“Beach for All” is the name that will receive this focus organized by PACMA with the goal of identifying space for pets on beaches in the summer season. The event will take place tomorrow, August 14, at 8:00 pm in the Plaza de Espana, right in front of the Rota City Hall.
The tour would end at La Costilla Beach after traveling the entire park as a protest and highlighting the problem they were condemning from PACMA and even from unorganized neighborhood groups. This would be another initiative to look into creating space, or rather allowing it, during the summer season for pets on beaches.
“More and more people are deciding to share their lives with dogs,” PACMA board member Javier Sanabria explains, urging management to adapt and expand the possibilities so that they can accompany their owners to the beaches. The situation is considered “outrageous,” with PACMA claiming that dogs can access or create designated areas for sandbanks, because, according to Sanpria, “there is no health report linking the presence of dogs on beaches with risks to people or those with health problems.” Only one hundred beaches allow access to pets out of more than three thousand in Spain.
Mobilization aims to reach a good number of participants to reflect that there are many who are calling for this event. In addition, in order to reach the largest number of citizens and turn them into future attendees, PACMA carries out the dissemination business on a large scale through posters and flyers. From August 14 to 20, the Animalista Party held a total of five more gatherings in five different cities such as: Gijón, Cadiz, Coruña, Barcelona and Las Palmas, to demand free access to the beaches of animals, especially dogs.
