In a move aimed at achieving a balance between protecting the environment, preserving public health, and improving the quality of life for the community, Muscat Municipality has launched an initiative called Rifq Service, which seeks to care for, manage, and rehabilitate stray and stray animals, such as dogs and cats, humanely and responsibly, reflecting the municipality’s commitment to the noble values urged by the Islamic religion, and global practices in the field of animal welfare.
The “Rifq Service” initiative focuses on achieving a set of goals that are in line with Muscat Municipality’s plans to improve the environment and health life by processing reports quickly and efficiently,
Reports related to stray animals are received from citizens and residents, and specialized teams work to deal with them to ensure effective and rapid solutions.
The initiative includes capturing stray animals and providing them with the necessary health care and rehabilitation. This includes periodic vaccinations, treatment for diseases and parasites, and
rehabilitating animals to become part of the environment without posing a threat to public health.
A key part of the initiative is raising awareness among community members about the importance of animal welfare. This is done through awareness programs that highlight how to deal with stray animals
and the role of society in protecting biodiversity.
The initiative works to implement campaigns to sterilize animals, which contributes to reducing their numbers and preventing the spread of diseases and parasites that may affect public health.
It will contribute to a safe and healthy environment by reducing the spread of stray animals and dealing with them scientifically and humanely and the initiative aims to improve the quality of life for all members of society.
This initiative is of great importance as it works to maintain the ecological balance because animals play a pivotal role in the ecosystem, but their random presence may lead to an imbalance in this balance.
Through stray animal rehabilitation programs, Muscat Municipality works to ensure the sustainability of the natural environment while reducing negative impacts.
It also reduces health risks because stray animals are sometimes considered a source of diseases and parasites that may be transmitted to humans.
By implementing vaccination and sterilization campaigns, the initiative contributes to reducing the spread of these diseases.
The “Rifq Service” reflects the values of kindness and compassion towards animals, which are an integral part of the teachings of the Islamic religion. It also seeks to promote these values among members of society and encourage them to treat animals humanely.
Muscat Municipality has allocated various channels for reporting stray animals, including telephone numbers, electronic applications, and social media sites. These channels aim to ensure a quick and
effective response from specialized teams.
Capturing and caring for animals: Stray animals are treated humanely, as they are captured, examined for health, and provided with the necessary care, including treatment and vaccination.
The teams implement campaigns to sterilize animals to reduce their reproduction, in addition to providing the necessary vaccinations to prevent infectious diseases and parasites.
The municipality will organize programs and workshops targeting schools and local communities to promote a culture of animal welfare and highlight the importance of the initiative in achieving a
balanced environment.
The “Rifq Service” provides the community with an effective opportunity to contribute to improving the surrounding environment by reporting stray animals and supporting awareness campaigns. Through
cooperation between individuals and relevant authorities, the desired goals of this initiative can be achieved.
