The following email arrived in my Inbox this morning. Please read and take the action requested. The suffering of this poor dog does not bear thinking about.
On Oct.2nd a dog that was supposedly a family member was cruelly killed in Guimar on one of Canary Islands Tenerife by a 16 years old boy by being stoned and beaten so long until the dog died.
The poor dog was a Podenco ( Spanish hunting dog ), people thought he was stray, he was so malnourished and looking absolutely neglected, but it was later found out that he was a family member( had a microchip ) and killed allegedly by the owner itself( the boy).
It was a cruel death - blood all over the body, eyes popped out, skull broken and crushed, the whole body wounded - the boy with bloody hands was just laughing and said the dog just killed a rabbit.
This case has been reported, police got involved and charges pressed against the juvenile already, but still many actions need to be taken, we cannot accept such cruelties, we should never visit countries where animal welfare issues are rather ignored by the authorities than being taken into consideration.

sample letter:
Estimados Sres.:
me dirigo a usted con esta carta para referirme al siguiente suceso:
El pasado 2 de Octubre, en el municipio de Guimar, Tenerife, se maltrató a un perro hasta su muerte. Según el Sr. Alcalde, Don Rafael Yanes, la Policia Local hizo las diligencias y está imputado un menor. El expediente ha sido enviado a la Fiscalia para Menores.
Yo he sido informada de todo esto por una Señora que vive en Tenerife y le agradeceria a Usted que hiciera todo que estuviera en su poder para publicarlo en la prensa con el claro mensaje que actuaciones como estas por supuesto deben ser perseguidas y castigadas por la ley e informar tambien sobre la penalizacion que va a tener este delito.
Desgraciademente a menudo nos llegan fotos y reportajes de este tipo. España es un pais maravilloso, tanta la peninsula como las islas canarias, pero yo no quisiera pasar unas vacaciones en un pais en el cual sucesos como estos no tuvieran un grito público como consecuencia. Esto daña su imagen como nación.
Por supuesto estaré atenta al transcurso del asunto.
Atentamente
Your name
Country
Please write, get as many people as possible to write, this is just such a sickening story. What wouldn't I like to do to the boy who did this!!!
