Reviewing Current Animal Management Contractor Protocols and Training Standards

Mr Kenneth Tiong Boon Kiat asked the Minister for National Development in light of the death of a dog captured at Seletar West Farmway 8 (a) whether the Ministry will review the "acceptable parameters" of force, as outlined in the AVS statement of 16 November 2025, and training standards for animal management contractors; and (b) whether the Ministry will formalise collaboration with animal welfare groups to ensure humane handling while maintaining public safety.

This question was addressed in the Ministry of National Development's reply to the question asked by Ms Lee Hui Ying on 12 January 2026. [Please refer to ​"Animal Welfare Groups' Involvement in Trap-Neuter-Rehome/Release-Manage Programme", Official Report, 12 January 2026, Vol 96, Issue 12, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
