Organized by the Veterinary Department of the Municipality of Concordia, a talk on animal rights was held, featuring prominent speakers who discussed the regulations governing at the national, provincial, and local levels.
Mayor Francisco Azcué remarked that these types of actions “serve to bring us together, exchange perspectives, and build together. From the municipal government, we are carrying out various programs that not only involve animals but also aim to work with residents to change some paradigms that have existed for many years and were contrary to welfare, health, and protection.”
“We are aware that there are complexities because, in many aspects, the city has grown in recent years without order or direction, bringing consequences that cannot be changed overnight, but we are convinced that this is the path,” affirmed Azcué.
For her part, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza recalled that since the beginning of the administration, work has been done on various regulations aimed at the care of animals in the city. “We aim for these ordinances not only to remain within the framework of animal rights but also to be part of citizens' rights, because we must work to live in an orderly society in line with the times we are going through.”
Julio Gesualdi, head of the Municipal Veterinary Department, highlighted that “these types of talks are very important tools to continue working on public policies regarding the welfare of animals in general in Concordia,” thanking the support of the different sectors of the community for each regulation promoted by the administration to achieve that goal.
The event was attended by Drs. Juliana D´Arrigo, Cecilia Domínguez, and Fernando Di Benedetto, lawyers specializing in animal law. The professionals addressed topics based on Law No. 14.346, judicial rulings in Entre Ríos, and action protocols in the province.
Present were National Deputy Nancy Ballejos; Provincial Deputy Carola Laner and Councilman Felipe Sastre, municipal officials, representatives and members of animal protection organizations, intermediate institutions, professionals, and the general public.
