The Seprona has evicted around 100 dogs that were in protective Association Catuscan, in an operation that counted with the collaboration of the city of Zaragoza and the Environment Department of the DGA. Agents closed yesterday down the enclosure, where, according to some witnesses, there were dogs in unsuitable conditions.

According to sources close to the case, could accuse the owners of this group, which is based in Garrapinillos, of abuse and trade with animals, but still have not confirmed the crimes that could be attributed to this Kennel owners continue to open operation.

Apparently, this protective has two areas where dogs housed and which proceeded yesterday to inspect the Seprona, after a preliminary investigation that determined that there could be signs of ill-treatment of animals and even animal traffic. Once we proceeded to close the Center, animals – the exact number is still unknown but they could be between 50 and 150-will have to be hosted by the Centre of Peñaflor municipal protection, where the location of each can be studied and you will receive care according to their situation.

Currently, the municipal Center houses around 150 pets, among which are in their own enclosure and those that exist in the program of foster homes. For this reason, from the Zaragoza City Council is has launched an appeal to increase adoptions and, thereby, leaving hollow these animals needing protection after passing through the aforementioned protective. This planned dogs reach the municipal site in two or three days, where they will be a physical examination to see his conditions.

The first suspicions about the activities of this Association arrived this summer, with the case of a gauge, called Savanna, which had been deposited in this kennel. When their owners were interested in their status and situation, the Association explained that the dog had escaped but their owners did not hesitate to go to the venue from Seville. There they found evidence that made them suspicious of the treatment of animals and proceeded to denounce the Association. Indeed, last Tuesday occurred even a view in court number 10 of Zaragoza, where one of the owners appeared as imputed by misappropriation.
