Set up fund for animal welfare: YB

Kota Kinabalu: Kapayan Assemblywoman, Jannie Lasimbang,  urged the government to set up a fund for the welfare of animals in view of the increasing number of strays and abandoned animals in Sabah.

“The Covid-19 outbreak has affected us all but animals may have been victims too. The saddest part especially during this Covid-19 pandemic is that many abandoned dogs and cats do not have shelter nor food. Besides that, animal abuse cases still exist so animals should be protected,” she said in a statement, here, Monday.
