The Civil Guard detained four employees of the animal shelter Triple A and is investigating another 13 for committing various offenses
The protective, performing sacrifices of healthy animals without any clinical judgment, by non-medical staff, had a policy “sacrifice 0”
In the related documents seized with economic management it has also detected diversion of funds from the association for private purposes.
