POLICE DENOUNCED FOR KILLING A PROTECTED SNAKE

EFE, Alcalá de Henares

Gonzalo M., a young environmentalist from Alcalá de Henares, denounced the city's Local Police to
the Environment Agency's hotline when he learned through the press that the agents killed a ladder
snake -a protected species- that they removed from the hubcap of a car's wheel. The snake belongs
to a species protected by the Ministry of Agriculture, which imposes fines of varying amounts on
anyone who harms one of these specimens.
According to Gonzalo M., the officer who took out the snake and carried it wrapped around his arm to
the barracks, he knew it was harmless. The official explained on Friday that it was not true that they
had killed the snake with a club, but that the reptile died on the road due to the heat. Four local police
officers and the mayor of Public Safety intervened in the expulsion of the snake from the hubcap.
