Sebastian Peñaranda socialist councilor is proposing in the floor of the municipal government next week the launch of a special plan to reduce the abandonment and sacrifice of animals in the pound, where some 4,100 dogs are euthanized each year.

In view of the data continues Peñaranda, "get older and what was supposed to be a municipal kennel protection and rehabilitation of abandoned animals as determined by law, has become a place of sacrifice and death."

For the socialist mayor, the municipal PP should give a shift in public health policy as pets and direct reference to the protection and respect for animal rights with actions aimed at the reintegration of these, instead of slaughter systematic.

Therefore, this initiative Peñaranda fully defend the PP government demanding the expansion and modernization of the municipal kennel facilities for extending the stay of the animals face to promote their adoption.

So also propose the creation of a web-portal for the adoption of abandoned pets that serves as a showcase of stray animals in good condition.

"The people of Murcia can view their photos and read a description of their characteristics and requirements and helps to finally adopt."

Another measure proposed by the PSOE mayor refers to the signing of a cooperation agreement with pet stores to sell in its stores these stray animals in the pound in good condition at an affordable price.

Finally, Peñaranda require more monitoring and enforcement of the ordinance on animal protection by punishing those who leave the animals and those who do not take their pets with the chip or to mistreat them.

Funding for this special plan, says the mayor of the PSOE, should be on their own resources obtained from the implementation of it through advertising on the web portal, penalties and fines, donations, fund adoption, etc. .
