The story that gives rise to the complaint of Pacma It is tragic, but not isolated. Unfortunately for Lack of training and information, the police can fall into the ‘easy trigger’ When dealing with animals that are in trouble and that, scared and helpless, they can have an aggressive or evasive attitude.
This was the case of the dog who knows how it was seen in the middle of the Tarragona Highway and who certainly hunt for fear and despair, walked to the other on the road from one side. Apparently he tried to take it first, to prevent him from circulating, but because they couldn’t get it, One of the agents decided to reduce it with a shot with his regulatory weapon.
Pacma explains that If the police had the right training, they would know how to continue In this and in other cases where an animal is involved in problems, without reaching the extreme of killing, to end the problem.
Pacma asks for training on animals for the police
The PACMA -Earthy party is of the opinion that the “scarce or zero” training of safety forces comes in protection in cases such as Sunday in Tarragona, where A urban security officer shot a dog that ran on the A-7 highway on the A-7 highway.
«Loose Urban police are not instructed in the field of acting in adverse situations that imply the presence of animals. Sometimes they choose to use the faster and faster source, although this costs the life of the animal, which is also predictable in a situation that in itself is extremely stressful, “says Pacma National spokeswoman Yolanda Morales.
Morales points out that «We do not understand how these events will continue to take place in our country in 2025With a history of similar police actions and in many cases completely unjustified ». He says that “we understand the work of security forces for the security of citizens’ life, but we will never support the use of fatal methods in contexts that have alternative solutions.”
Pacma states that for police officers «to have notions about how to act, they must be better instructed, always by experts, to use weapons. The life of an animal must be appreciated, and when it is in such a delicate situationYou should help you get out with the greatest possible caution and sense.
In the case of Tarragona, a urban security officer shot a dog that was loose on the highway and “The endangered drivers”, because he moved from one side to the way to the other. After trying it without success, the police decided to reduce it. From Pacma they remember that in January there was a similar case in Granollers (Barcelona), the Mossos d’Esquadra married a wild boar who ‘just wanted to leave where he was and was disoriented’.
