On October 6, the SEPRONA Neighborhood Patrol investigated two people for a continued crime of animal abuse and/or animal abandonment, for having two dogs in a private home in
precarious state, presenting extreme severe thinness, in the municipality of Ingenio.
The investigation was initiated by SEPRONA as a result of citizen collaboration, which brought to the attention of the Civil Guard some images of a dog in terrible physical conditions on the roof of a house in the town of Carrizal, which motivated the inspection by the agents.

a person other than the one who resides at home and the other dog does not have a chip.
