Hangzhou stray cats to lose their strut
Print Edition
STRAY cats in Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province, will be rounded up and neutered, local authorities said yesterday.
The plan is set to begin in September and will cost the city government about 300,000 yuan (US$48,600).
Chen Xiaoming, head of the city’s animal husbandry and veterinarian bureau, said people can help by trapping the strays and taking them to vets for sterilization. After recovering, the cats will be freed.
The surgery will be free at selected clinics, he said.
According to the local animal protection association, Hangzhou has about 300,000 stray cats. Chen said the government will work with vets and NGO groups to control stray populations and reduce animal diseases.
