Antananarivo city council warns dog owners

Owners must control dogs in public spaces and protect passersby.

The Antananarivo Urban Community (CUA) has reminded dog owners of their responsibility to control their pets in public areas. Owners must ensure their dogs do not roam unsupervised and pose a risk to others on streets and in public spaces.

The CUA stated that allowing dogs to wander freely is prohibited. This measure aims to protect the public from potential harm caused by uncontrolled animals. The council also issued a warning about heavy rainfall expected in the northeast of Madagascar this week, with alerts for high tides and strong winds along the east and south coasts.

Meanwhile, the American embassy is hosting the "Freedom Festival" in Taolagnaro. This event celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence and the 160th anniversary of Madagascar-US friendship. Young attendees can gain knowledge by visiting the festival.
