I have to raise this issue regarding in an increasing number of strays(cats & dogs) which is happening at Valley Street 41. Some residents have also noticed a sudden increase in the number of stray dogs and cats in that area. People have been feeding the stray cats and dogs and that is likely to be the reason why the strays are lingering around that area for a long period of time.
The stray dogs are often seen around 4 pm onwards at Valley Street 41 travelling as a pack. Some of the muslim residents actually take a longer route home just to avoid the stray dogs. This causes inconvenience to the residents around. Some joggers also reported that they got bitten by the stray dogs while jogging. This is particularly dangerous because since the dogs are able to bite joggers(adults), they will most likely bite/attack young kids if they go nearer to the dogs.
Stray cats are also seen lingering around the void deck as told by the residents. People have been feeding the cats regulary and thus, they refuse to leave the area. The area is becoming very filthy because the people who fed that cats did not clean up after they feed. They simply leave the food there and expect the stray cats to clean it up for them. This totally unacceptable and because of that the area is often filled with pests! The cats are also making a lot of noise in the middle of the night, that might be due to hunger. The number of cats has been increasingly rapidly too! They might be un-neutered and thus, causes breeding in them. If this issue continues, it might affect the sleep of the workaholic residents as they are unable to get enough sleep due to the whimpering or noises the cats made.
How can we solve this issue?
There are several ways to solve this issues of the strays.
1) We can contact the SPCA to bring the strays back to the animal shelter and to find suitable homes for them.
2) We can contact AVA to capture the animals back and literally put them to sleep(I'm sure nobody wants to do this as it is too cruel)
3) Adopt them and bring them home(but please do license them!)
