 Issues/Concerns
 Difficulty of dog owners on bringing dogs to vaccination
centers
- Dogs are not used to leashing
- Dogs are difficult to restrain (not all members of the household are involved in
handling the dogs kept)
 Dog owners are not attentive to schedules of vaccination (with
all the alibis)
 Weak implementation of Rabies Law to sanction dog owners
particularly on Dog leashing
 Dog owners who usually object/refuse to comply the Rabies
Law particularly on registration fees/penalties are those who are
ignorant of the Law
- Absent during meeting/assembly when Rabies Laws were discussed
- Just refused to understand (hard-headed)
 THAT’S ALL
