Santa Cruz mayor, Jose Manuel Bermudez, mentioned that following the foundations is crucial in guaranteeing well being in public areas.
“For that reason, we can not enable behaviour that impacts coexistence and generates well being issues within the metropolis,” he noticed.
Town’s public service councillor, Carlos Tarife, emphasised that the massive high quality was not the primary sanction towards the offender.
“It was the results of repeatedly breaking the regulation, regardless of earlier warnings,” he commented.
“The uncontrolled feeding of animals on public roads can result in well being issues and proliferation of pests, so it’s important to behave firmly.”
