Eradicate blood traction of horses

Alicia Gutiérrez's bill prohibits animal blood traction in Santa Fe, Argentina, and provides for the reconversion of the informal waste collection system, promoting the replacement of horses with other means of transportation, while providing for the granting of assistance and training for workers in the sector. The general objective is to develop a strategy that tackles this problem in an integrated and coordinated way, in order to improve the quality of life of people and to protect animals from abuse.

"The use of horses to perform informal collection and other activities puts workers and workers at risk, as well as third parties involved, while bringing serious problems in transit," Gutiérrez explained. "It is necessary to generate decent living conditions for the families that live off this and eliminate blood traction. That is why we formulate a comprehensive plan for the entire province, which must have the commitment and commitment of communes and municipalities, "he said.

The regulation, which seeks to eradicate the mistreatment and exploitation of animals, was developed in conjunction with members of protectionist organizations in the province. These have denounced on numerous occasions the poor sanitary conditions in which the horses are found: many are over-demanded, being loaded with a lot of weight and poorly fed, which can lead to death.
