A hug between species
Summary
Spain, historically linked to animals, faces significant challenges with animal abandonment and overexploitation. Millions of animals are slaughtered annually, suffering from diseases, injuries, and stress due to unsuitable breeding environments. However, dedicated groups, foundations, and sanctuaries rescue abused animals, creating shelters and recovery centers. Driven by volunteers, their efforts go beyond rehabilitation, advocating for animal rights and fighting speciesism. The goal is to raise awareness of responsible ownership and reduce overproduction to improve animal quality of life.
Spain, a country historically linked to animals, is currently one of the leading European territories in their abandonment and overexploitation, presenting troubling challenges for those looking after their well-being.
Millions of animals are slaughtered annually for human benefit, many of them consequently suffering from diseases, injuries and stress due to their breeding in unsuitable environments.
However, there are groups dedicated to eradicating this exploitation. Foundations and sanctuaries rescue animals that are victims of abuse and create shelters and recovery centers. This effort, driven by volunteers, goes beyond simple rehabilitation, including the defense of their rights and the fight against speciesism.
The prevention of this exploitation is not the only objective. Recognizing the emotional ties between humans and animals, it seeks to raise awareness of responsible ownership and reduce overproduction to improve their quality of life
