HUMANE DOG POPULATION MANAGEMENT 🐾

Managing free-roaming dogs requires solutions that consider both animal welfare and the needs of the community. In Cebu City, Dr. Alice T. Utlang helped push that approach forward through spay-neuter, vaccination, safer dog-catching methods, and eventually CNVR.

Visayas Head of Biyaya Animal Foundation and former Cebu City Veterinarian, Dr. Alice spent 21 years in public veterinary service and helped transform how Cebu City managed free-roaming dogs. Under her leadership, Cebu City became an early pioneer of LGU-led spay-neuter in the Philippines, introduced safer net-based dog catching, and later adopted CNVR as an alternative to routine impounding.

Her work also earned support and recognition from Humane Society International, which partnered with Cebu City on animal population management and humane animal control. She was later recognized with HSI’s Outstanding Animal Protection Educator Award and was named Outstanding Government Veterinarian by the Philippine Veterinary Medical Association in 2019.

At PAWCon 2026, Dr. Alice will bring this firsthand LGU experience to the panel discussion on Humane Animal Control: Finding Common Ground with Animal Welfare, sharing how CNVR can form part of a more humane approach to managing free-roaming dogs while balancing animal welfare and community safety.

JUSTICE SHOULD APPLY TO ALL. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW — NOT EVEN THE LGU.

The recent viral incident involving the improper disposal of dogs and cats has awakened public attention and outrage. People are demanding answers, accountability, and justice for these animals.

But we also hope that the same public outrage, attention, and willingness to demand accountability will be extended to reported cases of abuse, cruelty, and inhumane treatment inside government-operated dog pounds.

What happens during the capture, handling, transport, and confinement of stray animals must also be scrutinized.

Government authority is not a license to abuse animals. Being an LGU employee or working in a government facility does not exempt anyone from accountability.

ANIMAL CRUELTY IS WRONG, WHETHER COMMITTED BY A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL OR A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.

If there are documented violations of animal welfare laws, those responsible must be investigated and held accountable under the law, regardless of their position or affiliation.

We must not be selective in fighting for animal rights.

Every animal deserves protection, dignity, and humane treatment — including those unfortunate animals caught and brought to government pounds.

Let us make these cases visible, too.

STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. JUSTICE FOR ALL ANIMALS!

Respect, ethics and decency missing with such humans able to do such a scam!

Kahit sila'y lumisan na, patuloy na mananahan ang pagmamahal at mga masasayang alaala sa ating mga puso magpakailanman.🐾🌈

Ano ang mensahe mo sa yumao mong furbaby?

Let us not forget the LIVE DOGS AND CATS SUFFERING IN POUNDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Animals who have been abandoned, dumped in landfills, left to die, starved, or cruelly euthanized through gassing, beatings, and lethal injections — even when they are healthy! 😡

It is time to put an end to this cycle of cruelty.

Our call is clear: Abolish the pound system as we know it. Establish humane government animal shelters and sanctuaries, or transform existing pounds into places of refuge, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming — not death chambers.

Animals deserve protection, compassion, and a chance to live. We must demand accountability and a humane alternative. 👊👊👊

While we seek justice for the 29 animals found dumped, let us not forget the countless dogs behind pound bars.

Dogs abandoned by irresponsible owners.
Dogs discarded like they never mattered.
Dogs paying the price for human negligence.

Who will fight for their justice?
Who will hold their owners accountable?

Justice must not be selective🙏
Every abandoned life deserves a voice🐾
Every innocent animal deserves protection💙

STOP ABANDONMENT!
DEMAND RESPONSIBILITY!
FIGHT FOR ANIMAL WELFARE!
