Proaniplant had 862 cats and dogs at its centre in Sangonera la Verde, being kept in dreadful conditions last year. One of the witnesses in the case has said there were dead dogs inside the centre, wounded animals just left abandoned with both external and internal parasites, dead rats in the cages, and dead puppies. One ex worker said that here were also mentally challenged people living at the centre.
Proaniplant received grants from the local Town Hall, claiming to look after, feed and care for the animals.
