On October 9, 2007 more than 80 dogs and cats were thrown from a bridge by an animal control company. A year later a vigil in the town square of Barceloneta was held in remembrance of that day.
This company is supposed to protect and shelter animals not discard them like trash. Unfortunately nobody was found guilty, but a new law with tougher sentences emerged from this incident. Law 154 of Welfare and Protection of Animals of 2008 replaced the weaker Law 67.
Now agencies such as police and the municipalities must enforce them, which they rarely don't. That has to change!!
