Bags full of dog and other animal bones found in a cave in Formentera

PalmThe Formentera Council has reported to the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Civil Guard the discovery of several bags containing the skeletal remains of dogs and other animals found inside a rocky cavity in the Cabo area of Formentera. According to a statement from the island institution, an environmental agent located the remains and alerted both animal health technicians and Civil Guard investigators. Following an initial inspection, veterinary services confirmed that the remains are dog bones in a state of decomposition, which apparently were deposited there years ago. Other waste of various kinds was also found at the same location, including bags containing the remains of about twenty animals. Now, according to information provided by the Council, Seprona will be in charge of conducting the investigation to clarify the origin and circumstances of this illegal dumping. The island council has reiterated the importance of properly managing animal waste to preserve the territory and guarantee the island's health and environmental safety.
