She said that a meeting between DBKK, dog lovers and non-governmental organisations on June 14 had discussed these matters. It was previously reported that DBKK and stakeholders at the meeting had agreed on several proposals to better deal with the issue of stray dogs around the city. On putting captured stray dogs to sleep, Noorliza said they had yet to implement such measures on any canine they caught, although the law provides for such a so- lution to control the stray dog population. “I have told my staff to put up adoption advertisements and we will only put them to sleep if no one comes to claim the dogs. “So far, we have not put any (dogs) to sleep but if concerned citizens say they don’t want this, then come to us and adopt the dogs,” Noorliza said.
