WHAT CAN YOU DO
AS A PET OWNER

 •
Keep your pets - and children - away from stray food and suspicious plastic bags; check these bags for poisoned contents!
 •
Keep an eye on the behaviour of strangers/hunters around your property, especially if they seem to be annoyed by your barking dogs. Reaction on our letter in Portugal
 •
Teach children that poisoning is a disgusting and horrible act, extremely painful to the animals.
 •
Report cases of attempted poisoning or attempted poisoning in detail to the G.N.R. or the Police.
 •
You can also file a report with the World Society for Protection of Animals on the website: www.wspa.org.uk.
 •
Sponsor sterilization, sheltering and replacement programmes of Portuguese or International organisations for animal welfare.
 •
Get new pets from local homes for abandoned animals; you will be surprised how lovely they are...
 •
Spay or neuter your own pets.
 •
Print a flier and put it on a bulletin board in a public place. Extra!
