Volunteers promote safe interaction between people and dogs

According to statistics, stray dogs dwelling near rivers account for one-sixth of dog disturbance cases reported to New Taipei City. In a bid to address this situation, Taiwan Animal Equality Association (TAEA) has organized three volunteer training courses where animal behavior expert Polo explains ways to avoid conflict with stray dogs.

In the hope of reducing conflict between people and dogs, trained volunteers participate in at least two riverside dissemination activities, where material learned in the class is spread to riverside visitors. Director-general of the association Lin Yi-shan (林憶珊) said she hopes that through education more volunteers will join their mission, providing front-line foot soldiers who can provide information to the public and change opinions.

根據統計，河濱流浪犬的通報案件，佔了新北市動保處通報案件中的六分之一。台灣動物平權促進會特別為此舉辦了三場志工培訓，邀請動物行為專家Polo爸，講解當人遇到浪犬該怎麼做，才能避免衝突。

經過培訓的志工，必須參與至少兩場的河濱宣導活動，將上課所學的內容，傳播給會去河濱遊憩的民眾，希望能降低人與浪犬的衝突。動平會理事長林憶珊表示，希望透過教育，廣納更多的志工一起參與，踏出第一線的救援，改變民眾的想法與認知。
