CADIAR
"Cadiar's use of poison in the village - it is bad enough that it
is used all along the river to kill the foxes that eat the eggs of
the birds that they will later shoot. My fear is a child will
somehow pick up the poison from one of the
animals."

Subject: poisoned dogs and cats in the Alpujarras
"I live in a small village in the Alpujarras Spain.
We are at a loss with what we can do about the locals poisoning the
stray dogs and cats.
We understand that the city is planning to pick up the strays next
week.
Yet 2 weeks ago 2 wonderful pointer dogs were poisoned. One died
and the other we managed to save.
Only today out of the 5 cats that we feed each day only 2 remain,
the rest having been poisoned and the latest case today.
When the dog that we managed to keep alive was poisoned I went to
the local Guardia who had no interest. These dogs and cats are
being poisoned in a very small village, a child could easily get
hold of whatever they are being fed.
What can we do please.
thanks"
"I however am disgusted by this. I feel it is a cowards way out to
poison and animal and walk away knowing it will then suffer for
hours."
