Here is a google translation of the update on the rescue from the Aanipal Association facebook page.

‘We do not want to leave anyone in the inkwell who took part in this.

To the mayor of Santa Cruz de La Palma Sergio Matos for mobilizing to this situation and seeking legal advice, to counsel Sandra Barrero for advising and mediating between the two parties, to the complainants of this problem, to all the people who have echoed Of this case (we have received messages of support from Los Angeles, France, etc. ), the police who accepted the order of the mayor and the holder who signed the temporary assignment of the animals.

All of this has been a job for many, and at the end we have managed to improve the conditions of these animals. Granite to granite will make a mountain walking together for animal welfare’

From the Association Aanipal who got the dogs out on 23/3/2018

‘We want to thank the city hall of Santa Cruz de la palma for achieving the transfer (temporary) of these animals to our association. This means that we will have custody of these podencos until their legal owners provide a suitable space for them.

So far, that’s all we could get.

Today we will publish the pictures of the animals, last night we were out of strength.

Thank you all for the support

Las Palma, Canary Islands. What the holidaymakers don’t see – the cruelty the podencos suffer! This is a Google translation of the story…despite complaints for years, Seprona do nothing!

‘What I can tell you at this moment is that the seprona is in the knowledge of this case, is reported and has also been reported several times.. There is even one person who has complained twice. But from what I see sadly, it is not a priority. To keep spreading all of it is to put pressure on and I will not stand idly by.

I don’t know how much I can do for you angels without a voice.. at the moment I want to make noise so that you can reach other horizons, to other eyes that maybe they didn’t know and that you don’t stay in oblivion. Who knows me knows the “bugs” that will have come out of my mouth, the helplessness and of course the pain of seeing you like this.. because when it comes to animals, regardless of their species I honestly curse those responsible…this kind of “shit with legs”, disgusting beings who keep in poor condition these living creatures!!

In France where I live there are regularly held Salon du Chiot which are hug ‘fairs’ at which you can buy puppies and anything to do with dogs. These fairs should be banned. Please sign and share this petition, even if you don’t live in France.
