Thinking of all the Spanish rescue shelters in Andalucia during the terrible Storm Leonardo and praying none of them are flooded out or suffer damage. This from PACMA – Partido Animalista.
We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.
While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.
Overcrowded shelters, volunteers without resources, animals dependent on humans completely exposed to the cold, heavy rain, or potential flooding. This is the reality that keeps repeating itself, and from which we never seem to learn.
And this is no coincidence. It is the result of a political system that continues to treat animals as secondary. If PACMA doesn’t speak out, no one will. If PACMA doesn’t denounce this injustice, animals are left completely alone.
Every statement, every complaint, every demand we make is possible thanks to those of you who support this project. But it’s not enough. We need more. We need more social force, more support, more committed people who understand that animal rights cannot be defended alone.
Joining PACMA is not a symbolic gesture. It is a tangible tool to exert pressure, to make things difficult, to force institutions to act. It means that animals matter, even in emergencies, even when everything gets complicated.
Thank you for being here, for supporting us, and for not looking the other way. We will continue to insist. We will continue to demand.
Because if we are not here, no one will be there for them.
