Protest in Madrid 23 October 2011 - PACMA need your support

This news received from Esdaw.

Now the Spanish government are trying to introduce an animal 'protection' law. If it goes ahead, they will fine anybody found feeding stray dogs or cats. Strays will be able to be euthanised 3 days after entering a compound. 

PACMA are organising a protest against this new law on Sunday, 23rd October in Madrid. If anyone is going, any associations protesting elsewhere, please be sure to let PACMA know.

Please SHARE far & wide!

Focus on opposition to the Animal Protection Act of Madrid

The animals will feel deceived and disappointed by the Animal Protection Act proposed by Esperanza Aguirre. 

Therefore we demand a comprehensive policy for animal protection, to promote animal adoption, sterilization and management of cat colonies, which achieves the goal of 'Zero Sacrifice' in kennels as a way to end this vicious cycle of neglect, sale and slaughter of animals: Something is happening in the Community of Madrid.

This measure by contrast, can give rise to the sanctions of many anonymous people spend their time and resources to feed cat colonies, sterilizers, something that government should do.

It's time to require significant legal changes for animals. Join us in our call:

 

Sunday October 23, 2011

From 11.30 to 13.30

As someone said "all the more reason now to keep dogs on a lead. What if you lose your dog by accident, no-one will be allowed to help him/her".

Janice, a friend of Tina's. Tina & Gaynor, with their team of wonderful volunteers, run the Galgos Del Sol refuge in Murcia, Costa Blanca
If YOU can help by taking a galgo/podenco please email Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com or ring her mobile 693 100 712 Galgos del Sol is dedicated to every galgo espanol; those who made it and sadly those who didn't. Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK and other parts of Europe. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Gaynor, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and in the UK. Galgos del Sol es una pequeña protectora con sede en Murcia, España, que rescata galgos abandonados y heridos (galgos españoles de caza) y los rehabilita y les encuentra hogares para siempre en el Reino Unido y otras partes de Europa. Miles de galgos son abandonados o asesinados cada año al final de cada temporada de caza y como en España normalmente no los consideran mascotas por lo general terminan en perreras, donde acaban con su vida y a menudo en formas que no consideraríamos muy humanas. Galgos del Sol depende totalmente de donaciones para su supervivencia y está gestionado por dos mujeres muy involucradas, Tina y Gaynor, con la asistencia de un grupo de voluntarios con sede en España, Francia y en el Reino Unido.
