The lack of effective enforcement of the law against
animal abuse throughout the world is well recognized
by most people. Spain is certainly not exception to
the rule by far. Localized individual cruelty inflicted
to innocent animals happens much too often, one of the
problems being that no law and punishment is implemented
to the ones who do such mentally unstable purely cruel
acts.
Recent Machiavellian events in the province of Tarragona,
Spain, have triggered several number of national
and international organizations and individuals
to join together into forcing the Spanish Communities
that still do not have a protection of animals
law to pass one, as nobody rushed to reform the
protection laws in those Communities where such
legislation exists to stop them from being a milestone
of inefficiency.
This action was in principle only to be nationally
organised but due to overwhelming support from many
international organisations, the association made an
effort to make it understandable for non-Spanish speakers.
