In animal welfare news, Taichung City, Formosa (Taiwan) is working to provide loving homes for feline and canine friends.

It seeks to make the adoption of dog and cat companions more accessible through the participation of 14 animal companion shops.

Mr. Yu (m): The Loving Care Station project has received great support and encouragement from many of our customers. I am deeply touched!

ANCHOR: Mr. Yu Jiann-Chung, Director of the Taichung City Animal Protection and Health Inspection Center, also plans to share this idea so other municipal governments can increase their rates of animal adoption.

Mr. Yu Jiann-Chung (m): I think this is a very good project. On one hand, we are advocating animal adoption. On the other hand, our citizens will know more about respecting animal life. I would like to make an appeal to our audience and friends worldwide. If you have a dog, you must love him or her. We should love them as we love our children.
