On 12th March in Madrid, the following vote was passed unanimously. Here is a video of voting.
Below is a google translation of the news. Apologies for not correcting the grammar but you get the gist of the story!
Last night, march 12, 20015, we were in the house of madrid and took place a historical fact. For all that we are part of the shelter, was especially exciting to live live the moment In which the 114 members who were in the house, applauded contradicting the decision that they themselves had just taken.
Was on the table to decide, if finally, the proposal of the shelter to get a ban on the slaughter of animals abandoned in the community of madrid, and in fact with the support necessary to get ahead. And walked out! . death, has died! The absurd death of so many thousands of animals abandoned, no longer will take place in the community of madrid.
It has been a path to a long and hard the you have brought us this far, but also very beautiful. There is work to be done, but it is a path of no return: #sacrificiozero now.
We want to say thank you to all the madrid who signed in ink the support for our initiative, because with your strength and your love we made very clear that you would have done even with his own blood.
Thank you to all our partners, volunteers and supporters because without your help, this never would have been possible.
For a long time, others we said that we would not to fight to get it,
And what we have done.
Congratulations to all those who at this moment you are reading this text, and your eyes shine with excitement: The achievement is yours, live the life, death has died!

Wonderful news! So in essence, the shelters become no-kill shelters. Now, let’s hope that people will adopt them, otherwise, they will stay alive, yes, but they will spend their entire lives in cages… Above that, what they should vote is the mandatory sterilization of all animals not meant for reproduction by a certified breeder. That would go a long way towards keeping animals out of shelters to begin with. But it is a victory and one that might change people’s mind about animals. They might not view them so much as disposable objects.
Wonderful…hopefully, this trend will grow.
