Worship Peñas, Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Lorca has reported this morning at a press conference collection management abandoned on public roads is done in the city animals.

According Peñas, abandonment of animals, mainly dogs and cats, is a serious problem far from solved, worsens more each year, increasing the number of these according to official data from the Department of Health and that much of dropouts they are not counted.

In this situation, the position of the council has always been to hire outside companies to "do the dirty work of sacrifice".

Until a month ago, the company responsible was CERECO, which has been denounced on many occasions, both as individual animal organizations, inter alia for violating within 15-20 days of shelter animals and slaughter a few days of their entry into the center, besides cruel and inhumane manner as with injections of bleach and all with the consent inaction of the government team.

In February this year, led by IU-Greens a motion to the full in this respect, in which it criticized that CERECO, although advertised as a protective, sacrificing 90% of the animals collected and the rest destined them adoption and they are not identified with their corresponding records and requested that conditions were modified and seek an alternative project.

Despite this request, Peñas complaint that the City month and a half has terminated the contract with this company, but has been granted ESPRINECO SL, based in Mazarrón, of the same characteristics as the previous one and also has complaints animal abuse in 2014, on how the animals were in their facilities, extremely dirty conditions without adequate food, what triggered the allocation of three of its workers.

Therefore, the alternative project that was requested not only occurred, but is unlikely to get worse, which has only primacy economic criteria and has not received the opinion of the social partners and sensitive organizations this problem.

Peñas said that while other municipalities in the region, as Eagles, if you have municipal animal shelters, at no time has had on the city no shelter for them, nor any protective that it received financial support from team government, "because it is a problem that neither care nor interested" and the actions that have been undertaken in this regard have been thanks to volunteers who have dedicated their effort and money to such a noble cause.
