Dead Animal Disposal – Public health matters:
A proposal to Sindh Government to formulate a “Dead Animal Disposal Unit”:
In villages and country-sides there is enough barren and remote area where the dead animals can easily be disposed away from population and villagers keep such practice. However, Government Veterinary Hospitals should be consulted for analysis of potential risk & method of disposal.
The problem is severe in urban areas where there are no allocated areas for disposal nor the people are aware about the importance of dead animal disposal. Sindh Government should take notice, formulate a “dead animal disposal unit” to propagate awareness and to facilitate the civil society for dead animal disposal. For this veterinary units can work in association with municipality for provision of vehicles and labor/ cleanliness staff, veterinary centers may provide hand gloves, masks, antiseptics and disinfectants and the supervisory directions for handling & disposing the dead animal.
