Stray Dog Killed With Unapproved Trap, AVA To Take Action

We thank all who have alerted us to the case of a community dog killed during a dog control operation in Ang Mo Kio, just 2 days ago (Thurs 4 Sep, 2014).

We rushed down to the site shortly after having been informed by a dog feeder who witnessed the incident. We have looked into the matter, independently and with the AVA.

The AVA’s investigations later showed that the trap used by the contractor had been modified and was not actually approved for use in community dog control operations.

The contractor also did not monitor the trap, a requirement to ensure that any trapped animal was removed quickly. The AVA will be carrying out enforcement action against the contractor.
