THE number of rabies cases in Cebu City has increased by around 50 percent, a health official said Tuesday, July 2, 2024.Cebu City Veterinarian Dr. Alice Utlang said in a news forum Tuesday that from the seven cases reported in June 2023, there were 13 cases reported in June 2024.She called for public responsibility in terms of animal ownership and said one of the primary causes of the spike was the failure to reach the target of 80 percent canine vaccination in the barangays of Cebu City.
Taas gani impounding, mosaka sad ang atoang cases,” she said.She added that under her administration, impounding has been stopped, except for those dogs that are truly dire in appearance and who are usually victims of animal abuse.Utlang also stressed that “part of rabies control is population control.” One of the measures to address such is a spay-and-neuter drive, which is scheduled on October 10-12, 2024 and to be hosted by Biyaya Animal Care as part of its pay-it-forward initiative.
