Everywhere I go in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines, I see animals like cats and dogs suffering on the roads. These innocent creatures are victims of abuse and abandonment, a sight that breaks my heart every day. This is not just a personal issue for me; it's a community concern that needs immediate attention.

Stray animals pose health risks to both humans and other animals. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stray dogs alone contribute to about 99% of human rabies transmission worldwide. In addition, these abandoned pets often suffer from malnutrition, disease, and injury.

We need our local government in Iligan City to take proactive measures in managing these stray animal populations while promoting responsible pet ownership. We must build an environment where compassion for these creatures is fostered among our citizens.

Let's advocate for programs that promote spaying/neutering as a means of controlling the stray population. Let's encourage educational initiatives that raise awareness about responsible pet ownership within our community.

By signing this petition, you are calling on the local government of Iligan City to take immediate action towards managing stray animal populations effectively while fostering compassion and awareness among its residents. Your signature can make a difference in the lives of countless innocent creatures who deserve better than life on the streets.
