Correct understanding of dog protection and housekeeping operations
Dog bite accidents occur all over the country every year. If there is a report from the inhabitants that there is a dog that is released, the Health and Welfare Center and the Animal Protection Center will protect the dog. This work is an important job not only to prevent rabies and dog bite accidents, but also to protect dogs from traffic accidents. Unfortunately, however, employees engaged in these tasks are sometimes criticized or discriminatory statements and responses as if they were doing terrible things. As a result, the staff will be seriously injured. We hope that you understand that this is a task for everyone to live a safe and comfortable life with peace of mind.
