The work is carried out jointly between different municipal areas. The objective of the registry is to make visible each of the people who currently live off animal-drawn traction as a work tool.
In the southern area of the city of Concordia, the TAS Registration and Census Program was launched. There, the census and data collection of the different TAS owners were carried out, which will feed the database.
The work is carried out jointly between different municipal areas. Likewise, what the registry seeks is to make visible each of the people who currently live off animal-drawn traction as a work tool.
In that sense, the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide, who accompanied the activity, stated: “It is a starting point to begin identifying a problem that we have had for a very long time, and just like what we do in the Relevar Program, it is a diagnostic procedure to identify horses and know where we stand. We can create a map of red zones, with a greater or lesser number of horses and the type of use given to the horse. There is a lot of information that will later serve to make decisions”, he exclaimed.
On the other hand, the head of the Municipal Veterinary Department Julio Gesualdi maintained that “we are conducting a census, registering the horses and placing a microchip, and we upload the identification data, both of the horse and the owner, to an application”, he outlined.
“The vast majority of those who work with horses and cannot legally prove ownership of that horse are 'holders'. We register those holders exactly the same way; we use the same methodology as for an owner, but the difference is that the municipality will have them fill out a paper form and they will have that form as a holder; it is not that they become an owner, but they will legally have the registration as a holder”, indicated Gesualdi.
CENSUS AND REGISTRATION DAYS
Regarding the days for the census and registration, the head of the Veterinary Department indicated that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Municipal Veterinary service will be conducting the census and registering equine owners and the animals themselves. In that sense, he stressed: “the idea is to be in each zone for a month where we have more or less identified where the vast majority of the horses that work with a cart are located".
