“so gross mutilation of ears and tails, and especially veterinarians clogged that, in the times we are in, the truth, surprised. It tries to hit a cut and leave the ears in the air “. Stupefaction sources close to the last case of animal abuse is clear. Twenty long Huelva hunters have cut ears and tails hundreds of dogs with their own knives, in the countryside and away from the operating room.
The consequences are open wounds that take years to heal or never close completely, in order to save 40 euros per dog that prevents veterinary clinic. The law makes it a crime these plastic surgeries since 2003 in Andalusia. However, the most striking of these cases instruct several onubenses courts is that the mutilations had the collusion six veterinarians, arrested for falsifying permits these illegal operations.
Operation Ears (ears) of Seprona began a year ago and remains open. In fact, the figure of 32 detainees expected to grow to 50 hunters and dog owners pitbull breed charged (investigated under the new name) for animal abuse in three regions (the Sierra, County and Huelva). Following the intervention of the Office of Environment, this week a judge has sentenced to 10 months in prison the first of the hunters, according to sources of the case. The vast majority of defendants have refused to testify after his arrest. But privately they have alleged that these cuts ears and tails are an “ancient” tradition that has made “life” to prevent the brambles harm dogs, so they just continued a rural tradition.
the Department of Animal Health of the Government of Andalusia and the Andalusian Council of Veterinary Schools have collaborated with the Seprona to determine the connivance of the six professional defendants. Since 2003 the Andalusian Law protection of animals as very serious infringement mutilation “for purely cosmetic purposes or to no purpose except those performed by veterinarians.” Therefore many onubenses hunters have traveled for years to veterinary clinics in Extremadura for these cuts to avoid the Andalusian legislation.
However, last year some hunters appeared before inspections agents veterinary certificates of dubious origin, with one document for several dogs. And this raised suspicions of the officers, who began to investigate various animal compounds where hunters keep their rehalas (grouping of dogs), usually consisting of 24 dogs.
Alfonso Aguado, president of the Spanish Association of Rehal, Guns research veiled threats: “it is manifestly unfair action of the Civil Guard. If you stop for this reason, we understand that you are standing outside the law is the authority. From there, we spoke with health guarantees “
Aguado admits his association is trying-not always successfully-hunters involved in interventions.” “But then defends his group:” We express our protest because we have treated sticks. If they are looking for the welfare of the dogs, which have to do [the agents] is speaking instead of going to arrest rehaleros. ” The president rehaleros rejects these operations are “cosmetic procedures” and consider maul ears “benefits the dogs.”
The Office of Huelva confirms that these cases of animal abuse have character “grave” “it is cruelty without anesthesia, and save the vet. The owner is aware that the animal suffers “stand sources in the public ministry. These sources emphasize that some of the mutilated dog had very recent unhealed wounds, urinary incontinence after seccionaran tail them with knives, and fear of humans by mistreatment.
The news about animal abuse they are becoming more frequent, but parallel legislation gradually gathers the sensitivity of citizens and groups for animal rights. One of the most surprising events came less than a year ago when on a beach in Huelva owner tied his dog to a rock to die by the rising tide.
