8.
It is customary practice of the Cochabamba Municipal Kennel's
personnel
(Zoonosis), to abandon the animals during week-ends, without water
or food. They
now threaten to kill 8 dogs, left in deplorable conditions this
past week-end.
It was discovered that the Zoonosis Chief's dog had his ears
and tail brutally
cut off (with untreated wounds), for "experiments" and
because "I can do
whatever I want with my dog" (actual quote). Even dogs with
owners looking
desperately for them, mysteriously "disappear".
9. At
Solomon Klein Hospital in Cochabamba, 3,000 anti-rabies vaccines were
burnt,
which made the municipal veterinarians come out and start killing every
dog,
covering up the vaccine disaster to SEDES (Government Health Officials).
10.
Cats and dogs which present a nuisance, or are no longer wanted, are
simply
hung by the neck in houses or trees, in sight of everyone.
11. All
kinds and species of animals are poisoned throughout the year,
with
strychnine, thus forming a "death chain", endangering public health and
damaging
the environment - this goes on in Sucre, Potosi, Oruro, Cochabamba,
Las Minas
and other departments.
For all this and much more, and for a
Law of Animal Protection to be finally
enforced in Bolivia, which will punish
animal abusers as criminals, please sign
this Petition, which will be
presented with a Letter to President Evo Morales
and his government.
