今年恆春半島已發現幾起狂犬病陽性案例，為加強防疫，本處已請轄區內全體員工加強防疫監測與通報，並呼籲民眾配合遵循「不接觸野生動物、不棄養動物、要每年帶貓狗及食肉目動物注射狂犬病疫苗」的防疫原則外，如發現任何死亡野生動物，應通知所在地動物防疫機關處理，切勿自行處理或丟棄。狂犬病疫情期間，建議遊客勿攜帶寵物進出園區。
相關的通報專線資訊如下：防檢署狂犬病通報專線0800-761-590（請留意，我救您），屏東縣動物防疫所專線08-7224109；若被動物咬傷，應以肥皂及大量清水清洗傷口，並立即就醫，各縣市都有人用狂犬病疫苗儲備醫院，查詢醫院請洽1922防疫專線。
本處將於6月13日上午10:30-11:30邀請屏東縣防疫所人員至本處生態研習中心舉辦臺灣狂犬病防疫課程，歡迎大家前來參加。
Several cases of rabies have been detected on the Hengchun Peninsula this year. To enhance epidemic prevention, staff members of KTNP headquarters have been required to strengthen rabies monitoring and reporting. We urge the public to adhere to the epidemic prevention principles of "not contacting wild animals, not abandoning pets, and ensuring annual rabies vaccination for cats, dogs, and carnivores."
Additionally, if any dead wild animals are found, they should be reported to the local animal epidemic prevention authority for subsequent management, instead of handled or disposed independently. During the rabies epidemic, visitors are advised NOT to bring pets into the Kenting National Park.
The following are relevant rabies reporting hotlines:
- Rabies Reporting Hotline of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency: 0800-761-590
- Pingtung County Animal Disease Control Center :08-7224109.
If bitten by an animal, the wound should be washed with soap and plenty of water, and sought medical attention immediately. Every county or city has hospitals with rabies vaccine reserves. For inquiries about hospitals, please contact the Epidemic Prevention Hotline:1922.
On June 13th, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., the Kenting National Park Headquarters will invite personnel from the Pingtung County Animal Disease Control Center to hold a Taiwan rabies epidemic prevention course at their Ecological Learning Center. Welcome to attend and help prevent rabies.
