The council announced this Thursday the creation, at the proposal of the Canary Coalition-Canary Nationalist Party (CC-PNC), of a plan of beaches for dogs in Tenerife for the purpose of enabling spaces for pets on the coast of Isla. According to the note, the island corporation will have an economic item to support the municipalities in the work of adaptation, equipment and signage.
Likewise, it will study the implementation of a computer application that collects the necessary information to attend the future canine beachessuch as its services and rules of use, among other aspects.
A piece of information that yesterday provoked the indignation of the Tenerife animal activist Cristo Gil, who declared to DIARIO DE AVISOS that “it’s a lie” because from the Cabildo “they are not going to do anything at all.”
Also the founder of Orion Animal Rescue Brigade It has been 8 years trying to agree with the City Council, whose government group is also CC, that a part of Las Teresitas beach allows the entry of dogs. In fact, in January 2020 it collected more than 7,000 signatures for it: “I have met with the refugee councilor from Ciudadanos, Evelyn Alonso, and Carlos Tarife, as head of Animal Welfare, on several occasions and they do not agree to enable anything ; If they hadn’t already done it.”
Gil advocates a bounded and prepared area of about 100 square meters in the sandbank of santacrucero so that citizens with pets can enjoy the space. His proposal, as he maintains, would boost the economy of the place: “At the time, we talked to the kiosk vendors and they also agreed.”
The animalista assures that “this type of proposal occurs every four years, coinciding with the next elections, with the aim of obtaining votes from the society that has a pet.” “Let them stop lying and laughing at citizens once and for all,” he concludes.
