Compared to previous years we have growing groups of people concerned to the
welfare of animals specially
dogs, whom we call
man's bestfriend so to say. And it is quite very true today that Filipinos are now learning a lot on treating the animals with much care and love. Unlike before when their master would used stick and collar and were a lot hostile taming them. Group of animal-
welfare rights activists celebrated their World Homeless Animal Day (August 16, 2008). With Luis Buenaflor Jr., the external affair officer of the AKF, they offered free vaccination, recovering
dogs from meat traders and spreading drives on the right care for animals. They also gave a lot of advises on how to prevent tick and flea infestation. Not only the AKF (Animal Kingdom Foundation), but also Lovepets.com, CARA or the Compassion and Responsibility for Animals, and other animal welfare groups gathered altogether to vaccinate dogs and cats too, held in Brgy 43, Zone 3, District 1 under Barangay Chairman Edwin Padasa in Tondo Manila.
