Tijuana, BC – The 20th Town Council through the Department of Animal Control and the Municipal Department of Health (DMS) made 1,217 pet sterilizations during 2012, representing an increase of more than 50% compared to the previous year.
For the Mayor, Carlos Bustamante Anchondo, the public health problem generated by the proliferation of stray dogs is a concern. Hence the importance of undertaking preventive actions to stop the reproduction of ownerless dogs that roam public roads, said the head of the Department of Municipal Animal Control, Marco Antonio Tapia Miranda.
In order to educate the population about the importance of avoiding the birth of unwanted pets, the municipal Government carried out a day of sterilization each month this year, said the official. On the second Sunday of each month, Department of Municipal Animal Control staff received dogs and cats that underwent surgical intervention to halt their reproduction.
He said up until December 9 this year they sterilized a total of 1,217 pets, which means an increase of more than 50% than the same period in 2011, in which 747 surgeries were practiced. January and July were the months where the most interventions were made - 123 and 139 respectively. The service for the pet owners was only a nominal fee. http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2012/12/10/635266/esterilizan-mas-animales-este-ano-que-en-2011.aspx
