[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Economic Welfare Committee of Jinju City Council in Gyeongnam continues its on-site activities despite the ongoing heatwave.

On the 28th, they visited local company Daesin Jeonggong to hear voices aimed at resolving corporate issues, and on the 30th, they visited the Jinju City Stray Dog Shelter to discuss ways to raise public awareness about stray animals and to listen to difficulties faced.

The Jinju City Stray Dog Shelter was established in 2005 in Jiphyeon-myeon with facilities to accommodate 40 stray dogs. However, as the number of pet owners increases every year, the number of stray dogs is also rising, raising concerns.

The Jinju City Stray Dog Shelter requested efforts to increase interest in stray animals and to foster a mature pet culture, as the number of households raising pets is growing.

Chairman Yoon Seong-gwan stated, “The issue of stray animals has become one of the local challenges accompanying the increase in pets, and we will strive to discover various policies and projects to improve citizens’ awareness so that a proper pet culture can be established.”
