The collaboration between the Animal Welfare department and the Local Police of Teguise has resulted in the imposition of various fines, some of which amount to 3,000 euros. These actions focus on combating the abandonment of pets in public spaces and ensuring that animals receive mandatory health treatments.
Among recent cases, situations of abandonment have been documented in residential areas and other municipal spaces. Animals rescued by municipal services, after exhausting legal custody periods without their owners claiming them, were officially declared abandoned.
Likewise, proceedings have been initiated for the absence of essential vaccinations, such as the rabies vaccine, which must be current. The council emphasizes that vaccination, microchip identification, and updated health records are not only a legal requirement for owners but also crucial measures for animal welfare and the protection of community health.
“"From the City Council, we continue to work firmly to protect animals and ensure responsible coexistence in all areas of the municipality, because abandonment and lack of health care are behaviors that cannot be normalized and against which we must act with responsibility and sensitivity."
“"The work carried out by the department and the Local Police aims to ensure compliance with the law and that animals receive the treatment and care they deserve. It is not about revenue collection, but about raising awareness and acting against situations that directly affect animal welfare and the safety of everyone."
