Dr. Darius P. Mangcucang, Veterinaran I of ProVet, said that among the topics discussed were the proper way of taking care of the pets and the roles of local government in the enforcement of rabies ordinance in their areas.
“Karagdagang kaalaman ito para sa mga pet owner’s, barangay level at LGU para malaman nila kung ano ang kanilang responsibilities lalo na during na magka-conduct tayo ng vaccination sa mga barangay,” said Dr. Mangcucang.
Meanwhile, the ProVet urged the pet owners to have their pet vaccinated in order to prevent rabies infection.
“Patuloy namang hinihikayat ng ProVet ang mga may alagang hayop na pabakunahan laban sa rabies ang kanilang mga alaga upang maiwasan ang pagkalat nito at hindi makapaminsala sa mga taong maaari nitong makagat,” said the provincial government.
Dr. Mangcucang said that there’s one case of rabies infection in Roxas town this year.
“May isang case na rabies noong July ngayong taon sa Roxas, kaya doble ang ginagawa naming kampanya laban sa rabies sa mga munisipyo at hinihiling namin ang cooperation ng LGU at barangay para maging rabies free ang lalawigan. Dahil hindi namin kakayanin kung kami lang,” said Dr. Mangcucang.
