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.

Part of Actin's work is to investigate reports of cruelty or neglect.

Those that follow Actin Association’s work will know that part of our work is to investigate reports of cruelty or neglect. In every case we attend we always find a way to help the animals legally. This is the only way that anything will change in Spain for animals.

We now have many successful rescues from these types of circumstances and as we build up our records, we plan to present them to Town Halls as proof that there is a problem and that we are dealing with it in the right way. Consequently if our Association is shown to tackle these cases and just how many there are, it will be evidence that something more needs to be done and that Actin needs support to continue the work. If it benefits the community it can only be considered important and paving the way to change.

We are gaining more experience and knowledge, to get better in what we do and we are glad to also help many people that come to us and ask for help. We do have limited resources, yet we endeavour to do as much as we can. We also campaign for sterilising and education – but our main aim will always be focussed on prevention of cruelty and neglect.

We work with an excellent legal team who advises us and it is important to be absolutely correct in our actions. So, your continued support and understanding of our work is vital - we are different to rescue and we have an important plan and goals to reach for the future of the animals.

Thanks to EOS for allowing this blog and wish you all at Actin luck with all your work to help animals in Spain - I support 3 refuges in my area by making toys to raffle and saving small coins and donating and of course adopting our lovely dog. We have always had pets and up to 3 dogs at the time but as we are now retired we had decided not to have any more pets but could not resist this little boy - if anyone has doubts about fostering - go for it - but be aware you may not want to let them go - the pet will love you unreservedly and ours makes us smile many times every day and the walking is good for you all.

Yes, good luck with your important work. Do you believe it is getting worse then? Is this because of the crisis, do you think? I was hoping the treatment of dogs was improving. When we first arrived in Spain, some villages didn't think their dogs merited names, even. They might call them 'perro' or 'perrito,' but I've noticed they do things like have them on leads occasionally now and even pay the odd vets bill when they're ill. I still regularly see abandoned dogs though on the side of the street when I come over.
In terms of getting the authorities to adopt any role, I think you've got your work cut out. Sometimes if they can see that people are sorting out a problem for free they feel that frees them from any responsibility. It's a Catch 22. But all the best with it. At least you're taking positive action and doing worthwhile things every day.
