Small minded people

I find it is quite outrageous that someone called Brian, put on a local forum that our office is engaged in nefarious activities regarding an up and coming dog show. He suggests that this is just a trap to ensnare people who have not got all the required paperwork for their dogs. First let me say that there is no trap and he is trying to undermine the event by printing such slanderous material. This Dog Show is for the public to enjoy and to show that there are Spanish animal welfare groups operating in our area. These groups are actively envolved in trying to rehome abandonned pets. They rely on donations to pay for vet bills and wherever possible, make no charge to the new owners. Unlike some others, who appear to run animal protection associations, as a business.
Secondly, I will say that it is still necessary,for reasons of public health and safety, to ensure your dogs are registered with the Town Hall. But neither we nor the local Police will be going around and demanding to see any documentation from the owners who put their dogs into the show.
I have since discovered that the Brian in question, is a friend of Mark Lewis, who is heavily involved in Pets in Spain.
I would like to diversify a little. Pauline Prior and several other have applied to register The Food for the needy of San Fulgencio as a proper charity, so that they can run events on their own, without having to rely on the kindness of local bars etc. to collect funds to buy food. Also contrary to rumour, I will not be taking on the role as President of the new Association, as I feel it would be wrong for a Councillor to do so as it could be seen as a conflict of interests.
