SPCA calls for public to report stray dog sightings in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Yio Chu Kang
This follows the dog attacks on multiple community cats in recent months.
Members of the public can now report sightings of stray dogs in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Yio Chu Kang through a form set up by the Cat Welfare Society. The form was shared by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) on its Instagram page on Sunday (Jan 29).
This follows the recent alleged dog attacks in the Ang Mo Kio, Seletar and Hougang area which resulted in the deaths of around 20 stray cats.
According to SPCA, the documentation of these sightings will allow for the authorities to “gather more data to help” the community dogs and cats.
The form includes questions to ascertain the location, timing and frequency of the sightings, distinctive features of the dogs, details of cats affected, and any other useful information for the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS).
