She added that the April 4th of every year, which is World Animal Control Day, be recognized in the bill as well as proper definition for pet doctors and control of stray animals.

Secretary, Zonal Southwest Cattle Breeders Association, Alhaji Usman implore the House to emphasise on giving the association time to train herders on enclosed grazing as well as financial support for herders to engage in cattle pound.
