• Live Volcano on La Palma |

    The streams around the lagoon advanced at "250 meters per hour" during the night and now at "between 20 and 30 meters per hour"

The entire

Todoque

neighborhood

is flooded with lava and has disappeared from the map.

Everything?

No. A small island of just a few square meters,

what in Hawaii they call "capuca"

(a terrain that orography or chance have saved from the volcano), remains free of magma.

And in it,

confined in a pool of water from which they have not been able to get out, four hounds have

barked for three weeks, increasingly hungry and increasingly surrounded by lava.

A week ago, on Friday, October 8, "

some German volcanologists who were driving a drone contacted us,

" says Alejandro Molina, from the animal shelter Leales.org.

"They told us that thanks to their

aerial images they

had seen what appeared to be an animal trapped in a pond, in Todoque. The next day we saw new images again: first it looked like a cat, then a Pekingese dog. Only one day later we saw that there were two hounds, and a few hours later, studying the images, we saw two others also trapped, there next to them. "

The problem: they were absolutely

surrounded by lava, at a probable temperature of between 500 and 600 degrees

Celsius. If most of the animals that could not be evacuated from the areas flooded by the lava were at least released, to flee by themselves from destruction and certain death, "they were not so lucky," explains Molina, who he concludes: "

We believe that they are game animals, abused as well, used by their owners to kill other animals

."

No one has claimed the hounds for the moment

, and at Leales.org they do not know if they were deliberately locked up or fell by chance in what is now their jail, but the animal protector began

an intense

effort several days ago

to try to save them, which is hitting now with the authorities

: after contacting a Galician drone company that claims to have a technology to collect and save them, "we have found that

neither the Advanced Command Post [made up of the Army, Civil Guard and authorities of the three administrations] nor the Spanish Agency for Air Safety give their permission

for this drone to save them: they tell us that

it is not a priority now

. "

The NGO has thus started

a campaign on social networks to try to speed up some permits

"that may take a month to give us," they explain to this digital in the Galician company Aerocámaras Especialistas en Drones, the one chosen by the NGO to carry out the rescue.
