Roaming dogs neutered in capital ahead of Forum leaders meeting

Stray dogs are being rounded up in Nuku'alofa this week, ahead of the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting here at the end of August. Assisted by Tonga Police and volunteers, a team of vets from Animal Fiji has commenced a “Trap Neuter & Return” program around the designated hotel accommodation and conference areas. The neutering is expected to make the dogs less aggressive and less likely to roam and fight.
