We receive reports of abuse (\u201cdenuncias\u201d in Spanish) every day. Due to our heavy workload and lack of resources, we are unable to check out all possible cases of neglect or abuse. Therefore, this section is a guide on how to help animals in Spain.<\/h5>\n

We will continue to work alongside law enforcement agencies as we have always done. Our work has beenrecognised by the Civil Guard in M\u00e1laga and SEPRONA in Marbella,<\/strong>among others.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In general,\u00a0public institutions are not complying with the law<\/strong>. For this reason, citizens need to collaborate and help animals. Do not forget that animals have helped us with their hard work, dedication and companionship since the beginning of time. Do not be discouraged, you may feel frustrated, but remember that your strength lies in perseverance. We do not know which call or which action will bring about lasting change:\u00a0 Cat teaches a lesson to local authorities<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no” item_padding_600_768=”12% 0 0 0″ item_padding_480_600=”17% 0 0 0″ item_padding_480=”21% 0 0 0″ item_padding=”4% 4% 4% 4%”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”2865,2866,2867,2868,2869,2870″ img_size=”full”][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][vc_empty_space height=”53px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1600455703797{margin-top: 53px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #f1c81b !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1599911863741{padding-top: 53px !important;padding-bottom: 53px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][qode_elements_holder background_color=”#f6f6f6″ number_of_columns=”two_columns”][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no” item_padding=”4% 4% 4% 4%” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n If you only inform (\u201ccomunicar\u201d) <\/strong>the authorities of a situation, you will not be part of the process and you will\u00a0NOT appear as complainant (\u201cdenunciante\u201d).\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Download a template for informing authorities HERE (in Spanish)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n If you report (\u201cdenunciar\u201d),\u00a0<\/strong>you will become a complainant (\u201cdenunciante cualificado\u201d).\u00a0You can request to initiate sanctions proceedings,\u00a0<\/strong>as well as be notified of the start of proceedings or the agreement (art: 11.2 and 13.2 Penitentiary Regulation).

You should tell them that you have informed of or reported a situation to the authorities.\u00a0 <\/b><\/u>You will find information on Regional Agricultural Offices in Andalusia HERE.<\/strong><\/a><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n You can request that a vet,\u00a0<\/strong>who is specialised in this type of animal, check its condition and location to determine whether the situation is legal or not. They, in turn, will have to hold the local authority and\/or law enforcement agencies accountable, so they should help you to act on the animal\u2019s behalf.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This section is very important as, for example, any horse tied up in a field is there illegally. The Regional Agricultural Office is the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food\u2019s competent body to sanction not only the animal\u2019s owner, but also the owner of the plot or the place where the animal is registered.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder] <\/div>\n<\/div> If the situation is not one of immediate urgency, or if the animal has still not received assistance, you can send your notification or \u201cdenuncia\u201d by email to:\u00a0 ma-cmd-malaga-seprona-oftecnica@guardiacivil.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nIn order to continue defending the rights of animals, we need the participation of people like you, people who respect animals and who are committed to their welfare.
