Total indignation

Agapito speaks out against mistreatment of animals:  Citizen Council sworn in

Reitera Agapito que no solapará maltrato a los animales: Instalan consejo


Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 5 de noviembre.-   Wednesday morning the General Law for Animal Welfare was signed, and the Citizen Council for Animal Welfare & Care was sworn in at the City Hall. The document was signed by the Mayor, Agapito Sanchez Magana, the State Secretary of Ecology & Environment, Rafael Antonio Muñoz Berzunza; Louisa Torrington Sánchez (no title given); Alderman Víctor Osorio and the municipal Director of Urban Development and the Environment, José Villanueva Vargas. This agreement aims to foster better conditions for animals and to ensure their control for a clean and healthy township. 
    The Mayor reiterated the commitment he made during his campaign concerning the control of strays in the streets and to improve the environment of the animals on the island. He expressed concern about the unfortunate event that became known thru social media, and said that the personnel involved are under investigation and will be made available to the relevant authorities.
     "We did not participate and are not complicit with anyone; and we are as outraged as all the people who protect the animals," said the Mayor. He said the City government has all its doors open, and now that this has occurred, no NGO will be left out (Non Governmental Organization). He said everyone  should be committed to working together to care and protect living things.
      Sr. Munoz Burzunza said this is a process, as it is with state authorities, to form partnerships with the NGO's to work together to provide proposals and initiatives, and now it is necessary to help them, and society. He urged the community of Isla Mujeres to generate innovative plans that respect and reflect this Animal Welfare Law. 
     Officials attending the event included Joaquín Poot Acosta, Police Chief (Director of Public Safety & Transport); Tarhin Sadat, Director of Health; and José de Jesús Gonzales, NGO president, among others. Members of various NGOs attended, as well as the general public, and students from the Middle School “Presidente Benito Juárez”.

Medio centenar de trabajadores se queja de maltratos y discriminación



There was a demonstration by about 50 workers of the five star Aluxes hotel for about five hours, who claimed their superiors treat them in a manner that is rude and discriminatory, which ultimately becomes harassment. The strikers included kitchen workers, bartenders, waiters, maids, and general maintenance workers. The straw that broke the camel's back was when one of the bosses was visibly intoxicated, and his associate simply said he could go home and rest, without doing anything against this behavior.  .
   The employees said if this happens with the laboring workers, they are terminated immediately and completely, even if they are not drunk and only have the smell of alcohol on their breath. They say the bosses are of Spanish nationality and think they are superior to the Mexican workers. The protesting workers were asking for the dismissal of two of the Spanish bosses.
    They returned to work after the five hour event, conditionally, after negotiations with their union representatives and the hotel representatives. An agreement was made to respond to the employees on Thursday, November 6 regarding their demand to fire the two bosses.

Del municipio, con la ciudad de Pensacola, Florida

Lanrry PARRA
Yesterday a "Sister Cities" agreement was signed with Pensacola, Florida, and in previous years the Island had done this with Havana, Cuba. Agapito Magaña Sanchez, mayor, led the inauguration and said the twinning helps to consolidate Isla Mujeres as a great tourist destination with a strong sense of historical identity, friendliness and warmth.
   The general secretary of the municipal government; Jose Jesus Castillo Magaña said Isla Mujeres is no stranger to the processes of economic integration and globalization taking place today on the world stage. He stressed that rather than compete, both cities will be complemented by having a common goal of generating economic development, and thereby improving the welfare of their residents.
   The Committee is composed of hoteliers, restauranteurs, golf cart agency owners, and others. The event was held in the City Council room, and some of the officials attending include Fidel Villanueva, muncipal union representative; Almirante Juan Ramón Alcalá Pignol, comandante of the Quinta (Fifth) Región Naval of Isla Mujeres; aldermen José del Carmen Magaña Guale, Víctor Osorio, y Gustavo Rodríguez Orozco, director of Tourism.

Complaint against city personnel for killing a dog
Images were circulating on social networks of a dog that was electrocuted by personnel of the municipal Department of Ecology, generating great indignation. Representatives of the  Comité de Cuidado y Defensa Animal, (Committee for Animal Defense and Care), filed criminal charges on Monday against Pedro Canché Cardeña, Josué Israel Hau Cen, Adrián Magaña Cahuich and the Director of the municipal Ecology Department, Cristina Medina Figueroa. 
        According to the complaint, this act of cruelty occurred to a dog named "Lucky" on October 28 at 7pm at the Hurricane shelter. The complaint says there are witnesses and photographs confirming this action by staff of the Department of Ecology, who are under the supervision of the Director.
   The animal did not have a history of aggressiveness, and had been removed by the staff of Ecology at least twice from the area of the grade school, 'Cesar Mendoza' where he was searching for food. He had been abandoned by his owners and fallen into the habit of hanging around the grade school because the students would feed him.

Lighting has been installed on the eastern malecon sea walk, and yesterday it was tested for the first time. The lights are of foreign manufacture with solar panels and batteries. They are 18 meters tall and shine in a diameter of 20 meters. They were provided by an investment of 1.25 million pesos.
      In addition to the new lights, the eastern malecon is getting new trash cans, benches, and landscaping, This information was provided by Fernando Bacelis Godoy, administrative director of the construction. They are also finishing work on the bathrooms, which is urgent, because when an event was organized in the Town Square, the area smelt of urine.

 Isla Animals campaign for the upcoming November Clinic-Spay-Neuter-Educate
Sally Margolis  on FB....
Hi everyone, I just posted a campaign for an Isla Animals November Spay/Neuter & Education clinic. It's with terrible irony due to recent events with Lucky and the poisonings, that we just posted it yesterday. The only way to make change is through education of pet owners and particularly education of the children-and spay/neuter campaigns. At the last big IA campaign 220 animals were spayed/neutered. There will be an education station at this clinic and Isla Animals is also set to go to the schools. Please continue to support an organisation that has made great strides with 15 years of steady service to the island. And please, please help us share this campaign! Thank you! "This is Lucky's campaign, let's make it everything it can be." -  http://www.gofundme.com/IslaAnimalsNov
