Registry of Pet Ownership as Control of Urban Fauna in the City of Riobamba

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the feasibility of establishing a pet ownership registry as a means of urban fauna control in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador, in 2023. After examining the situation in Ecuador regarding urban wildlife control in relation to pet owners who do not provide proper care for their animals, it is deemed necessary to implement a system to address this issue effectively. This would help regulate the overpopulation of stray animals in the city of Riobamba. The study has involved a review of literature, as well as local and international news on the subject, making it predominantly qualitative, quantitative, and exploratory. The conclusion drawn is that there is a clear need to implement a system to ensure proper control of both pets belonging to citizens and animals found on the streets, as this issue poses a problem in the urban aspect of the city of Riobamba.
