On September 1, 2026, one of our members reported that a cat had been hit by a vehicle within the campus premises and unfortunately ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐.
Upon receiving the report, our members immediately coordinated to locate the cat and give it a proper burial, with the help of one of our maintenance personnel.
We are sharing this because this should not be treated as just another campus incident.

Under ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐ก๐ผ. ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฏ๐ฒ, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, drivers are required to maintain a careful and prudent speed and must not drive at a speed that endangers life, limb, or property. The law also provides a ๐บ๐ฎ๐

Campus roads are shared spaces. Students, faculty, staff, and animals move through the same areas every day and stray cats are especially vulnerable because they can suddenly cross roads, rest near pathways, or between vehicles.
An animal being a stray does not make its life less valuable. They are living beings who can feel pain, suffer, and die.
If an accident involving an animal does happen, please do not simply leave the animal behind. Report the incident and seek assistance immediately.

Let this serve as a reminder that keeping our campus safe includes protecting the animals who lives here too. ๐พ
