Transcript of In defense of life - Masquechuchos
MASQUECHUCHOS’ philosophy is based,
above all, on the Defense of the Life of
every animal we are in charge of.
When any of our animals gets sick we never
consider their age or their possibilities to be
adopted* to give them the opportunity to live.
*possibility to be adopted: subjective concept which we considervery unfair ir order to decide who lives and who dies.
We only think about euthanasia when they
are terminally ill and there’s no clinical
chance of keeping their quality of life.
In conclusion, our animals are living beingswith emotions, with their names and each ofthem is irreplaceable.
And our philosophy is treating them in thatway, no like figures or statistics.
The dogs and cats you are going to see noware alive thanks to that.
CANELA, 15 years old.
She suffered a gastric torsion in January 2010.
We were advised to euthanise her, given the cost
of the surgery and her age.
We decided to give her the opportunity to keep on
living.
This is CANELA in March 2012, adopted.
VASCO, 7 years old
He suffered a gastric torsion in January 2009. It
was an emergency so the cost of the surgery was
very high. According to the vet, the possibility of
him surviving was slim. We were advised to
euthanise him.
We decided to give him the opportunity to keep
on living.
This is VASCO
at present
FALO, 14 years old
He suffered a gastric torsion in October 2011.
Euthanasia was advised because of the cost of the
surgery, the little chance of surviving and his age.
We decided to give him the opportunity to keep
on living.
This is FALO back in the shelter, recovered and happy,
enjoying life again.
Unfortunately, there have been more gastric
torsion surgeries over the years.
100% of those who had an emergency operation
in the first hours survived.
In all the cases, euthanasia was advised.
In all the cases, we decided to give the
dogs the opportunity to keep on living...
…Gonso, Zara, etc. All of them are alive and
healthy thanks to our decision.
NINI, 3 years old
December 2011: acute hepatic and renal failure.
Euthanasia is advised because of the cost of the
treatment and the little chance of success.
We decided to give her the opportunity to keep on
living.
This is NINI, totally recovered. We are sure she will sooner or
later find someone to adopt her as she has her whole life ahead.
LUNINA, 12 years old.
She had a tumour in her
ear and
she was
operated
in spite
of her age.
This is LUNINA, without the annoying tumour, back in her kennel.
PEQUERAY, 11 years old
2007: perianal fistula [very painful disorder which
produces some ulcers in the anal area and the
colon].
He was operated
even though he would
need an expensive
treatment for life.
This is PEQUERAY at present. We got a sponsor who pays for his
treatment and he is a well balanced , active, loving and full of life dog.
GORDI
He was found near the shelter, knocked down,
with a pellet in his eye and going into convulsions.
We were advised to euthanise him inmediately.
We decided to give him the opportunity to keep
on living.
This is GORDI in March 2012.
The most affectionate cat in the shelter.
LULA, 5 years old
She was found wandering in the country, totally
undernourished. Later we discovered she had
been lost for more than a year.
To save her, it was neccesary she to be admited in
the clinic for a week.
This is
LULA, two
years later.
She is still
in a foster
home,
waiting for
a definitive
adoption.
GUS
He was found knocked down.
Although his vital organs were not affected, he had
to be operated.
We decided to save his life.
This is GUS at present.
CHAVO
He suffered a paralysis and was admitted
for several days at the clinic.
CHAVO March 2012
PAPIpequeño
He decided to swallow a toy made of rope, almost
as big as him.
We were advised to euthanise him because of his
advanced age.
Again, we decided to give him the opportunity to
keep on living.
This is PAPI having a rest on the sofa, some months after the
incident with the toy.
These are only a few cases of all we have
every year.
Every week we have to go to the vet with
some of our animals, sometimes they are
mild cases, sometimes very serious ones.
Help us to keep our
pro-life philosophy.

innocent animals.
