Partners and supporters of the NGO "El Refugio" have gathered to celebrate the unanimous support of the 114 deputies of the Assembly of Madrid to its proposal to end the slaughter of animals abandoned in the community. All political groups voted in favor of the "popular legislative initiative" (ILP) which means that the issue will be discussed within the Madrid Assembly. Killing is not yet abolished but this is an important step towards a more ethical management of companion animals in Madrid. (spanish)
