Open day at Animal Control Centre

THE OPERATIONS of the Animal Control Centre and the dogs it has available for adoption were on show for the public when the centre held its open day today.

Assistant control officer Kerwin Farley spoke out against the practise of “dog dumping” and called on owners to take their animals to the humane societies across the island rather than letting them go into other people’s neighbourhoods.

Farley said the Centre had seen its fair share of dogs being abandoned and some mornings, workers arrived to see dogs tied to the gate, some in terrible physical condition. (LK)
