KOTA KINABALU: The Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) is looking to introduce new rules for dog owners amidst growing concerns over the population of stray dogs in the city.

DBKK Mayor Datuk Noorliza Awang Alip said that they were considering amending the by-laws in order to set guidelines on how many dogs people can keep as pets in their premises.

"Secondly, the rules state that dogs were to only be fitted with steel tags but some people have already started using chips," she added. She said these were the discussion brought up during a meeting between DBKK, dog lovers and non-governmental organisations on June 14. Several short-term solutions discussed included holding awareness campaigns and operations to license pets, hold dog adoption campaigns and to have the City Hall work with NGOs for adoption and treatment of injured or ill strays.

On putting captured stray dogs to sleep, Noorliza said they had yet to do as such on any canine they caught, although the law provided for such a solution to control the stray dog population.
