AVA impounding wild dogs in Jurong
I REFER to the letter, 'Wild dogs terrorise Jurong' by Ms Susanna Lim (April 17).

In response to feedback from residents last month concerning wild dogs around Jurong West Street 25 to Street 81, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) animal control team visited the area on several occasions to impound the dogs. To date, two have been impounded. Wild dogs are elusive and not easy to capture. Nevertheless, we will continue to visit the area to impound the remaining stray dogs.

We would also like to remind dog owners not to abandon their pets or allow them to stray.

We thank Ms Lim for her feedback.
