JB can spearhead stray animal welfare issue

Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) has of late come under intense scrutiny about the way its enforcement officers catch and house stray dogs.

Dog lovers and non-governmental organisations (NGO) raised an array of issues, including the intensified catching of the animals, overcrowding in the MBJB dog pound and private contractors engaged by the city council catching strays at night.
