They're asking you not to do the Leioa animal trawl tests
"Leioa contra el Maltrato Animal" has reported "irregularities" in the Asto Trials held in the town in August, including "the use of 700 kilograms of stone, the use of sticks to hit donkeys, and the failure of judges to intervene in the face of obvious signs of animal suffering."
The group 'Leioa contra el Maltrato Animal 'has asked the Basque Federation of Basque Games and Sports (Herri Kirolak) not to carry out stone tests such as' Asto Probak 'because they involve' physical and psychological abuse of the current animal welfare regulations'.
In a letter sent to the Federation, the representatives of the Subgroup Ruben Belandia and Lola have also denounced the "irregularities" observed in the Asto Trials in Leioa in August, including "the use of 700 kilograms of stone, the use of sticks to hit donkeys, and the failure of judges to intervene in the face of obvious signs of animal suffering".
They also warn of the presence of minors "in a violent spectacle and of bets with possible irregularities, including minors".
The group supports its complaints in veterinary reports that "reveal the pain, stress and fatigue suffered by animals in these competitions" and recalls that the Basque Law 9/2022 recognizes animals as "sensitive beings".
He has therefore called for animal testing to be replaced by "stone and human tests (human tests), following the example of the Navarre Federation of Rural Sports." "You cannot talk about tradition when suffering is perpetuated," says the group, which advocates "removing animal abuse from customs."
The 'Leioa contra el maltrato animal' initiative has called for a meeting with the Basque Federation of Herri Kirolak to address the reported facts and to move "towards the disappearance of these practices".
