The Municipal Citizens' Group has transferred to the chief prosecutor of the Environment Unit of the Attorney General of the State, Antonio Vercher, the superior prosecutor of the Region of Murcia, José Luis Díaz Manzanera, and the chief prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office Cartagena, Carmen de la Fuente Méndez, all the documentation that the orange formation has collected in recent months regarding the serious deficiencies and possible anomalies in public health and animal welfare in the municipality of Cartagena.
Among the information sent to the prosecutors, the Municipal Citizens' Group has included the arbitrary capture of felines in the Cerro del Molinete, in a controlled area and protected by a non-profit association that works in defense of the animals, and that was Presided over in the past by the Councilor of Citizens in the City of Cartagena, Ana Rama, known for his courageous work in defense of animals.
The Citizens' Group emphasizes the fact that these cats, as it could not be otherwise, were in perfect health, and that no inspection or sanitary controls have been carried out on another cat colony in The rest of the municipal term of Cartagena.
The training led by Citizen spokesman Manuel Padín fears that inappropriate decisions are being taken to intimidate and obstruct the work of control and control of the Municipal Group that promoted at the beginning of the legislature the Commission of Investigation of the Center of Reception for Domestic Animals (CATAD) after a multitude of complaints from individuals, and the Municipal Animal Welfare Board.
According to the Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "we feel helpless, frustrated and even intimidated by the local government and that is why we have been forced to give a part of what is happening to the prosecutor's offices specialized in these matters for their taking Consideration, it is our responsibility as public representatives to try to resolve this tremendous nonsense on such a sensitive subject.

Difficulties in obtaining information
In the documentation submitted to the prosecutor's offices, Citizens have also explained the difficulties they have in accessing the complaints received by the Regional Public Health Directorate, which apparently motivated CATAD's capture of cats, as well as Results of tests performed on these animals.
Possible legal breaches
The orange formation also mentions the refusal of the City of Cartagena to execute a plenary agreement to control the colonies of feral cats of the municipality, considering that it is not municipal competition and remembering incongruously an isolated focus of rabies in a dog Happened in Toledo in 2012, which, in the opinion of Cs Cartagena, generated an unnecessary social alarm.
Citizens also denounce that the local Administration does not have an updated census of animals in the municipality, as required by the current Law on Protection and Defense of Companion Animals in the Region of Murcia, and as also included in the Municipal Ordinance On Protection and Holding of Domestic Animals.
For the Municipal Group, the omission of these duties by the local Executive not only causes the urban animal census to be uncontrollable, but also prevents a systematized and proportionate sanitary inspection of the feline colonies of the municipality, since, as already mentioned, only Appears to be in places already monitored by an animal association.
Barring in working groups and research committee

There is also the circumstance that the investigated themselves attend the research sessions which, according to Citizens, supposes a condition that disturbs and blocks a process of deliberation that should be absolutely independent and free.
