Pingtung County has initiated various public programs focused on animal welfare and ecological preservation.

In late August, the county announced an agritourism event scheduled for September 5 at Zhenxin Ecological Farm. The initiative, titled “Walking into the Barn Owl’s Fields,” aims to promote barn owl conservation and farmland biodiversity. This follows a program established in 2022 where local farmers receive ecological service payments to maintain habitats by avoiding rodenticides and installing raptor perches.

Following this, the county announced a public awareness event for World Rabies Day on September 19. Held at the Pingtung Agricultural Products Hall, the event provides pet health check-ups, rabies vaccinations, and microchip implantation. Officials noted that while rabies in Taiwan is currently limited to wildlife, annual vaccinations are critical to prevent the spread to humans and domestic animals.
