Seodaemun-gu Installs Metal Feeding Facilities for Stray Cats

POSCO Construction Selected for 'Local Government Animal Protection Support Project', Installed in 9 Locations... Expected to Improve Animal Welfare and Prevent Trash Bag Damage

Public Feeding Facility for Stray Cats Installed at Seodaemun-gu Office Plaza with Support from POSCO Engineering & Construction

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will install durable steel public feeding facilities for stray cats in nine locations within the district.

Previously, the district was selected as a target for the "Local Government Animal Protection Project Supporting Coexistence with the Environment," a project promoted in collaboration with POSCO Construction, POSCO A&C, and Animal Freedom Union.

The district has already installed public feeding facilities for stray cats in four locations last year and six locations this year on its own, while also conducting a neutering project to reduce conflicts and inconveniences among residents caused by the increase in stray cats and to spread a culture of coexistence between people and animals.

With this addition, the total number of feeding stations will increase to 19.

The district will cooperate with local volunteers to provide food and water to stray cats stably.

The district plans to prioritize installing feeding facilities at four locations recommended by the "Seodaemun-gu Stray Cat Companion Headquarters," including Seodaemun-gu Office and Yonsei University, and will select the remaining five locations as places that pose no risk of complaints, are easy to monitor, and are safe for stray cats.

A district official said, "Through this project, we expect a reduction in residents' inconveniences such as damage to garbage bags caused by stray cats and an increase in awareness of animal protection."
