ACTIN, making changes for animals in Spain.

Animal care Treatment International Network has been set up to make changes for the animals in Spain, who suffer abandonment and cruelty. What we plan to do is to bring awareness of the problems to the world’s media. We need to promote education, new legislation and support neutering campaigns. It is necessary to get support Internationally to put pressure to bear on the Spanish government and to persuade them to take more responsibility for the lack of animal welfare in Spain. ACTIN plans in the future to bring about these changes through media awareness. Actin will tell the truth of how it is on an everyday basis, particularly in the country villages of Murcia, where there is a lot of ignorance and abuse. They will tell of what the volunteers deal with and how the abuse of animals is getting worse. ACTIN will endeavor to bring about campaigns for sterilization and education in schools. There is a need for a Society to protect the animals and this is what ACTIN aim to do in the future but we need much support to achieve our aims.

Please remember that we dont have to put up with dogs not having food, water or shelter, just because they are in the countryside. If you want to try and do something to help, pass on a leaflet explaining the obligations and laws to the owner.

If you think it will aggravate the situation and the owner is outright cruel, then obtain proof with photos and newspaper date evidence....Actin will help or advise wherever we can.

Actin has a downloads page on their website with posters relating to various situations, including sterilisation advice....in both English and Spanish.

The law for animals in Spain passed on 12th June 2013 makes it illegal to cause any suffering to animals. 

English translation for the Water, Shade, Feed Advice Leaflet.  (See printable Spanish pdf version here)

Some may not be aware that animals suffer just as human beings do. The animals in our care rely on us for their safety and care. We use animals for pets and work and they serve us well, let’s show them the respect they deserve. 
If you have animals please be aware of their needs and what may cause suffering.
• Your animals without shade from the sun can cause your animals intense pain and suffering; please be sure that your animal has shade and shelter from the sun, just as you will ensure yourself and your children safety from the sun, your animals rely on you for this
• Your animals always need water to survive just as you do, please make sure that your animals have a constant supply of water, especially in the heat.
• Your animals require, healthy nutritious food for their wellbeing and health, just as you do
• Your animals have to go to the toilet just as we do. They do not like to be in an area where their faeces and pee is. Please ensure your animals’ space is clean.
• Your animals need exercise, a place to run, or a walk on a lead
These are basic principles for caring for your animals, whether pets, working dogs, hunting dogs, guard dogs, cats and livestock. Horses are very vulnerable in fields, please be sure they have shelter.
Animal welfare in Spain has improved and is improving and now laws for their welfare are in place and animal cruelty and neglect is not acceptable anymore.
Please be a responsible owner
Thank you
