Understanding Pets!... Geumcheon-gu Operates Pet Culture Classes

Operation of Pet Culture Classes Every Tuesday and Thursday from November 10 to December 17... Veterinarians from Geumcheon-gu Veterinary Association Lecturing on 'Disease Management', 'Adoption Information', and 'Veterinary Medicine'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] In the era of "10 million companion animals,"

conflicts between non-pet owners and pet owners who ignore basic rules, safety issues such as dog bite accidents, abandonment, and abuse related to companion animals can become social problems.

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) will operate a Companion Animal Culture Class from November 10 to December 17 to provide pet owners with basic knowledge about companion animals and pet etiquette information.

The Companion Animal Culture Class will be conducted as small group sessions of about five people every Tuesday and Thursday at local animal hospitals or the district office.

Three veterinarians from the Geumcheon-gu Veterinary Association will give lectures every Tuesday from 2 to 3 p.m. on "Companion Animal Disease Management," every Thursday from 9 to 10 a.m. on "Things to Know When Adopting," and from 10 to 11 a.m. on "Interesting Veterinary Medicine."

The district will recruit about 70 participants for the education, including about 20 low-income residents recommended by each neighborhood, households with two or more animals, and general households in that order.

Residents who wish to participate in the education can visit the 11th floor Regional Economy Division of Geumcheon-gu Office or submit an application form by email (didduwjd2@geumcheon.go.kr) by November 6. The application form can be downloaded from the district website.

Meanwhile, the district plans to produce and distribute online webtoons and booklets to provide basic knowledge and pet etiquette information about companion animals to residents who cannot participate in the Companion Animal Culture Class.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, "As the era of 10 million companion animals arrives and related complaints increase day by day, it is important to follow social rules based on a correct understanding of companion animals to prevent conflicts," and added, "I hope this Companion Animal Culture Class will serve as an opportunity to form a desirable companion animal culture in the community."
