in

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.
