Abandoned and abused animals
Help the animals of Madeira! Please
The aim of this letter is to point out that this problem exists and that many people are unhappy about it, and to request from the Regional Government of Madeira an extensive neutering programme of cats and dogs with or without owners.
We need to feel and see cooperation between veterinary clinics, associations, private people, the Government and others. This is something, which does not happen these days because everyone%u2019s boundaries and interests are put before the interests of animals, even before the population as a whole.
The Government would have to take the lead and coordinate a dramatic reduction of the reproduction rate of cats and dogs as their sole objective. Once this is in place proper controls must be enforced.
Apart from this request, we also ask the Government to enforce the application of the animal protection laws, which already exist in our legislation but are hardly applied. To this end the town councils and the village councils could act for the population and record, control and register all existing animals. I believe that with the help of volunteers, of which there would be many, these bodies could carry out this work with little extra cost.
Thank you
Natália Vieira
