The program
Once registered, tutors will also receive information on public castration, vaccination and microchipping campaigns in their region, facilitating access to care and animal welfare services.
According to the government, the measure should also provide more security in buying and selling negotiations.
According to availability of resources, the federal government will support states and municipalities in its castration and microchipping programs, allowing access to these services, mainly by low -income or vulnerable people.
