"ANIMALS DO NOT ADAPT TO CONDITIONS OF CONTINUOUS SUFFERING"

"They not only suffer the parade where they have to endure all kinds of adversities, but they also suffer when they are transferred from one place to another, a transport that is not always carried out in the best conditions," they add.

Nueva Canarias is committed to not using animals for the Three Kings Parades. "From our political organization we do not understand how it is possible that there is a ban on circuses with animals in Arrecife, an initiative promoted by the citizen movement in 2015, and today we continue with Three Kings Parades subsidized with public money, where dromedaries and horses parade," they say from the formation.

According to the nationalist formation, "having animals for the entertainment of people is an issue that fortunately is increasingly taken into account by the different public administrations. Thanks to the various animal-friendly associations and the population in general, in recent years it has been possible to put on the table an issue that in other parts of the Spanish state is no longer questioned."

From NC they recall that "cities like Madrid, Valencia, Cádiz or Zaragoza have more than overcome it, if we get the support of the citizens in these local elections of 2019, the next Three Kings Parade 2020 of Arrecife will not have more animals"

"Animals do not adapt to conditions of continuous suffering in which they are exposed such as encounters, lights, flyers, music at full volume etc... Animals not only suffer the parade where they have to endure all these adversities for hours, but they also suffer when they are transferred from one place to another, a transport that is not always carried out in the best conditions." they add.

"There are several reports from experts in the field that confirm this, the stress they experience can lead to death, not having them in these shows is not a capricious decision, it is a fair decision. An example of this is the situation experienced in a municipality in Tenerife during the celebration of the Three Kings Parade this year, where a dromedary, due to stress, could not continue with the parade," they say.

Finally, they point out that "it is the obligation of everyone to look for alternatives to enrich a party, in which we are sure that by educating and with the appropriate information we will reach a common agreement."
