to contain the number of stray cats and the
spread of animal diseases.
