MANILA - A new city pound and animal clinic will be constructed in the capital to provide better health services and shelter for stray dogs and cats, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said Friday.
The new animal shelter will be built inside a 3,000-square meter compound in Vitas, Tondo where a "modern" slaughter house and a vertical housing community will also be built, Moreno told reporters.
"Bibigyan natin sila ng malinis at maayos na kalalagyan [at] clinic... Kung ano 'yung required para sa mga hayop," he said. Half of these animals are retrieved by their owners while the other half are kept in makeshift cages that are already congested, Diaz told ABS-CBN News. Diaz said the city pound needs to upgrade its clinics as its current equipment could not effectively treat all kinds of canine and feline diseases.
