Known for their expertise in veterinary care and animal population management, IAPWA was approached by the SPCA to help implement a comprehensive management strategy similar to successful initiatives elsewhere.
Despite continuous efforts and numerous proposals submitted to the local authorities, including detailed presentations to the Majlis Perbandaran Sandakan (MPS), the response has been dishearteningly tepid.
