The panel were discussing the
mutilation of the 15 dogs whose front legs were amputated without anestaesia
by unknown cruel perverts. The task of the panel was to amend Spanish legislation concerning animal rights. |
|
The ammendment was overruled by the Spanish Governement. The result is that animal abuse is still not punishable by law. |
