On September 6, a group composed of members of the Friends of the Earth Foundation and the Ecological and Environmental police conducted a raid control stores devoted to the sale of pets in the Avenida Caracas.


Traditionally the pet trade in this sector of the town of Chapinero of the Colombian capital, where aquarium enthusiasts find great variety of fish in rivers, lakes and even sea, but has long presented irregularities in establishments where sold sick animals, protected species and under conditions which violate the natural rights of animals, as well as animal protection legislation.


We note the continuing lack of control by government agencies and the unawareness of the "good citizens" who see the irresponsible breeding of animals an economical alternative. It was a scene of great religious contrast, octogenarian, neat and Santa who bargained the sale of a litter of dogs Rott Weiler, traders offered only sixty thousand per puppy, there was no agreement, it is mounted with its escorts to the truck and went to find another market, meanwhile came a couple carrying a cardboard box tied with a twine and inside a litter of Cocker dogs, do not expect to see if they had more success than the nun, we hope to succeed with the entity having the competence to control the uncontrolled reproduction and sale of pets.
