Disgusting behaviour

On Sunday, I was disgusted by the behaviour of Councillor Lewis. 
While I was down in San Fulgencio Village, taking part in the Remembrance Day service, he decided to pay a visit to the area of the Dog Show. Which may I say, was attended and supported, by a large number of people.
He approached several people and distributed leaflets, which stated, that what was occurring, was a “Council Sham”. He even upset several people and brought one of them to tears with his brand of vicious vitriolic lies. He stated that all the abandoned animals on display would be collected by the Council and the Police and would be dead in six days. What a lie this was.
 All these animals were under the care of fosterers and would remain so, until permanent homes could be found for them. He also stated that none of the other animal organisations on the Urbanisation had been approached to take part in the dog show. This is also a tissue of lies. Every organisation for animals on Marina Oasis was contacted. Both K9 and SATS, gladly displayed the posters, but were unable to provide volunteers for a free stall or a selection of dogs for adoption, as Sunday, is a day that many volunteers are involved in walking and looking after the abandoned dogs and for kennel maintenance. 
Pets in Spain were contacted but declined to get involved. 
In fact, I was in the office when a representative of Pets in Spain came in and I overheard this person being informed of the Dog Show and they were offered a stall and an opportunity to bring some dogs, by one of the office staff.
While I am on about Pets in Spain, let me tell about an incident that happened over the summer. A Spanish gentleman came to our office, stating that a stray dog had wandered into his garden and he could not get it to go away. I contacted several of the animal charities on La Marina and was informed that they had no room at their kennels or fosterers available at that moment. I contacted Councillor Lewis, on the Pets in Spain number. He stated, "That is your problem not mine. I am not interested; go speak to your friends at K9". He continued by saying, "I am driving at this moment and I don’t even want to speak to you". The dog was eventually collected by the Police and removed to Cereco.
I have to ask, was this because it was me, as he obviously has a bee in his bonnet about being put out of the Council, or is it a true sign of the type of person he really is? I could go on and tell you about some of the bully boy tactics he got up to, to me and my wife, prior the formal election of the new government team. But he would only deny it. But I know what he did and so does my wife. One thing is evident; he is not my "Buddy" and never will.
As far as abandoned dogs are concerned , we do our best to contact the various animal rescue organisations, in order to rehome them. The latest was when 4 puppies were dumped in the nearby waste bins. We took them into the office and to the vets to be examined. We were able to have them taken by one of the Spanish dog rescue organisations and all four are now adopted and have gone to permanent homes.
