Team Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage
29 November 2023
Team Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) comprises representatives from Animal Welfare Groups (AWGs) such as Save Our Street Dogs (SOSD). The team has worked hard over the years to produce science-based data to advocate a change of Singapore’s stray dog management policy from culling to a more humane TNRM policy.
The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) subsequently launched a 5-year island wide TNRM Programme in November 2018. Team TNRM works with the AVS and other stakeholders (such as AWGs, independent rescuers and feeders, external trappers, vets) to deliver the programme. It has also worked with the AVS and National Parks Board (NParks) on public education materials, as well as internal TNRM policies relating to trapping and public feedback management.
The team has TNRM-ed and rehomed dogs from this project, thus contributing to the reduction in the stray dog population.
