SPCA hosts animal welfare conference in Thanjavur

Trichy: The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) held an Animal Welfare Conference in Thanjavur on Saturday, highlighting the need for responsible pet ownership and compassion towards street animals. Thanjavur collector and SPCA district chairperson B Priyanka Pankajam presided over the event. SPCA secretary M Bhsskaran delivered the welcome address, while TNEB managing director J Radhakrishnan attended as chief guest. Speaking at the conference, Radhakrishnan emphasized the responsibilities of pet and livestock owners. "More people should adopt dogs, but they must also ensure safety measures for themselves and others. Vaccination—for both owners and animals—is key to preventing diseases like rabies," he said. He commended Thanjavur's initiative to collar neutered street dogs and called for greater empathy towards stray animals. Authorities, he added, must respond promptly to public grievances related to animal nuisances. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo The conference also featured sessions by veterinarians, researchers, and activists on animal care, healthcare, and safety.
