  • Denuncias, Sandra Baas tells you what do do – vitally important.

    I have just received this important piece of information from Sandra Baas, for those of you wonderful volunteers who may not know this.

    You can register a denuncia against every case of animal cruelty, even is you do not know who did it. This is because the hunters say that it is not true (mistreatment of galos) because there are no ‘denuncias’ in the Guardia Civil – and remember, members of the Guardia Civil and Seprona are also hunters. Baas Galgo register in the Guardia Civil every case of maltreatment of animals as a denuncia. Sandra says, ‘for the hunters I am a big nightmare and every time I have an article in the newspaper or magazines, they attack this way saying that the official numbers of Seprona are totally different from ours. Af course nobody knew before you can denounce without knowing the owner……lack of information.’So please, everyone involved in rescuing injured and maltreated animals, do what Sandra does and register a denuncia.
