The PSOE urges the City of Murcia to undertake awareness campaigns against animal abandonment (15/07/2016)

"One year we see the number of dogs and abandoned on the streets of our town cats grows, and a year the city of Murcia has not carried out any awareness campaign. We wonder if this is a problem that worries the Coello councilman or simply not aware of the reality that exists in our streets, "he lamented Friday the Municipal Councillor, Maite Espinosa Socialist Group.

The PSOE mayor said that the situation of the protection of the municipality is unsustainable because of the high number of litters of puppies that are embracing these first weeks of summer and that adds to the number of abandoned dogs at this time.

"Not only the Municipal Center Zoonosis is the limit of its capacity, so are private protective continuing to receive animals day after day, looking to host urgency or adoption to avoid sending them Zoonosis, where they are killed if they are unable to find home".

Espinosa has urged the local government to undertake education campaigns on respect and care for animals, as well as information campaigns in which owners of dogs and cats that means abandoning an offense he noted.

"The problem of abandonment of animals and breeding them in the streets of the municipality of Murcia is serious, not sacrificing them solved, but raising awareness of citizens in the obligation to take responsibility for their pets, you nurtured and protected and under no case, resort to abandonment. "

Socialist Councillor has also indicated that it is necessary to undertake sterilization campaigns in the municipality of Murcia, as well as promoting the adoption over buying.

"If we do not curb the breeding of dogs that are on the street and not encourage to be adopted to those who come to the shelters, end up becoming Murcia in a reflection of what happens in Chile, where the population of stray dogs is alarming. other cities in Spain are already taking action and seeing reduced the number of abandoned animals in the streets. it is time that Murcia also move in this direction, "he concluded.
