Barcelona, España. The deaths of Tibor and Pertama in 2025 mark the end of an era at the Barcelona zoo, which is redirecting its strategy toward the conservation of native species in a paradigm shift questioned by animal protection organizations.
Valencia, España. AnimaNaturalis has filed a formal request with Valencia City Council and the Valencian Regional Government warning that the announced presence of boas and emus, among other animals, directly contravenes the new national Animal Welfare Law.
Madrid, España. AnimaNaturalis has submitted formal objections to the Royal Decree being drafted by the Ministry of Social Rights, urging that facilities housing hunting dogs and packs (rehalas) be subject to the same welfare and regulatory standards as other pet zoological centers.
Madrid, España. Nearly two hundred organizations and thousands of citizens marched through downtown Madrid demanding the reinstatement of special protected status for the Iberian wolf, removed by Spanish Congress on March 20.
Madrid, España. Every year, over 50,000 dogs used for hunting are abandoned, mutilated, or killed in Spain after being deemed "useless" for hunting. While the European Parliament debates a historic law to protect dogs and cats, hunting lobbies are pushing to exclude these animals from any legal defense. How would you feel if your lifelong companion were discarded like a worthless object?
Madrid, España. We expose the horror hidden in the monterías, one of the most characteristic and perhaps most brutal modalities in Spain. The use given to dogs in this activity is prohibited in practically the entire European Union.
Madrid, España. During the years 2021-2022, AnimaNaturalis and CAS International documented 29 dog kennels used for hunting. During the investigation, we found animals living in their own excrement, with dirty or frozen water, exposed to inclement weather and with stereotypes produced by captivity.
Madrid, España. Sign our petition to demand that these dogs have the rights they deserve. Only you can put an end to this cruelty that the hunters want to hide.
