The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed an investigation to clarify a case of animal abuse in Mazarrón in which three dogs of a farm were victims of the shooting of some people, which has resulted in the identification, location and investigation of two hunters, who have been instructed as alleged perpetrators of crimes related to the protection of flora, fauna and pets, for animal abuse.
The Benemérita began the proceedings at the end of last October, when a citizen denounced that three dogs he had in his farm in Mazarrón had suffered injuries by firearms, apparently by several people who were practicing the hunting sport of The hunt.
Civil guards of the Nature Protection Service took charge of the investigation in order to clarify the facts and identify their authors.
The first inquiries made it possible to verify that two of the dogs owned by the complainant had suffered injuries after being hit by leads from hunting cartridges, as noted in the veterinary and radiological report, in large part of his body.
Apparently, there was a third dog that is still missing and it is presumed that it could also have been hit by the shots.
As a result of the operation, the Civil Guard was able to identify two people, fans of hunting hunting, who are allegedly after the authorship of the facts investigated and who, after obtaining all the necessary evidence, have been investigated.
Those investigated, who have been instructed as alleged perpetrators of crimes related to the protection of flora, fauna and domestic animals, for animal abuse, along with the proceedings, have been made available to the Court of Instruction of Totana (Murcia).
