Javier Limón, husband of the affected:'What not sacrifice my perro' – La Opinión A Coruña

“Hello, my name is Javier Limón Romero, I am the husband of Teresa Romero Ramos, auxiliary infected by Ebola for trying voluntarily to the two infected patients who were repatriated to Spain. Want to publicly denounce such a Zarco, I think which is health officer of the Community of Madrid, told me they have to sacrifice my dog ​​just like that. I asked my consent, which I denied. says that then ask for a court order to enter the into my house and sacrifice. ”

So the statement on social networks by Javier Limón Romero, the husband of the auxiliary infected by Ebola, which remains in isolation at the Hospital Carlos III of Madrid, starts as his wife, although separate modules.

The message has created a real buzz to be broadcast in dozens of pages of animal welfare groups in the networks. Javier advocates seek other alternatives before you kill your pet, called Excalibur that, in its opinion, may seem “easy” because “a dog does not matter much.”

Javier proposes to put the dog in quarantine and observation as has been done with it and wondered if the dog sacrifice, why do not you sacrifice him too “just in case”.

In the text , states that “a dog does not have anything to infect a person and not the other way around”, hence it deems “unfair” that “they want a bug fix this fast track.” Meanwhile, the dog stays home alone while having a sack of 15 kilos of food and plenty of water in buckets and the tub in addition to the open terrace to make their needs, says Javier.

However, this request Lemon has fallen on deaf ears and it appears that Excalibur is DOA. The Ministry of Health of the Community of Madrid has been decreed by a court order to euthanize the dog to avoid possible risk of contagion. This enables judicial ruling to proceed to slaughter the animal by appropriate measures “to prevent their suffering, using appropriate biosecurity and biocontainment this risk, and the transfer and subsequent cremation of the body of the animal.”

Health argues that there are data to support the finding dogs with positive antibodies to Ebola virus, indicating that dogs can undergo a process of viremia but display no symptoms.
