Target: Mercedes González, Director General, Guardia Civil, Spain
Goal: Investigate the alleged abandonment of four skeletal mastiffs in windowless rooms and refer substantiated cruelty offenses for prosecution.
Behind a villa’s doors, four mastiffs were allegedly left among waste and debris until their bodies became skeletal. The supplied account places the animals in windowless basement rooms on the Costa del Sol. It describes weeks without adequate food or care, followed by rescue and treatment.
The account alleges severe muscle wasting, internal parasites, and psychological distress. It also claims that a former tenant left the country before the discovery. Investigators must determine who controlled the property and had responsibility for the dogs during the relevant period.
Distance should not prevent a properly supported animal cruelty case from progressing. Ask the Guardia Civil to confirm the incident, establish each animal’s condition and care arrangements, and pursue prosecution wherever the investigation demonstrates criminal abandonment or deprivation.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director General González,
Four dogs allegedly were confined in windowless rooms without sufficient sustenance, and require urgent protection. Confirming their present location and medical needs should accompany any effort to determine how they came to be in that condition. We ask investigators to establish a reliable timeline through property records, witness accounts, communications, and clinical findings.
Where sufficient evidence identifies an offender, refer the case for prosecution and use lawful cross-border cooperation if necessary. Provide prosecutors with the veterinary documentation needed to seek proportionate penalties and appropriate restrictions on keeping animals. Please ensure that protective care continues while responsibility is resolved. These dogs deserve a response that combines immediate welfare, a sound investigation, and meaningful consequences for any proven cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
