Street cats, overpopulation, sterilization and big plans in the thousand islands

Jakarta – As the city of Jakarta without borders grows, the number of street cats also jumped. Without real intervention, this problem can be a time bomb that will threaten the well -being of animals and public health. Therefore, the Department of Food Security, Maritime and Agriculture (DPKP) of the DKI Jakarta Province with the animal lovers’ community is struggling to fight the potential overpopulation of street cats in Jakarta. For many years, various elements of the elements of society represented by the Animal Lovers community have struggled to improve the well -being of domestic animals, including street cats, through sterilization steps. They asked the DKI Jakarta government by the DKI Jakarta DPKP to increase the sterile quota. Since 2022, massive meetings have been found to be the fastest formula and a valid procedure to increase sterilization quota. In the midst of the limitations, different small communities still move. They continue to do education, fundraising and even independent sterilization training. Some animal clinics also contribute to the free sterile or subsidized program. However, this great work cannot just be placed on the shoulders of a handful of animal lovers. Indeed, public education, supportive regulations and government involvement are much needed. Browse to continue with the content in this limit, member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD of the PDI Perjuangan faction, Hardiyanto Kenneth accompanied the animal lovers’ community to express the welfare of domestic animals, one of their street cats. There is no exact information regarding the number of street cats in major cities such as Jakarta; Cat populations can reach hundreds of thousands. Without a systematic control program, a few cats can produce more than 60 offspring in just two years. The name Hardiyanto Kenneth is some of the legislative members who openly expressed animal welfare as a political agenda. For him, it is not a side problem-it is part of humanity. Kenneth began to know through the animal lover community as he actively took to the field to accompany different sterilization activities and vaccinations of street cats. He took different communities such as animal defenders Indonesia. “Animal welfare is a reflection of the quality of civilization. This city not only belongs to people. We must share space with other living things. If we cannot live with the worst, how can it also be said that Jakarta is a modern city?” Kenneth said.

In this case, Bang Kent, like the well -known greeting of Hardiyanto Kenneth, struggled together in a short time, with the meeting after the meeting was held together. Until finally, the implementation of sterilization is held in 2025, with a final quota tapped at 21 thousand male cats. Through collaboration with a number of stakeholders, the implementation of this sterilization will be maximized, so that the use of medicine can include sterilization for female cats, to DKI Jakarta areas that are the area of ​​the largest street catpopulation. Not just sterilization, rabies vaccination is constantly performed in a massive way with other animal welfare programs (Kesrawan). Because the problem of rabies still peers from behind the non -sided pet. In the midst of low awareness and facilities, vaccination became the last shield against death that was almost always deadly. Vaccination of rabies is not only a matter of protecting animals, but also to save humans. In fact, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, received a record of the Indonesian Platemuseum (Muri) after successfully performing 10,000 male cats during the last election campaign of the Governor. The award was awarded directly by the representative of the Cat Lovers community, Sonny Kastara Dhaniswara. It is an initiation and hard work by Bang Kent, which is also the head of Baguna (Disaster Management Agency) DPD PDI Perjuangan DKI Jakarta. The actions of members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Commission C, who are also animal lovers, especially cat lovers, are very helpful in improving the welfare and health of animals, where the proposed budget can be guarded, can be accounted for, recorded and maximized their benefits.

M.Si also appreciated the courageous steps taken by DKI Jakarta DPRD member Hardiyanto Kenneth, who consistently helped the animal health and welfare program. “Pak Kenneth is very useful to smooth the sterilization budget by communicating with Bappea (regional development planning agency) of DKI Jakarta with Bappea (regional development planning agency), so that every budget year for cat -sterilization activities increases,” Hasudungan said. The man who graduated from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) also hopes that more and more members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD can contribute to improving the well -being and health of animals, so that it can improve Jakarta’s position as one of the global cities that is not only comfortable to live in it, but also animals. “When we talk about a civilized city, the protection of other living things must be an indication. Jakarta as one of the world cities that is not only comfortable living in, but also animals,” Hasudungan concluded.
