The animal shelter organization PADELA, through its president Ivelisse Leonor Porcella, claims that stray dogs that wander through the Ciudad Ganadera and Mirador del Sur Park are poisoned by individuals who seek to "clean up the area" for events held there. Porcella said that every year as the opening of the cattle ranching fair on the Km. 6 of the 30 de Mayo Highway nears, the number of dog deaths increases.
National District secretary general Domingo Contreras says that one of the dogs poisoned in the Mirador del Sur Park belonged to baseball star Miguel Tejada. The National District municipality says that five dogs were poisoned in one day, three of which died.
Once a week, municipal trucks drive around the city picking up stray dogs and taking them to the PADELA offices to be treated by volunteer veterinarians.
