A two-day community dog sterilization camp has been organized in Bhairahawa from Sunday to reduce the outbreak of rabies and control stray dogs.
The camp was organized by the Veterinary Hospital and Veterinary Service Center Rupandehi. The center has signed an agreement with Horizon Veterinary in Nepalgunj to sterilize dogs. It is said that 135 community dogs will be sterilized in the camp.
Dr. Parvez Alam, head of the Veterinary Hospital and Veterinary Service Center Rupandehi, said that to control the spread of rabies and the terror of stray dogs, such dogs are sterilized and vaccinated against rabies.
According to him, the only effective way to make the global campaign to reduce the rate of rabies from dogs to zero by 2030 successful is to sterilize dogs and administer the rabies vaccine. The Animal Welfare Directive, 2073 has made provision for not allowing any dog to be killed.
Director General of the Animal Husbandry Directorate Lumbini Province, Shravan Kumar Chaudhary, said that a sterilization camp has been set up to control stray dogs as stray dogs bite humans and animals, causing great harm.
According to him, about 5 million rupees are spent annually on sterilization and rabies vaccination of community dogs in 12 districts of Lumbini Province. Last year, more than 50 cows and buffaloes died after being bitten by rabies-infected community dogs in Lumbini Province.
About 15 people, including doctors, have been mobilized to control stray dogs found in public places, sterilize them, take them to the same place where they were controlled, and release them. A small cut is also made in the ears of sterilized dogs and leave a sign.
