THE SPIRIT OF DICTATOR FRANCO IS LIVE AND WELL IN
SPAIN
The Italian couple Simone Righi and Jo
Fori decided to take holidays in Spain with their family, their
three doggies Holly, Vito and Maggi. In Cádiz they wanted to see
some sites where dogs were not allowed so they asked around
for
a dog kennel. At the town hall they told them the dog pound (
Puerto Real) had kenneling services so they took the doggies to
stay there for three days. On September 17th they went to pick them
up and to their horror they were tod their dogs were
dead. Holli was in the freezer (see attached photo)
but Vito and Maggi had already been incinerated.
The police found Holli had been killed with a poison that causes
terrible suffering. We knew that's how they kill all the dogs and
cats at that dog pound (and many others in Spain) and the
conditions the hapless animals have to endure before put to
death, but for years denouncing it had achieved any
changes.
On Sunday October 7th about 2000 people, including Simone Righi and
Jo Fiori, participated in what should have been a peaceful
demostration to ask the Mayoress Teófina Martinez for justice.
She insulted the couple, tore the photo of their doggies they
were showing, words were exchanged at which point 5 policemen
fell on Righi, punched him and took him bleeding to the police
station where they kept him for four days not allowing him to
speak to anybody, have a change of clothes or anything else.
The police had also arrested Isabel S. who was let free after her
family paid the 3000 euros bail. In the meanwhile, two of the
municipal representatives, Carmen Obregón and Natalia Alvarez
instigated no doubt by the Mayoress Martinez, accused Righi of
having attacked them, when in reality they had not even seen him.
The judge sent Righi to prison where unless we all succeed in our
endeavour he could stay up to 6 months before his sentence, that
could be up to six years in jail.
This could happen to you when holidaying in Cádiz with your
doggies, (and other places in Spain, we guarantee it): they
cruelly kill your dogs and when you complain you end up in jail
under false accusations. Please help us get Simone Righi out of
jail, the Mayoress Martinez kicked out of office and many
thousands of animals saved from a very cruel death!

Sample
letter in Spanish:
De mi mayor
consideración:
Por este medio le
rogamos que interceda por el señor de nacionalidad italiana Simone
Righi que luego de que se le asesinaran sus perros que estaban en
régimen de guardería ha sido injustamente acusado en Cádiz de
atacar a dos ediles del municipio durante una demostración pacífica
el 7 de octubre, durante la cual la violencia fue únicamente por
parte de la guardia civil. Nos parece que esta prepotencia y dureza
son más propios de la España franquista que de un país que dice
llamarse democrático. También pedimos la dimisión de la alcaldesa
Teófila Martínez y que la gestión de la perrera se dé a una
protectora de animales para que se deje de matar a los animales con
tanta crueldad luego de tenerlos en las peoers condiciones
imaginables.
Agradeciéndole su
atención se despide muy atte.
