MELAKA: The Melaka government has started looking into proposals from animal rights groups for a humane approach in the management of strays in the state, says Datuk Rais Yasin.
The Melaka Housing and Local Government, Climate Change and Disaster Management Committee chairman said the state government is studying various proposals submitted by animal welfare organisations with regards to managing the street animal population.
"Presently, we have received solid proposals on how to care for the stray dog population and we are waiting for the same suggestions on feral cats," he added after launching a National Day programme at a supermarket dedicated to cats at Taman Paya Rumput here on Monday . Rais said the state government is serious in taking care of the welfare of the strays and encouraged proper handling of these homeless animals, especially dogs.
Rais said he was also impressed with the Cat Supermarket which is the largest in the country and has a pharmacy for felines.Separately, Rais said the decision of turning the 2.4km stretch in Bandar Hilir, which was a tourist destination, into a vehicle-free zone on Saturdays had elicited positive feedback from various quarters.
