The Councilor for Health and Consumer Affairs at the City of Lorca, María del Carmen Ruiz, recalled that currently the company that performs the service of collection of animals from the public road is obliged by contract to carry out public awareness campaigns aimed at correcting certain bad Social habits, as well as to promote animal welfare and adoption of abandoned animals.
These campaigns are carried out on a regular basis on the responsible holding of pets, animal walk with leash, obligation of collection of stools, reduction of dropouts, promotion of adoption of collected animals and talks to schoolchildren among other initiatives.
It should be clarified, in addition, that the company has a system of locating and adopting the animals collected, serving all interested citizens through the website www.adopcionescereco.org
The Minister of Health has stated that the Consistory is the first interested in getting all pet owners to fulfill the duties and obligations they have with their animals. Those responsible for cases of abandonment are those who perform them, not the City Council nor any Another entity.
Each person is responsible for the acts he / she performs, and in the case of the owners of animals, from the Town Hall we work with the means at our disposal to assume their obligations.
In fact, throughout the year we carry out campaigns to control the chip in the municipality to monitor compliance with the municipal ordinance established for this purpose.

In fact, the City Council of Lorca, in collaboration with entities with the Official College of Veterinarians of the Region of Murcia, has been developing annual campaigns of anti-rabies vaccination in districts, has joined a pioneering service and free collection and care of pets in case Of hospitalization of the owners due to illness or traffic accident, will enable one of the Lorca beaches for the presence of pets, provide free training courses open to the participation of all citizens and has enabled 3 recreation areas for pets in The parks of La Viña, Virgen de la Amargura and San José.
The continuous campaigns of awareness and responsible holding of pets that are carried out continuously by the City Council have, for example, been able to increase the number of dogs identified with the corresponding microchip in our municipality, a figure that rises Up to 12,325.
