"An urgent measure must be taken in relation to tourists who come here and adopt cats from tourist complexes. They obtain falsified documents from veterinarians so they can take the cats to their country of origin very quickly.
Of course, it's a wonderful thing that tourists who come to Lanzarote want to adopt a poor, defenseless creature that doesn't have a home, but what if, just if, they are taking our beloved pet with them, which we are desperately looking for?
Apart from Great Britain and Ireland, the period for identification by chip and rabies vaccination for Germany, Holland and France is 21 days (3 weeks). Before that, cats cannot leave Lanzarote to go abroad. These three weeks are also given so that owners who have lost their pet have the opportunity to find their beloved cat.
If there are veterinarians who falsify dates and documents so that cats can fly from Lanzarote the next day, this fact leaves the legitimate owner with no possibility of recovering their pet, in case it was seeking shelter in a tourist complex.
Isn't there something that can be done about it? These veterinarians who do things illegally must be identified and penalized. Because not only are they violating the Law, but their actions are also killing any possibility that we, the owners who are looking for our lost pet, can reunite with it again."
