DR.
CARLOS NÉGRIER, VETERINARIAN, SPEAKS
OUT...
"In our clinic
we often receive animals that are deliberately poisoned
with the intention to kill them.
We know that the
same happens in all clinics in the Algarve because this is
a common practice in this part of the country. We think
that this is a cruelty and has to be end. Therefore we
would be glad to be of assistance to all who could help to
change this situation.
We would be
pleased to co-operate with all persons, national and
international public organisations to drastically reduce or
even stop this barbaric custom.
It seems to me
that it is essential to involve the municipalities, as they
are responsible for the gathering and sheltering of
abandoned dogs, a task they neglect altogether and
consequently contribute to the uncontrolled growth of that
population.
It is important
to make the tourist industry aware of its responsibility,
as it is often reported that at some times of the year in
places like golf courses many animals are poisoned to avoid
any "inconvenience" to the tourists. It is also important
to request the G.N.R. and the Police to find and charge the
culprits. Persons and organisations in the field of animal
protection should be called upon to mobilize their contacts
to better the situation.
Once again, we
would like to state that we are willing to co-operate with
anyone who can help change this situation radically in the
Algarve and the rest of Portugal."
FALA
O DR. CARLOS NÉGRIER, VETERINÁRIO...
Na nossa Clínica
recebemos frequentemente animais que foram envenenados com
o claro propósito de os matar.
Sabemos que o
mesmo acontece em todas as clínicas do Algarve, sendo tal
crime prática comum na região.
Cremos que
tamanha crueldade deve terminar e portanto colaboraremos
com grande satisfação com seja quem for que possa ajudar a
mudar este estado de coisas.
Gostaria de
colaborar com todas as pessoas e entidades nacionais ou
estrangeiras interessadas, para se reduzir drasticamente ou
até se conseguir acabar com esta bárbara prática. Parece-me
essencial envolver as Câmaras Municipais, que têm
ultimamente negligenciado a recolha de canídeos
abandonados, cujo número aumentou assim
enormemente.
Importa
sensibilizar as indústrias hoteleira e turística, pois em
redor de recursos de lazer como campos de golf aparecem em
certas alturas do ano muitos animais envenenados que assim
já não "incomodam" os turistas.
Seria também
importante pedir às diversas polícias que apurassem as
responsabilidades individuais dos autores de tais
crimes.
Convém envolver
todos os caridosos com os animais, pois poderiam
sensibilizar os demais quanto à
situação.
Finalmente,
informo mais uma vez que estamos sempre prontos para
colaborar com quem quer que seja que possa contribuir para
alterar radicalmente esta situação no Algarve como também
nas demais regiões de Portugal.
