Friends of the Earth Foundation contacted the facilities of the Sabana Panaca, in order to make an inspection to this place and check the status of the animals present, this type of operational control that we do routinely in all places where animal management, these actions are performed for the benefit of those covered by the provisions of Act 84 of year 89. Panaca For not only was making a routine operational control, became the basis of allegations that the conditions of confinement that are kept dogs which have high levels of stress seen in stereotyped behaviors similar to those of animals in circuses.

To our surprise we were not allowed the inspection and only came out to greet the head of security Mr Mayor Mora, who told us that day was the only security personnel, the security chief Lord treated us very kindly suggested we go another days and even offered us free tickets to the income of the Foundation staff and guests, so we had to clarify that our presence alone had reason to seek welfare.


By challenging than it was possible that only security personnel found and people were not responsible for the care of animals, the same Mr. Mora was also assured us that the manager and that I lived there. We do not understand how one person can feed, provide water and maintain hygienic conditions to over 2400 advertising animals Panaca in advertising, not made clear there is not as a veterinarian at least 24 hours to address this issue animals.


We left worried and willing to make sure things do not go without the care they deserve, for example did not understand if the dogs are stressed by confinement to the point of moral suffering, how on a calm day in which there are no public removed from their cages and given humane treatment, What is happening in Panaca?
