  • Seprona on the war path in Cadiz – hindering, not helping!

    Happy Endings Chiclana 250Happy Ending Final-Feliz in Chiclana, Cadiz, have had their problems in the past, with authorities being awkward! All the charity want to do is help the abandoned dogs in the area, get them off the streets, look after them, rehome them. Something the authorities should do.

    Now, on 18th February, there’s this news from the association. And it’s not the first time I received a report of Seprona putting pressure on the people doing their job!

    ‘PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! WE NEEDYOUR HELP! It has been an eventful week down at the kennels. We have had a visit from Seprona (Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza – OR – Nature Protection Services). They have informed us that, unknown to us we are not complying with certain regulations laid down by the authorities.

    ‘For the last year we have been arranging car boot sales every Sunday in a place called El Marquesado, and successfully got an income for the animals that need help in our area.

This car boot sale has been held on what we thought was wasteland as this was an unfenced, abandoned area. We were unable to find out if anyone owned it.

  • Happy Endings, Cadiz – saving the podencos of Chiclana

    Happy Endings Chiclana 250 Happy Endings is a small association in Chiclana, Cadiz, run by Margarita Gloerson, a Norwegian lady who could not stand by and see the abandoned, starving, injured podencos dying by the roadside.  This is the story of Happy Endings. 

    'My name is Margarita Gloersen from http://www.happy-ending-final-feliz.eu/ in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz.  I have been working with dogs since I arrived Chiclana in 2005. I am from Norway, and when I came I just could not believe my day to day experiences with animals lying in the road, killed by cars and all the others just left to themselves with no chances to survive in the long run. Sooner or later they would become run over by cars, since all the trash bins are alongside the roads.
