FAUDA, a new group based on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, fighting against the abuse of all animals on the Islands including podencos. (google translation)
'FOR AN INTEGRAL PLAN AGAINST ABANDONMENT AND ANIMAL ABUSE IN THE CANARY ISLANDS, NOW! *
Today FAUDA has to give bad news to the Canarian society. Today she has to report that she has been left alone before the animal abuse, before the abandonment and before the zero sacrifice. Today FAUDA does not see that there is any kind of help from the Administrations. In short, everything promised to date by the Public Administrations has not been fulfilled.
Immersed in the month of August 2018, we are still waiting for the commitment of a new regulation of the Canary Islands Government for animal welfare, promised by said institution.
We warn of a great indifference to a social emergency in which the abandonment is far exceeding what can support the protectors and associations. Even the island hostel can no longer handle the current situation.
Given the extreme neglect of public administrations for the realization of an effective plan and the fulfillment of their promises, animal protection associations are forced to carry out only assistance measures, being overwhelmed by the social suffocation in which we find ourselves.
We need urgent help, we need rules approved so that abandonment on this island is reduced and animal abuse is eliminated. What is not possible is that Associations and Protectors absorb a problem that is the responsibility of the Administrations, and refuse to work in unison and find solutions to it.
FAUDA requires the Government of Gran Canaria, the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the 21 municipalities of the island of Gran Canaria to be involved in this work.
There is no vacation, there is no August for animal abuse, there is no August for animal abandonment, on the contrary, it is the worst month of the last five years in this aspect.
We have some statistics of abandonment that far exceed those of previous years, and instead of going to less this goes to more. It is urgent that the administrations start working with the federation or this social emergency will not be stopped, and they will be the only ones and last responsible before the Canarian society.
FAUDA communicates that if we continue with the current situation as before, we will collapse all the associations and protectors, being obliged to leave all the animals in the street that will soon be abandoned.
This social emergency is on the verge of becoming an animal disaster before the passivity of public administrations.
- There is no investment for castrations.
- There is no new regulation.
- There are no sanctions according to the problem
There are no inspections, and finally there is no active listening, only promises for those who, over the years, have acquired the necessary experience with which they hold the keys to a civic and ethical solution to the social emergency that we are currently experiencing.
Finally, we make a special mention of recent events in the municipality of Telde, where it has been seen that its citizens are taking responsibility for providing assistance and shelter to the animals of the municipality, which should be the responsibility of their municipality.
Due to this neglect of functions of the administration it ends up picking up abandoned animals, and locating them in private farms. This, added to a lack of preparation and means, greatly complicates the situation, giving rise to these cases of 60 overcrowded and poorly cared for dogs. Circumstances that should never have been given if the Administration fulfilled its obligation to order and regulate these situations from their origin.
That is why, in the face of the passivity of our public institutions, from FAUDA we demand more firmness in the fight against animal abuse and neglect through:
• the filing of complaints with the corresponding judicial and / or administrative authorities.
• the preparation of reports on the different areas that affect the animals.
• undertake public awareness campaigns and information before the media
• promote the organization of conferences, colloquia or seminars, promote legislative changes to advance the necessary molar and legal progress that involves the respect and defense of animals.
"For a Comprehensive Plan against abandonment and animal abuse in the Canary Islands, now!"
