The residents of Rojales are calling for support for a protest which will take place on Sunday 29 September, to show support to stop animal abuse.
The local animal protection group, Adda Guardales, collaborates with Rojales Council in the application of the CES/CER strategy, an ethical and effective method to control the number of cats on the street, and keep them healthy, which, other than being morally and ethically correct, are legal requirements under the Animal Welfare Law.
To this end, the council has recently installed containers adapted to feeding stations for cats. Despite the containers being legally required and having the intention of both caring for and controlling the cat colonies, they have been vandalised, broken, they have thrown dirt inside, dust, and liquid, and other waste products.
Another container has had to be moved because some aggressive neighbours shouted that they do not want it and that all the cats must be killed, those same neighbours who insult, threaten, and verbally and physically attack the volunteers.
Several cats have been poisoned in recent months in different colonies.
Therefore, a peaceful protest has been called for Sunday 29 September, starting just after 11:00, at the Plaza Malecón del Soto de Rojales, where everyone is invited and urged to attend to show support for both the animals, and those who care for them.
Wherever you live, we hope you will lend your support in Rojales.
