Taiwan bans euthanasia of stray animals, but agriculture council warns of risks.
Taiwan bans euthanasia of stray animals, but agriculture council warns of risks.Taiwan has banned euthanising animals in shelters, which follows the tragic suicide last year of a vet burdened with the task of putting down animals.
The law came into effect Saturday, two years after it was passed by parliament – a period meant to prepare shelters for the ban.But during the wait, animal lover Chien Chih-cheng took her own life with euthanasia drugs, reportedly upset at having to kill animals at the shelter she worked at. Reports at the time said Chien was called a “butcher” by activists. Her death sparked calls for authorities to improve conditions for animals and staff at shelters.
An animal welfare group, Life Conservationist Association, estimated more than 1.2 million animals not adopted from shelters have been put down since 1999. “Animal protection in Taiwan has moved towards a new milestone,” the association’s executive director Ho Tsung-hsun said in a statement.
But Taiwan’s Council of Agriculture warned the ban would lead to a deterioration in the quality of shelters through a surging intake or it may discourage the capture of strays. “It’s impossible for there to be no problems,” said Wang Chung-shu, deputy chief of the animal husbandry department, according to The China Times.
He said Taiwan’s ban was “quite idealised”, adding that manpower was a problem because the vet’s suicide had had a “chilling effect” on the sector, according to the report. continue
