Animalists request the suspension of the 'jewelry runs' in Pinedo due to the extreme heat

VALENCIA, 12 Aug. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The National Association for the Protection and Well-being of Animals (ANPBA) has requested the suspension of the 'corregudes de joies' scheduled from August 15 to 17 on the beach of Pinedo de València due to the wave of "extreme heat" and with in order to "guarantee the well-being" of the horses that participate in them.

In some letters addressed to the councilors of the City Council José Luis Moreno and Santiago Ballester and to the local mayoress, Cristina Peris, ANPBA reasons that this August "temperatures are being reached in the Valencian Community that exceed any previous record, aggravated by the lengthening of heat waves and heat waves caused by anthropogenic climate change".

For this reason, the animal rights group, in a statement, has considered it "evident" that in the aforementioned "extreme" weather conditions the modality of 'corregudes de Joies' "could subject horses to states of unpredictable physical suffering and emotional stress".

A circumstance that, he warns, "could seriously compromise his well-being." In addition, she recalls "the risks and possible damage that are latent in the horse-high temperature equation, especially if they are subjected to a sporting activity of a certain intensity."

ANPBA cites article 333 bis of Law 17/2021, which modifies the Civil Code, and attributes to animals, in general, "the legal category of living beings endowed with sensitivity", and remarks that this principle "must govern the interpretation of all our legal system", which is why "the rights and faculties that man attributes to himself over animals must be exercised taking into account the well-being and protection of the animal".

For this reason, ANPBA has asked the competent municipal authorities that, as a matter of urgency, they proceed to suspend the 'corregudes de joies' scheduled in Pinedo from Tuesday 15 to Thursday 17 August on the occasion of their patron saint festivities.
