Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) President Jose Tavares said yesterday he believed that the adoption for greyhounds left behind in the now defunct racetrack kennels could be completed in May next year.
Tavares made the remarks during the bureau’s last consultative committee meeting as the bureau will become the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) next Tuesday.
The bureau has been taking care of the greyhounds left behind by Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. in July. The local animal protection association Anima has been assisting in the adoption process, while Yat Yuen will be fined 50,000 patacas per abandoned dog, which amounted to 533 on July 20 when the racetrack closed down for good.
