• Controversy They denounce "gratuitous cruelty and abuse" to animals in a Madrid laboratory

The word

Seprona

transports the mind to an investigation of dead wild boars or to the phone to call when help is sought for a bird that, failed in its flight attempt, sneaks into the living room. "The idea that people have is that of the guards on a motorcycle controlling the game and little else, but that is only the tip of the iceberg," says

Ramón Campoamor

, director of the

Seprona in Action program

.

This Sunday, DMax (9:30 pm) will break that ideology with the premiere of the first of the twenty chapters of this documentary series, which will show the face of environmental limits and the cross that is the offense to this heritage. "The consequences will be seen. There are things that have been allowed until today, but tomorrow they will not be able to be done," explains Campoamor.

The effervescence of ecosystem protection currents has helped in the work of

this pioneering patrol in Europe

.

Ana Prieto, Seprona sergeant and spokesperson, assures that the number of complaints by the population has increased in recent years.

"There has been an evolution in the perception of the defense of the environment and the conditions necessary for its well-being. Furthermore, all this has been accompanied by extensive regulatory development."

Even so, there are still many legal barriers that are crossed due to ignorance or the minimization of the damage that can be caused.

Practices such as the dumping of waste, fishing in unauthorized areas or the mass rearing of animals without the necessary permission are examples of crimes that this body faces every day. "People are going to realize that simply by

hunting or poaching an octopus, the impact is greater than they thought,

" says Prieto.

In many environments there is the concept that the land is its own and can be exploited at will, at that moment the Seprona becomes an intermediary. "I was very surprised at how they deal with the people, especially in the towns, the work of mediators," argues Campoamor, "

many crimes are unintentional or are committed to seek life

, and they try to speak first with the person involved, in instead of fining him directly. "

These violations in rural areas have been standardized practices over time, which are now beginning to face the law as an obstacle. The Civil Guard corps works in all parts of Spain and its environmental brigade even reaches the lost corners where the offender seems to feel safe. "Close contact in very small population centers

is an important educational task at an environmental level.

The rapid action of colleagues and how they know their territory make things much easier", clarifies the sergeant, who considers that the good hand of some peers turn awkward situations into humorous or thankful moments.

The situation in other environments is different, there prevail animal abuse and the fight against it.

Campoamor states that

"animalism is very urban"

and, therefore, Seprona's performance is almost always highly regarded because it affects the day-to-day.

The Seprona spokeswoman adds that it is a cross-cutting phenomenon.

Crimes of this type are interrelated,

an illegality such as poaching on any coast

can reach markets or restaurants without passing quality standards.

It is not only hunting or animal abuse,

crimes against historical heritage

are also controlled

Ana Prieto

Investigations such as that of the Vivotecnia laboratory, accused of experimenting with animals without meeting the standards to avoid suffering the species with which they tested products, have mobilized all social conscience. Prieto alleges that what happened in the cooperative is not common, but that they constantly face similar situations. "Some cases that will be seen in the program may become true operations of a national nature and with great relevance," he says.

The criminal range they face is wide, the idea of ​​production is to make this task known to the population.

"

Seprona is not only hunting or animal abuse; they also control food safety

, crimes against archaeological and historical heritage. We have detected cases of people who were selling illegal archaeological material online," says Campoamor.

For his part, Prieto expects a higher level of social involvement after the broadcast of the series: "The program's work in education is important, it will give us advice and

tips

to the citizens who are going to stay."
