Francine PSI: Jakarta must have 15 animal health centers, not Cat Island

Jakarta -Member of Commission B of DKI Jakarta DPRD, Francine Widjojo, still rejects the plan to make a cat island by moving cats to Tidung Kecil -Island in the thousand islands. According to Francine, the Jakarta provincial government still does not meet the obligation to provide animal health services. “According to Permentan number 64 of 2007, Puskeswan must be in one region with a culture to increase animals high or have more than 2000 animal density,” Francine told reporters on Thursday (6/5/2025). The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) politician subsequently cited the terms of Permentan Number 64 of 2007 that one Puskeswan serves 1 to 3 sub -districts in his area. “If you refer to the by -law, DKI Jakarta, which has 44 sub -districts, must have at least 15 Puskeswan,” Francine said. Browse to continue with the content, Francine explained that wild cats in Jakarta are estimated to be between 860 thousand to more than 1.5 million. Therefore, Francine proposes the budget that will be used to redirect the cat island to build 15 animal health centers (Puskeswan), which are needed in the appropriate regulations with high animal density sub-districts. “The long -term solution for cat control in an area is sterilization, not resettled,” he said. In addition, Francine requested a budget for Cat Island to also increase the sterilization of street cats in Jakarta. Francine says cats are territorial animals. “Cats are territorial animals. The area of ​​which the cats are moved to other places at a short time will be filled by other migrant cats,” Francine added. Francine regretted that the provincial government of Jakarta included this cat’s thematic island tourism in the final design of the DKI Jakarta regional medium-term development plan (RPJMD) 2025-2029. Francine said what had to be done at this time was the making of 15 Puskeswan. “The information is still a study of the study, but why is it included as a development plan in the final concept of the RPJMD? While making the puskeswan, which is not completed and not included in the RPJMD? “If a large number of cats are resettled there, they will become invasive predators and damage the ecosystem in the Kecil Tidung Island region, authorized at a conservation center based on the RTRW regulation,” he added. Nevertheless, Francine appreciated the Jakarta provincial government regarding his proposal, so Jakarta had local animals hospitals (RSH). Francine said his proposal entered the final design of the DKI Jakarta RPJMD 2025-2029. “While the construction of the Puskeswan was not listed at all in the 2025-2029 rpjmd. Previously, Governor Jakarta Pramono Anung requested, if the cat is realized in the thousand islands, later not only focused on the well -being of the animal, but also could bring tourists together. Most importantly, it provides welfare for cats, “Pramono said Friday (9/5). Pramono said that most reports in the Jaki application are currently dealing with cats. One of them is that many people ask for cat sterilization.
