If you have pets, especially dogs, please be aware of the fact that Peurto Penasco has gone back to electrocuting 'pest' dogs and cats through genital probes! Therefore, if your pet, especially dogs, run loose and off leash and do not return to you when you call them, they may be picked up by the city's dog catchers. Be aware!
 
Who are you kidding...Penasco has dog catchers? :rofl: :rofl: They would spend every hour of the day and night rounding up strays in town if they did!

I doubt seriously that Penasco would go out of it's way to antagonize tourists!

And if you were possibly referring to our own residednt "dog" on here....he has been very well behaved as of late!!!:moon:

Joe they do have dog catchers and they have been taking the dogs to Nancy at the Animal Adoption center... but I haven't heard anything about them being cruelly destroyed as gunnar mentioned...

Well, they must have about 1 dog catcher for every 50,000 stray dogs in Penasco!!!:stir:

Although Mark, I will admit that I'm seeing fewer strays around town then I remember a couple of years ago.....probably somewhat of a result of fewer tourists in town feeding them scraps....

re. caution

The dogs with red collars are taken to a local animal adoption agency, when there is space; otherwise, the original statement stands, as barbaric as it is.

The police shocked the hell out of my brother in laws tallywacker to get him to talk so it doesn't surprise me that they use it on animals.

Ladyjeeper, mistreatment of any animals is uncalled for, I cant even kill a mouse. I dont know what they used to inject the dogs and cats with but I understand it was extremly a long and painful death. if they are electrocuting the animals it may be no worse than our electric chair.10 years ago I invited a contractor from San Luis to fish with me out at 51 we caught 3 black sea bass and he started pouring tequila in their eyes and I about knocked him overboard.

I can't kill anything either. What was the purpose of tequila in the eyes? This thread is really bumming me out.......
 
They used to use either pentathol or phenobarbital (? Sp) and neither of them was slow or painful. The animal just went to sleep. This is a fact as I worked many years for a Veterinarian. I believe the cities used a vacuum chamber and I know nothing about that method. I would have to think it also had to be humane.

Maybe in the states but I think somebody caused a big ruckus about what they were using. If it were that simple why wouldn't they still be doing it ? It has to be easier than probing for a wet spot to conduct electricity.

I hate to see any cruelty to any animal. but to see all the animals that are starving and dieing in the streets that tears me up more. Somebody has to do somthing or disease will start to spread from the decay of these animals. So what is better a controled means of thinning the heard or going the other way and cause many more problems?
