Yes, you're probably right Dario. Too many people can't be bothered to complain and many use the language barrier as an excuse not to do so.
Podemos has certainly tried to.make a law to.protect animals. To their credit, they wanted to extend the animal cruelty protection to include hunting dogs but in order to get the law approved, had to.make certain amendments in this area due to protests from mostly Vox and the PP and to some extent PSOE also, many of whom represent rural areas, for fear of losing votes if the law was enforced to include working animals. The law is a little strange in certain areas as.it includes such animals as rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and budgies to name a few, on the forbidden list to keep as pets, but generally speaking at least it's a step in thr right direction.
Yet I do feel that many country people here, even young ones, need to be taught to respect animals more. but gradually in time better education will.play a part in improving the consciousness of future generations.
