Alhama de Murcia police search for animal cruelty culprits

The Local Police force in Alhama de Murcia have asked for the public’s help to identify the owners of two dogs who were launched from a car after having their microchips ripped out on Sunday December 5.

On Monday, the local authorities received a call about two injured canines on the outskirts of Alhama de Murcia, and according to witnesses, the animals had been thrown out of a car at around 7.30pm the previous afternoon near the Alhama-Campo de Cartagena motorway and the RM-2 and RM-603 intersection.

Upon inspecting the two greyhounds, the police discovered that their injuries were most likely due to someone having violently ripped out their microchips to avoid being identified.

The authorities are currently looking into surveillance footage in the area to find the car’s license plate and have asked anyone with further information about this incident of animal cruelty to come forward.
