Prior to Wednesday's ordinary town council session, at least a dozen people with banners and placards demonstrated in the vicinity of the Puerto Vallarta City Hall to demand a stop to what they described as "slaughter" at the Animal Control Center.

"Who and why did decide their death?" pointed out a banner with the photos and names of the little animals that, according to the demonstrators, were "killed" without considering their right to life.

"We are demonstrating because we want the killing at the Control Center to stop. We have known that healthy animals have been killed and murdered, so it is not a sacrifice, it is a slaughter," said one of the protesters for GST Medios.

The protesters added that Profe Michel signed an agreement to them during his political campaign where he promised to stop this practice, however, the animal defenders today claim him for not keeping his word.

"The municipal president signed an agreement with us when he was a candidate that there would be no return to the slaughter, that the right to life would be respected, and he is not fulfilling it."

Finally, the protesters indicated that they would remain present for the duration of the town council session waiting for the president to give them the floor to express their disagreement.
