Every day, stray animals in General Santos City face hunger, disease, and neglect. At the same time, communities deal with overpopulation issues, including the risk of rabies, animal-related accidents, and public health concerns. Traditional methods like culling have proven ineffective and inhumane, leaving both animals and people suffering without a long-term solution.

If we continue down this path, stray populations will keep growing, leading to more disease outbreaks, road incidents, and community conflicts. Other cities, like Cebu, have successfully controlled their stray population through CNVR (Catch, Neuter, Vaccinate, Release)—a method that is not only humane but also scientifically proven to work.

Now is the time to act! Inspired by Dr. Alice Utlang’s success in Cebu, we are taking the first steps to bring CNVR to GenSan. By signing this petition, you are helping us push for an official CNVR ordinance that will create safer, healthier communities for both humans and animals. Let’s be the change GenSan needs—sign today!
