沈桂贤:新条例加强控制养狗执照申请

砂地方政府与房屋部正草拟新地方议会(养狗执照及控制)条例,旨在加强养狗执照的申请管制,以杜绝狂犬病蔓延。 砂地方政府与房屋部长拿督沈桂贤在州议会为其部门进行总结时,如此表示。 他说,有关新条例将很快实行,而地方议会也会加强条例,不允许饮食业者在饮食场所饲养流浪猫狗,并通过设立流浪狗收容所控制流浪狗数量。 他建议有关流浪狗收容所或在古晋,诗巫及美里率先施行。他也表示,数据显示从去年7月1日至今年6月30日,砂州共记录1万3974宗被狗咬案例,其中4153名受害者有接受狂犬病疫苗。同时,其部门还逐户进行疫苗注射,至今已造访7688户住家,并为2836只狗注射疫苗。 他也说,砂政府至今乃花费逾百万令吉应付狂犬病疫情,同时也必须在两年时间内没有出现新狂犬病案例下,砂拉越才能从狂犬病疫区完全被解除。
