Local association requests dog-walking area in Seac Pai Van

For hygiene reasons, a dog- walking area should be designated at the Seac Pai Van Park, the Macau United Citizens Association has argued.
According to the association, the number of dog keepers in Macau is on the rise. However, the association has received complaints from residents in some neighborhoods about dog droppings. This has led to bad smells and may provide a breeding ground for bacteria, according to the association.
The association reminds dog owners to be “civilized” and clean after their dogs immediately, especially during these hot summer days.
The association also suggests that the government host events on pet health and appropriate pet-keeping practices.
Currently, the city has 11 dog-walking areas, apart from 20 dog toilet areas. The number cannot meet the growing number of pet dogs in the city. Accordingly, the association is requesting that the government stay cognizant of this trend and plan to create such facilities. AL
