Seeking to curb the stray animal population, the Rosewood Foundation Guyana is once again encouraging the public to have their pets spayed or neutered.
Anesa Bird, executive member and Public Relations Coordinator of the organisation, told Sunday Stabroek that the approaching cat mating season has made action call even more imperative. “This is a very important factor in ensuring that we reduce the amount of homeless animals in Guyana. More animals that are fixed, the easier it becomes for us to manage that homeless pet situation,” Bird said.
According to her, animals that are neutered or spayed are less aggressive during mating season, and also less likely to get lost given that animals normally tend to follow other animals they wanted to mate with at this time.
