A total of two thousand pets were cared for during the recent week of work by Misión Nevado Aragua, an initiative that directly benefited various communities in Turmero and adjacent areas.
The deployment was centered at the headquarters of the Comprehensive Veterinary Center (CVI) in the "El Sol nace por el Esequibo" Commune, located in the Esteban Liendo sector, where dogs and cats received free comprehensive care.
During the event, veterinarians and assistants administered rabies vaccines, dewormed the animals, and performed ear cleanings and nail trimming. These free services not only improve the quality of life for dogs and cats, but also protect the health of families by preventing diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and help prevent pet abandonment.
Regional reach and legal advice
Francisco Mijares, regional coordinator of Misión Nevado, highlighted that the influx of people was massive, receiving citizens who traveled from distant municipalities such as Zamora, Tovar and Girardot to comply with the medical control of their animals.
In addition to clinical care, legal advice was provided to owners on preventing violence towards animals and the fundamental requirements for responsible pet ownership.
Mijares reported that the Santiago Mariño center offers regular services on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the mobile unit visits vulnerable areas the rest of the week. She emphasized that all services are free and aim to promote social inclusion, based on the premise that animal welfare stems from an infinite capacity to love.
Finally, he invited the community to donate supplies for the maintenance of the CVI and reminded them that mistreatment of community animals, such as denying them food or care, is a crime punishable by law.
