The Association for the Protection and Defense of Animals and Plants (APAP) 4 feet Jumilla reported that the owner of the dog rescued on Saturday after being thrown into a well 30 meters by himself and spend several days has been adjudged by a fault and not a crime.
According to Article 631.2 of the Penal Code, punishable as needed "those who abandon a pet in a position where it can endanger your life or integrity."
The administrative penalty is a fine of 10 to 30 days.
The animal protection in this town of Murcia is understood that "as the dog miraculously sustained no fractures or major injuries, has not been considered animal abuse."
In addition, the owner of the Breton of 7 years has been renamed Paca, in gratitude to the citizen under a rescue after the Emergency Coordination Centre 112 refused assistance, should voluntarily give custody of the dog to the association.
The anger, sadness and discontent are the general feeling in this non-profit association that manages since 2009 the Municipal Animal Shelter Left in this population of 25,000.
"We live in a country where protest the death of an animal in a bullring carries fines of 18,000 euros and throw a dog a well 30 meters left in sanctions that may not pass for 300 euros," say.
"We are very concerned about cases of abuse that often and helpless witness to the legislation, which adds to the difficult situation they have always gone through animal shelters, with hardly any support for Administration and managed by a voluntary exhaustion assuming the responsibilities that exempt public entities, "they explain.
But the disappointment is not synonymous with despair.
Next Sunday will attend the rally and demonstration in Murcia, as well as in other major provincial capitals, claiming once again increased penalties under the slogan "No to animal abuse" (www.noalmaltratoanimal.org )
The events begin in the Plaza Cardenal Belluga of Murcia, at 18h and will not go alone.
Paca, and recovered most of their nutrition, participate in the demonstration demanding cases like yours do not go unpunished.
Also, ensure that, far from giving up, continue to monitor and denounce any case of suspected child abuse, as well as continue claiming, like other animal protection organizations, the "necessary accession of Spain to the European Convention for the Protection of Domestic Animals and hardening of the Criminal Code in cases of animal abuse.
