Within the verdant walls of the Villa Verde Homes Subdivision, lie a myriad of stray animals, widespread amongst its streets. While normally they’re not hostile, they are known to be territorial and can chase joggers, runners, but most importantly and commonly - bikers. This presents a biological risk of acquiring rabies due to the dogs.

A personal anecdotal experience: There were stray dogs because the owners failed to keep the dogs inside their house, and as a result, have become territorial in the road in front of the house they’re guarding. In Villa Verde Avenue, while I was biking, I got chased by two dogs, and since the streets in Villa Verde were downhill slanted, I almost crashed into a car that was parked.

Let’s not wait until lives are harmed until we realize what has to be done.

The total cost is around Php 25,000,000.00, preferably paid by an annual deposit basis.
