(Baonghean.vn) - Village officials in Anh Son district, when going to people's homes to administer vaccinations against disease outbreaks in livestock, said that one of the difficult and somewhat dangerous tasks is chasing away stray dogs.
Currently, localities in Nghe An province are organizing spring vaccination campaigns for livestock against diseases and rabies.

Many households, despite being notified in advance, still fail to confine all their dogs, forcing homeowners and veterinary officers to chase and catch them, which is very difficult and slows down the vaccination process.
