Through this agreement, Busan Metropolitan City and Union Biometrics will work together to vitalize the animal registration system, an essential component of a responsible pet ownership culture. By increasing the animal registration rate, they will contribute to “promoting animal welfare” and building “a pet-friendly city, Busan.”

The key points of the agreement include:

• ●Cooperation on applying new technologies, such as the use of biometric information, to improve the animal registration rate

• ●Establishing a cooperative system to strengthen the protection and management of lost and abandoned animals

• ●Carrying out promotional campaigns to expand a pet-friendly culture

Ahn Cheol-soo, Director General of the Green City Bureau, stated, “This agreement, signed at a crucial point of transition from animal protection to animal welfare, is expected to contribute not only to revitalizing the animal registration system but also to fostering a mature culture of responsible pet ownership. We will continue to actively support efforts to make Busan a city where people and animals can live happily together.”
