The roadshow on ‘Animal Welfare and Responsible Pet Ownership’ will kick start at Plaza Merdeka here this April 27, and it will run till April 29.
The roadshow will show visitors proper pet health management, as well as hold free veterinary consultations, awareness talks, photo competitions, games, 3D photo booths and a children’s colouring contest.
On April 28, SVA will host a ‘Miao Run’ – a fun run that celebrates World Veterinary Day. The flag-off for the run, which will consist of 3km and 6km routes, is scheduled at 6.30am on Padang Merdeka.
“We are expecting around 4,000 runners in this series of events,” said organising chairman Dr Kelvin Chai, who is also a SVA executive committee member, during a press conference on the programme series yesterday.
On July 28, another run will be held – the ‘Siyok Run’ has 4 km and 7 km routes. This will be followed by the ‘Woof Run’ (5km and 8km)’ this Sept 29.
According to Dr Chai, the most interesting part of these running series is the medal.
“Medals from all three runs can be combined into one big medal – just like a jigsaw puzzle.”
Registration fee is RM55 per person for each run. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and medal. Those who register for all three runs before March 31 will receive a rebate of RM15 on participation fees.
The proceeds from the fees will be channelled to Sarawak Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA).
