From barbarism to solidarity, two faces of the extreme animal abuse Ramón Ruiz
Ciudad Real

Just 15 days ago knew one of the most repulsive cases of animal abuse that occurred in Ciudad Real in recent times. From a van covered tuition, some people threw two small podencas (root and ground) in a State of extreme malnutrition and with an advanced case of scabies that had made them lose hair and had left his skin covered with scabs and scales. A few days later, the protective ‘the welcome’ volunteers gathered in Miguelturra forest, another Hound of the same litter, although less severe, had the same symptoms as her sisters.

Since then, these three animals, which have been victims of the most despicable side of human beings, have known the other side, the solidarity of hundreds of people who have contributed money, food, medicine, and above all, their time, to help them in a process of recovery which is evident in only 15 days. “Today we wrote a woman from the United States, which has made us a cheque gift of 500 euros to purchase the products we need in a web page”, we commit Ana Robles, one of the volunteers of the protective welcome who has followed the case of these three podencos. And this is only the latest of a long list of contributions arrived from all parts of the world, to help in this case especially media. “We have had phones collapsed,” stresses volunteer, stressing that this case has aroused a wave of solidarity which, beyond the concrete help for the treatment of the three podencos, has also served to make the Welcome to raise funds to help the hundreds of dogs that “without being so media, they also need help”.

Road to adoption still isolated from the rest, because your Scabies is contagious, root, land and forest recover from prolonged abuse in the Alvacan canine Centre, where they were sheltered from the first day. Although they are still reluctant to any human being that is not Juan Carlos and Virginia, the managers of the Centre, or volunteers of the protective making its follow-up, the three podencos have experienced a substantial physical change in these two weeks. Already without trace of scabs covering your body – especially serious was the case of root – and having won several kilos with a special diet, the animals accept our presence and even when we offer a sausage come slowly to us to eat and in the case of forest, which needed a muzzle when they collected their violence It is left as Pat, after that not all people are like those who raised them.

The goal, once recovered to finish and end treatment veterinary, is adopting. In this sense, that more advanced is is Bosque, whereby a woman of Burgos has been interested and have already begun adoption procedures. In the case of rRiaz and Tierra, volunteer of the protective points out that, when your scabies cure all, be sent to the Association Evolution of Madrid, with which they collaborate regularly and that has also requested its adoption.

More controls

udad Real is a province especially black on animal abuse and neglect. Especially in rural areas and in connection with hunting activities, there are many cases of abuse which, without reaching the end of these three podencos, occur each year.

“You need that Seprona increase controls to prevent such cases and punish harshly people able to treat an animal well”, says the Manager of the canine Center, which stresses that State that reached these podencos is not the result of a disease or a specific problem, but “be months locked up in a space without any hygiene feeding or care.”

On this issue, the protective volunteer remarks that, lately they are finding many cases of dogs abandoned in the field that have chip, but without any information about its owners. Therefore claim that, controls the Seprona, be it inspected more thoroughly.

Riaz, Tierra and Bosque have witnessed the worst of human beings, but from few days ago, are discovering that we are not only wild animals capable of evil for evil, but we also have the ability to help and give love.
