Villar gives anew free castration

For the third time, Senator Cynthia A. Villar gave free castration, spaying and anti-rabies vaccines to pet dogs and cats of residents in Las Piñas and the nearby Bacoor.

Vilar said she wants a continuity of this project to control the increasing number of stray dogs and cats and prevent the spread of rabies, which remains to be a public health problem in the country, accounting for 200 to 300 deaths each year.

"This situation is not a problem only in Las Pinas and Bacoor. In fact, I have talked to Congressmen, congresswomen and mayors, and this is also a problem in their areas. So I have thought of doing this in Las Pinas and Bacoor so we will no longer add to this problem of our country. This is our solution," the senator said.

She likewise cited Republic Act 9482 or Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 which provides that it is the responsibility of pet owners to have anti-rabies shots for their dogs.

More than 150 availed of the program-"Libreng Kapon at Ligate Para sa mga Aso ng Las Pinas/Bacoor" held at Villar Farm School in San Nicolas, Bacoor City recently.

The program is sponsored by the Villar Foundation in partnership with the Philippine Veterinary Drug Association (PVDA), Philippine Veterinary Medical Association and Vets Love Nature.

The pets were also given anti-rabies vaccines.

Pet owners also stressed that this is a big help to them, defraying them of expenses to pay for the procedures.
