Last Saturday more than 400 protestors marched on the town of Bacarot to call for an end to the cruel treatment of cats in the town and throughout Alicante province.
The march took place after a large number of dead cats were collected from the town by the Sociedad Protectora De Animales y Plantas De Alicante. Autopsies revealed that the cats had been poisoned and brutally beaten to death.
The protest was organised by the Protectora De Animales De Alicante and the Plataforma Global Para La Protección De Los Animales.
Hundreds of street cats die every year in Alicante province due to poisoning. In a bid to stop this, the Protectora De Animales De Alicante has launched a campaign calling for the restriction of the sale of poison in Spain. Already 1500 signatures in support of the campaign have been collected and the goal is to collect a total of 100,000.
The petition can be signed at the animal sanctuary outside Bacarot, just off the A79 and very close to El Pantio golf course. Or a copy of the petition can be sent to you via email so that you can sign or collect signatures.
