​如何知道動物已絕育？How to tell if the animal is desexed?

請留意耳尖是否剪平或剪成 V 字，這是絕育記認.

如有人飼養或餵飼，可向他們直接了解.

亦可留意動物一年內是否有發情/懷孕等

​

Check if ear-clipped marking either in a straight line or V sharp.  That is a virtual marking for desexed animals.

Ask the keepers/feeders directly.

Keep an eye on the animal if it has heat-cycle or got pregnant in a year's time.
