The technical meeting, aimed at political representatives and technical staff, generated significant interest in understanding how to apply current legislation at the municipal level. The session included presentations by experts such as Ruth Manzanares, co-author of the state animal protection law, and Maria Marques-Banque, a professor of Criminal Law at the URV.
The presentations delved into the regulatory framework and addressed practical questions from attendees, fostering an exchange of experiences regarding the actions of local councils in managing these animals.
The event concluded with a meeting between the Centre d’Acollida d’Animals Domèstics (CAAD Penedès) and cat protection associations from the region, to share perspectives and challenges from the viewpoint of administrations and animal welfare entities.
Through this initiative, the Mancomunitat Penedès-Garraf, via the CAAD Penedès, reinforces its commitment to animal welfare and the training of municipalities to improve the management of feline colonies in the region.
