Cats and dogs can't talk. They feel the same as us humans: hunger, thirst, happiness, sadness and loneliness. They guard our property, control the rodents and insects, decrease the feeling of loneliness and reduce stress. Petting a dog or cat can lower your blood pressure.
The Island of Taboga is beautiful and a destination for tourists. Seeing healthy animals always puts a smile in one's face. Knowing about the senseless killings of dogs and cats is a undescribed tragedy that causes repulsion.
The only effective method to control the number of unwanted dogs and cats is the STERILIZATION. Poisoning does not work because the habitat is filled almost immediately. It is a cruel practice and it gives the message to the younger generation that it is acceptable to kill the defenseless. A child that tortures an animal is a future violent criminal. As the saying goes: you reap what you sow.
Let's put a stop to the poisoning of cats and dogs in the island.
Spay/Panama coordinated with the representante Marcos Delgado, the honorable mayor José Chirú and the Corregidora Gira for a third blitz. A total of 232 animals have been sterilized on the island.
