The regional head of Agriculture and Councilman UPyD Murcia, José Antonio Sotomayor said after the location of 39 horses by the Guardia Civil in extreme malnutrition in a holding Mula "is incomprehensible how a horse farm of this size" you can implemented without the required regulatory approvals, and without being detected early on by the Ministry of Agriculture, "which is competent in this area", so asked for clarification of how it has been able to produce this situation

The regional councilor for Agriculture and Union Progreso y Democracia, José Antonio Sotomayor, laments that "the region is again on the cover of national news a sad event for animal abuse", which states that "urge harden once the penalties for neglect and abuse. "

As the mayor explained the formation of magenta, the Civil Guard in collaboration with the Animal Health Service of the Community, has located on a farm of 39 horses Mula in extreme malnutrition.

The farm in question apparently lacked authorization to operate as such, as it would not be registered in the Registry of Cattle in the Region of Murcia (REGA).

For Sotomayor "incomprehensible" how a horse farm of this size can be implemented without the required regulatory approvals "and without it being detected early on by the Ministry of Agriculture, which is competent in this area", so requested clarification of how it has been able to produce this.

It also stresses that this "shows the slow work of the Regional Assembly, which takes nearly three years to reform an Animal Protection Act of 1990".

In this sense, Sotomayor explained that the full City Council unanimously approved Murcia UPyD initiative urging the Autonomous Community to replace the current law is "completely outdated" toughening the penalties of neglect and abuse.

"Unfortunately we see that at this rate, the entire legislature will pass without taking any initiative to take measures to strengthen penalties for these crimes," he laments.

Finally, remember that the national government last a Framework Law on the protection of companion animals, precisely UPyD proposal.

The new law aims to reduce the dropout rate of pets and therefore upgrade the penalties for animal abuse and neglect, disabling offenders for possession, among other measures.
