"Palliative policies do not get us anywhere if we have not been betting on prevention and awareness to promote civic living and healthy coexistence between those who have and those who do not have dogs, and between those who drink and those who live in those spaces." Indicated the Councilor of Citizens, Ana Rama.

The Municipal Citizens Group in Cartagena is going to ask the municipal government to start as soon as possible two awareness campaigns, one on the obligation to collect excrement of dogs by their owners and another on the so-called bottle that promotes the Civics and coexistence among young people and become aware of the negative repercussions that this phenomenon entails.

The orange formation, which will present a motion in this regard in the next plenary session, wants both policies clearly to contain the rules governing these issues.

In spite of the establishment of the Animal Welfare Bureau in October 2015, which had among its objectives the creation of projects related to citizen awareness, and despite the establishment of the Table of the Covenant by Night, in April 2016, "we are still the same, neighborhood complaints for one and another issue continuously," said the Council of Citizens in Cartagena, Ana Rama, who believes that "palliative policies do not get us anywhere if we have not previously committed to prevention And awareness to promote civility and healthy coexistence between those who have and those who do not have dogs and between those who drink and those who inhabit those spaces. "

For Ana Rama, "these tables are not working at the right pace, the first one was to solve the issue of dirt caused by the feces of dogs in our parks and streets, and the second to combat the dirt generated by the bottle, among other issues , And more than a year later no specific action appears. "

According to the Councilor of Citizens, "Cartagena is a tourist city in whose municipality we live more than 200,000 people, and both neighbors and tourists continue to suffer the lack of preventive initiatives by the municipal government to avoid the dirt generated by the lack of citizenship of Who walk their dogs and do not collect their excrement and who drink in the street generating garbage, urine, or vomiting.
