Intense work in high temperatures For animal welfare
From the area of animal welfare coordination of the Intendencia de Cerro Largo, together with the other institutions linked to the subject, deepen awareness actions on responsible tenure.

In these days of high temperatures the objective are horses tied to the sun and fundamentally those animals that do not have access to water to discretion.
“Do not forget that I am a rural producer and I know. They can have them in a place that has no shadow, but access to water is fundamental. In no field I have seen horses tied to rope. That is the big problem because not only is his freedom being held, but he is not allowed a good condition. Yes, it is true that the animal absorbs vitamins through sunlight, but it has to have access to water and must have access to the shadow when he needs it ” He pointed out Horacio Cabrera.
“As in all issues, one always meets someone who does not agree. We respect that person’s position, but we make him understand how things are ” held.

“We are in a great conflict of interpretation of the law. It is said that the horse, to withdraw it, must be in a surrounded place of a private property. With that criterion, the Intendencia de Cerro Largo would have to place a goalkeeper on each road and a goalkeeper on each road ” Cabrera said THE PROFESSIONAL RADIO. “In each place that the animal is, that belongs to the Intendance either green spaces, streets, avenues, roads or land of the intention, they are going to withdraw” advertisement.
This measure is not sought to bother, much less harm the neighbors but to enforce the regulations regarding animal welfare. “15 days ago, with Alfredo Riva, with Jennifer Clavij That’s why you don’t have to get it out ” said.
Improve social coexistence through animal welfare
“Yes, it is on rope, without water availability and without access to shade the animal is not well taken care of” synthesized. “Personally I will concentrate a lot on the issue of water” said. “I am talking that the equine must have no less than half a tank of 200 liters, water that has to be changed at least twice a day. Yes, those are not going to proceed to your retirement ” He warned.
“In that I am very clear about what the mayor asked me to improve the situation of social coexistence through animal welfare.” He stressed. “In that parameter I will drive myself. There are many people who are happy with what is being done ” assured.
“We are not going to fight with the neighbors either. Yes we are retiring a horse and the owner comes and tells us that he has where to take him, we ourselves move it. There is no problem. Far from wanting to collide with the neighbors, but we are going to enforce everything that is understood within the law ” He ended up saying time Cabrera, animal welfare coordinator of the Intendencia de Cerro Largo.
