This is a Spanish dictionary translation of the newspaper report. It is not the first time I have reported about packs of podencos living rough on Ibiza. Some years ago a cazadore was prosecuted and jailed for letting his podencos roam the streets and the ones he bred from were kept in terrible conditions.

New packs of wild podencos alarmed residents of Es Cubells (video below)

@Noudiari/Como already took place years ago, the podencos packs return to populate the area of Es Cubells, triggering the alarm and complaints from neighbuors, who denounce that they invade their property and even fight with their pets.

IB3 Ara Mateix program has reflected the complaint of a neighbour, who explains that the podencos “are everywhere” and that can add up to “200 or 300” in the area. Also explains that they appear by his house in a pack of “30 or 40” to attack my dog. “One day I am going to find it dead”, he says.

The neighbour, who also has recorded a video, recounts that he had to rescue with the car a young girl that was running in the area because “she was being attacked”. “The girl was in an anxiety attack. We were able to rescue her but one day something really will happen and no one has a solution to this”, he criticizes.

Another neighbor says that herds are everywhere, in areas also as Benimussa and Cala D’hort. According to the report by IB3, the packs are distributed by five kilometers radius of Es Cubells.

This is precisely the same situation with Sendic who lived in Es Cubells, in 2012 with the packs of podencos of Bartolomé Marí Ribas. Sendic, who was tried on abuse animal and was sentenced to a year of psychiatric internment, by his “obsessive-compulsive disorder similar to Diogenes syndrome”, according to the ruling of the Criminal Court No. 1 in Ibiza.

However, on this occasion, the Town Hall of Sant Josep said that those dogs do not belong to Sendic, who died earlier in February 2017 aged 78 years, according to the obituary posted by the family.

Some are wild podencos who have grown up in the vicinity of Es Cubells.

For a solution, as happened four years ago, the Fundación Natura Parc will endeavour to catch the dogs, which will be taken to a refuge of Majorca.

They will be cared for by veterinarians who will check each one before being given in adoption.

Here you have the video recorded by a neighbour that you can see a pack of wild podencos face another dog in Es Cubells.
