Mercantile Investments and Finance carries out CSR campaign

A campaign was launched by Mercantile Investments and Finance PLC to sterilize and vaccinate stray dogs and cats on 24 March in Moratuwa. With the rise in stray dog population and potentialfor them to carry rabies, the CSR committee of the company sought the expertise from the Blue Paw Trust an organisation that possesses qualified vets and modern equipment to handle a campaign professionally.

On that day, over forty dogs and cats were sterilised and vaccinated in the vicinity of Moratuwa. The campaign was aimed at to control the stray dog population without needing to eliminate them regretfully. The anti-rabies vaccination was given to protect the community while the pavo vaccination was separately given for the longevity of the animals.
