Since 2022, about 14,300 stray animals have been rounded up throughout the island. Of those, only 1,745 were adopted and more than 12,200 were euthanized, according to Lt. Gov. Joshua F. Tenorio. Stray animals and next week’s groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Hagåtña pool were among the issues discussed at the Islandwide Beautification Task Force.
