Sure, nobody knows. However, we do know that with the enactment of the new animal welfare law approved by the Spanish government, it will be mandatory for anyone who wants or already owns a pet to attend a training course and have a card accrediting them. .what they did.
Such a requirement is not new, although it may seem so. In part, it is very similar to the famous licenses issued by registered psychologists that allow the possession of PPPs and certificates of ability, which, along with other procedures, are already required for the possession of potentially dangerous dogs. However, this is completely new to the general public who owns a normal dog.
As the government progresses, it looks like, in principle, there will be no face-to-face class to get that particular card. It will be more of a course that can be done online, and many will perceive more as just a formality anyway, and of course bear the corresponding cost.
The main problem that such a norm always presents is that it primarily affects those who obey the law, and not those who live permanently in its non-compliance. A good example of this is the famous chip identification of animals. Although it has been mandatory since the 1990s, the truth is that there are still many animals without a chip. To verify this, all you have to do is look at the entry records of animal guardians or reception and collection centers for abandoned animals in Spain. It is clearly reflected in them that 90 percent of the animals entering them do not have identities.
If the government approves a law and requires it to be complied with, resources should be allocated to it. But, unfortunately, legislation in Spain lately is more of an advertisement than a reality.
