Artist and Influencer Kaem Bum Supports Rabies Awareness

Kaem Bum revealed: “I am ‍very⁢ happy to help publicize the anger problem. Because it’s because of the dimples in your ‍cheeks. There ⁢are about 100 pets born out of love. We consider pets as​ our friends. Because when⁣ I was young I was a person who didn’t ‍have many friends. I would‍ like to say this to all those who ⁤raise animals. Animals have life too. Therefore, raising them must take care ⁣of their health, well-being, and ⁢prevention of various diseases. Today’s event⁣ also includes vaccination against rabies and various infectious diseases.
