Wild dogs seen chasing jogger in Pasir Ris to be trapped and sterilised: AVS

According to Dr. Chang, the program involves” fairly catching” free-ranging dogs and sterilizing them, and work will be made to rehome as many of the sterilized puppies as possible. & nbsp,

He continued,” Those who are unable to be rehomed may be released at appropriate areas, away from home lands, to live out their lives effortlessly.” & nbsp,

More than 3,900 free-ranging dogs have been trapped since the program’s inception in 2018, with more than 60 % effectively rehomed or fostered. & nbsp,

This is the most recent stray dog affair of the year. On September 8, AVS apprehended two dogs and their puppies, who were thought to have killed lots of animals and acted violently toward locals. & nbsp,

AVS finds it difficult to capture wild dogs because they” roam widely, are obscure, and avoid the traps ,” Dr. Chang continued.

In response to people or other animals entering or approaching their territories, dogs may howl, he said of the most recent event, adding that they may also have an innate desire to pursue and catch prey. & nbsp,

But, Dr. Chang noted that this behavior varies in severity and that not all dogs would exhibit these traits. & nbsp,

Although some free-ranging dogs may fight after quickly moving objects, they typically avoid people and are afraid of them. They might even approach people and use their sense of smell to learn more about their environment.

People are advised not to stare and to talk quietly when they come across free-ranging puppies. Additionally, they may leave quietly without making any abrupt movements. & nbsp,

Members of the public may call NParks’ 24-hour Animal Response Center at 1800 476 1600 or call AVS if assistance is required.
