International Agricultural Expo 'Companion Animal Pavilion' Gains Popularity for Animal-Human Interaction

Diverse Programs Including Veterinary Consultations, Training Demonstrations, and Puppet Shows

At the 2023 International Agriculture Expo, the ‘Pet Pavilion,’ a healing space where pets and people interact, is receiving great response from pet owners and the general public.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 20th, the Pet Pavilion is being operated at the Suncheon Bay Ecological Culture Education Center until the 22nd.

At the Pet Pavilion, various programs are offered for visitors, including psychological healing, veterinary animal health consultations, animal training demonstrations, pet puppet shows, free adoption of dogs and cats, and a tropical fish ecology exhibit.

Visitors can learn detailed information about companion dogs, cats, and fish, and hear ways to interact with them. The puppet show stage features engaging performances about dogs and cats.

At the Healing Animal Farm, children can participate in experiential programs to interact with various animals, learning and experiencing the love for animals.

For the safety of pets and visitors and to prevent infectious diseases, hand sanitizers and other quarantine supplies are provided, and quarantine mats and tunnel disinfectors are installed to offer convenience to visitors.

Additionally, to ensure animal welfare and minimize stress for pets, cat towers have been installed, and the number of obstacle course demonstrations for dogs is limited.

Park Hong-jae, the director of the International Agriculture Expo, said, “We hope many people visit the expo to feel the healing energy through interaction with pets and learn how to coexist with them.”

Meanwhile, this year’s International Agriculture Expo is held under the theme “Agriculture Changes the World ? Agriculture Protecting the Health of the Earth and Humans,” featuring 12 exhibition, experience, and sales halls across three zones: the Theme Exhibition Hall, Healing Experience Hall, and Promotion and Sales Hall.

The Theme Exhibition Hall is operated to showcase and allow visitors to experience how agriculture responds to the climate change crisis by integrating agriculture and rural areas with Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies for the healing of the Earth and humans.
