The Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries (DVMF) said these animal welfare desks will be put up in 14 police stations and substations under the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) to ensure that cases of animal abuse will be given priority.
CEBU CITY – Animal welfare desks will soon be established in all police stations here.
Dr. Jessica Maribojoc, chief of the DVMF, said police personnel who will man the desks have been training since November last year. Maribojoc said the public should know that animal abuse is punishable under the Animal Welfare Act of 1998. Maribojoc warned that the DVMF is serious in its campaign against animal abuse. She said that last year, a resident was fined P30,000 for abandoning five dogs.
