... and referring the sad cases of abuse that we, unfortunately, know of too often, I'd like to tell you that I'm collecting now signatures to press our Government to modify the penal code and include animal cruelty as a crime, instead of consider it a foul as it is the current situation.
A catalonian organization, Fundación Altarriba (http://www.altarriba.com) (sorry, as far as I've seen, the web is in Spanish and Catalán only!) has already gathered more than 600.000 signatures! It's quite a figure (at least for Spanish standards).
I've been pestering my relatives and colleagues at work :o ;) and I have now 20 signatures!! :) It's not a huge number, but I am really excited and happy about it - and just wanted to let you know!!! ;) :) I'm sure you'll get the same feeling that I have when talking about this so it's a pleasure for me to share this with all of you.
The other Spanish member (as far as I know!! :eek: ) of PT, koxka, may know better about this organization, as she lives in Catalunya! (I live in Seville, Andalucia, which stands quite far from it, and not only geographically, but also in their struggle for more advanced laws in lots of fields, not only animal abuse!)
Well, that's all, just wanted you to know and share the thrill I'm having!!!
