DATABASE OF THE WORST MUNICIPAL, PRIVATE DOG POUNDS UNDER CONTRACT BY THE TOWN HALLS AND PSEUDO SOCIETIES OF PROTECTION OF ANIMALS THAT ACT AS PAID DOG AND CAT SLAUGHTER HOUSES FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES.
The authorities generally do not control or supervise the condition of the animals.
The public often has no access to the animals.
There are ethical, more effective, cost efficient alternatives to dealing with the problem of homeless animals, but these municipalities are not interested, preferring to pay ruthless operators that act as pest control outfits.

This dog pound calls itself a “shelter” and it looks very attractive, but in reality is just a well disguised slaughter house for great numbers of animals. Mr. Mérida is expanding his business and gets contracts with other municipalities, currently trying to take over Cuenca city.

Centro Canino la Pinada, director Vicente Ferré
Authorized as canine residence, breeder and training centre. Núcleo Zoológico V-102. It cannot legally pick up strays, although the government allows it.
It is the main extermination centre in the Valencia province. Many municipalities contract the services of this company to deal with the stray animals even though it breaks the Animal Protection legislation. Some of those municipalities are: PAIPORTA, BENETUSSER, ALFAFAR, CATARROJA, PICASSENT,ALDAYA, ALACUÁS (ALAQUÁS), SAN ANTONIO DE BENAGEBER, CULLERA, LLIRIA, LA POBLA DE VALLBONA, TAVERNÉS, CHESTE, FAVARA, BENAGUACIL, RIBARROJA, SEDAVI, GUARDARDAMAR, ALCACER, BUÑOL, LA ELIANA, OLOCAU, MARINES, ETC.

SEVILLA Sociedad Protectora de Animales y Plantas de Sevilla (S.P.A.P.S.)
President Pedro Luis Fernández Castillo.
Pseudo society for the protection of animals. It is merely an extermination centre under contract of a high number of Councils. They have been denounced repeatedly for all sorts of irregularities in the last 11 years to no avail. The animals receive no veterinarian treatment and get killed with anectine, which causes a painful, cruel death. Feeding is also very inadequate. The pound authorities get plenty of funding to care for the animals properly in every way, but they do not spend any of the resources on them, making one wonder where all the money goes, exactly. They are not interested in giving the animals to adopters, put a lot of obstacles in their way and do not allow for photos of the animals to be taken by the volunteers that try to help finding homes for them.

company that is also in charge of the capture and extermination of stray dogs, this done illegally, as they lack the permit to do it (Núcleo Zoológico) The animals are treated like garbage, piled up in filthy tiny cages where they cannot move or stand up, in many cases. Needless to say injured and sick animals get no veterinarian treatment. In spite of the extreme conditions the animals have to endure before their death (of which we have no witnesses, a worrying matter) the illegality in which they operate and the countless complaints, the municipal authorities have never intervened.

PALENCIA- Asociación Protectora Amigos de los Animales
Juan Villalba President dog pound.
False “shelter” for animals that operates as a simple extermination centre. The president kills the animals himself although he has no veterinarian qualifications and has been denounced by the VeterinarianCollege with no positive results. They put obstacles in the adoption of animals by genuine animal lovers but make a “gift” of them to hunters and nasty people. They kill the animals without regard for their adoptability, age or character and are habitually negligent in the security and care of the dogs and cats they are supposed to protect.
