Equine welfare and theft in Argentina and Spain

Overview

Reports have emerged regarding equine welfare and theft in Argentina and Spain.

In Argentina, police in Campo Quijano investigated the theft of a horse and its tack near the Gauchito Gil shrine. While the animal was recovered, the equipment had been dismantled and distributed among local residents. One suspect was detained following the recovery of various items from different homes.

In Spain, authorities in Moaña discovered two horses, including a foal, with their legs tied in the Xaxán forest using ropes or traps. The Guardia Civil’s Seprona unit attempted to intervene, but the animals fled into steep terrain. Local welfare groups noted that such practices violate the Animal Welfare Law, though identifying owners is complicated by a lack of identification chips.
