Animal well -being and responsible possession, office receives complaints through 098 230 230
The now head of the Municipal Police of the Intendencia de Cerro Largo continues to lead the area of welfare and responsible possession of animals.
Both units work in the bus terminal, which facilitates the operation of the officials and the person in charge.
“This I am a little recharged in work now, I think it was a good thing from my point of view the fusion of the 2 offices because supporting me in the Municipal Police we also managed to act in several complaints that have to do with animal abuse and also with irresponsible possession because it is the irresponsibility of the people who make the animals out of control” express Carlos Melo.
This is fundamentally linked to the theme of dogs, beyond that lately there has been an increase in cases that involve cats. “It is referred above all to dogs and dogs that sometimes have an owner and are on the street or people who are not responsible for them” commented.
“The problem is not animals, the problem is the people who are not responsible” He stressed. “There are some dogs that are from the street, who live on the street, this referring to the problems we have in the urban part” specific. “Those animals are part of the neighborhood, even people feed them and water. Those are not the problems” said. “The problematic are those that are generating some incidents as an attack on motorcyclists or neighbors who cannot reach a dump truck. There are complaints of that type that are coming to us and we are going with the officials we have in animal welfare and with the support of the Municipal Police. That fusion is very important because they are working very well” broad.
“Now we have an animal welfare office that also works in the terminal also, on thirty street and three. We have a telephone number with an administrative that is receiving complaints from 8 to 14 hours. It is about 098 230 230” Carlos Melo reported.
In this way, complaints of all situations that are eventually generating dogs on public roads can be made. “Immediately an inspector, with the support of the Municipal Police, will attend to try to identify the animal and also, in conversation with the neighbors, try to identify the owner” He explained about the process that will be given to the complaints that arrive from the different points of the city.
A project under study of the Board
The person in charge of the Municipal Police and Animal Welfare of the Intendencia de Cerro Largo confirmed that a legislative process will be given to an Executive proposal.
“Now a project entered the Departmental Board that we are working on where we are going to form a regulation that allows us to act with legal support” advanced to THE PROFESSIONAL RADIO.
“Through this regulation, once the owner has been notified and that recounts on the same, it can be fined through the identity card so that when he is going to carry out a procedure to the intention, he has to pay that animal welfare fine for the irresponsible possession of his animal that is causing accidents and is not living in society like the other street dogs” Carlos Melo argued.
