La firma Cifras y Conceptos lanza estudio sobre tenencia y cuidado de mascotas

0:01 At the WU, Colonel' s report. Well, Daniel got away with it. Finally you may have a colonel report that reconciles you a little so many complaints that we hear report after report, what is the story of the doggies. Good morning, July. While listening, John was afraid because there is something hanging in the air that can be good. This is today' s Colonel report. There are few affections as authentic as the one that arises between a person and his pet. It is indescribable the affection that someone feels for his dog when, at the end of the job, perhaps after a hard day, he encounters the exulting greeting that, regardless of the difficulties, celebrates his arrival or the expressions of affection of the cat that always independent, makes him feel that he needs it. It is difficult to explain the sensitivity of animals that are part of families and know. I don' t know who the person is who is sad or sick and who needs more affection.

1:08 That day the importance of pets is increasing for Colombians. A study of the firm figures and concepts with the University of the Andes and the Humbold Institute reveals that since the year two thousand twenty- two most Colombians have pets. The figure, which had been around for a long time, rose by two thousand twenty- two to fifty- six percent and now stands at fifty- seven percent. The Colombians' favorite pet is, by far the dog, followed by the cat and then birds, rabbits, turtles, rodents and fish. The study is aimed at responsible possession of animals, because just as many people love and care for them, there are others who abuse them and sometimes abandon them in the cause field, using imbalances in ecosystems and endangering native species.

2:05 Dogs and cats, who suddenly have to hunt to survive, become ferocious predators. It also finds the study of a worrying tendency to convert exotic animals into pets, which causes the extraction of their habitat of birds, wilds, turtles, mycos, iguanas and frogs. A very important issue is the coexistence between neighbors because of the unresponsible possession of pets. You already know from not picking up depositions to allowing the pet to damage other people' s properties or attack other animals or people. To discuss this topic, we greet this work to Dr César Caballero of the company Figures and concepts. Very good morning, Daniel Lugo, Dr Caballero, why the interest arose in doing this statistical study on pet ownership in Colombia. Daniel since two thousand eleven, without seeing concepts, has been avoiding this issue, because we see that it is a social phenomenon and that it is a topic that is growing and that I believe will continue to increase in the following years. The first time we did the measurement, thirty- seven percent of households had a pet and, as you point out, I' m fifty- seven percent today have a pet. So that ' s a topic that we find interesting, because it has to do with the way the Colombian society coexists today, that behaves and will continue to function, the pandemic will have had to do with the increase of pets in Colombian

3:38 homes. No doubt about us. But this is accompanied by a demographic phenomenon, a decline in household size. The Dani Ya reported that twenty percent of households in the country are single- person and that' s where a very important portion is. He' s got more stuff, too. But at the same time that it is a phenomenon that we feel is very good, we dated Humbol and the University of the Andes, because we find that there are three driving edges that are not responsible for pets allow them to be summarized two seconds. One. Today there are a significant percentage of Colombian households that have wild animals as pets. There are two perals, semi- fralls and street animals, that is, pets that are loose today and that are not in control, because they can actually affect or affect the fauna that the country has. And three, there are growing problems of coexistence among neighbors due to pet issues. So, that' s why our idea is to make a conversation so that we still have pets. That is very good for us, but we should have them more responsibly. Yes, sir, pets, which bring so much joy to homes, are also one of the main sources of conflicts between neighbors, conflicts that often require police intervention. How so, Dr

5:08 Caballero, but we found that the police director passed us this information. Last year, the Colombian police had to make one hundred and thirty zero mediations among citizens, not all of which were limited, mostly because of garbage, noise and pets, and that implies that they go between two and three policemen to mediate a situation between two citizens. Don' t end up comparing, because that' s on another record and it takes between two and three hours and then the police have to report that activity, which makes a calculation that was made with the people of the police. He says that last year there was a job of Colombian police about five hundred and fifty zero hours dedicated to the neighbors putting the chain to their dog, they will lower the volume of their music or collect and miss my poop from their dog. So let' s say here' s an alert, because we' re talking about an epidemic of coexistence. Forty percent of households said that in the twenty- three, they had at least one conflict with their neighbors over pet issues, which I think is also a wake- up call for us to converge in society on how we control this issue, that there is no point in distracting police time on these kinds of issues and that we would simply behave well and comply with the rules, we would not have these kinds of problems. Obviously, we need police officers, all police officers and officers to be dedicated to care and

6:42 security and not to solving these problems that could be solved more simply by complying with the rules of coexistence. Many people love and care for their pets, but the problem also arises from the abandonment of cat dogs. What a consequence this brings for the cities and for the countryside one we saw two or three weeks ago. You know that today the country is trying to recover, for example, the spectacle bear and that in Chingaza there are some important specimens, not in volume Peru, but it is careful. One of them was found to have a speck. Moquillo only transmits it in dogs. There' s supposed to be no dog around the park. But, for example, there are people who have spoken to people from natural parts and reserves. It is forbidden to bring pet animals to these places because they can cause effects. You don' t know how that infection got to the bear. That hasn' t been discovered yet, but that puts him at risk, and this is a species at risk. Let' s say. It has been estimated that in Colombia last year three million birds are killed by ceral animals, both in the cities and in the countryside and in the natural parks, three million birds.

8:03 That is not a small matter and there is obviously the issue that there are many people who do not irresponsibly abandon their pets. Animals. Some remain in the cities, but others begin to migrate to the countryside and rural areas. There are farms and homes that coexist with their pets and leave them loose and are particularly cats. They are very skilled hunters, but dogs are also very abis hunters and are affecting Colombian wildlife. The case you may remember that in the beginning this year we saw the case of ceral dogs that in Chile attacked some I think were baby seals and killed them completely. This is happening today in Colombia and that is why our call is for people to be responsible and that, if they don' t want to have more or mascot, it will take them to where they join, the authorities or to a foundation.

9:01 But we have to control those animals and in front of the wildlife Daniel, just to give him a figure on the people we interviewed. Four percent recognized us as having a wild species. That' s because of the size of the sample we did. They are about two hundred and forty thousand wild species. Today of pets, and that I tell you that from two thousand eleven twelve is forbidden by law, it is forbidden to have wild animals. We' re talking about turtles, we' re talking about birds, we ' re talking about iguanas, people have it and everyone recognized us. And when we asked them if they had seen someone having a wild pet in their home, we are already getting very green that twenty- six percent of him was seen wild bird. That' s over two million wild birds. For the information that the partners have shared with us. In other words, the shipment traffic in Colombia is not only to get them out of the country, but also to take them to homes that have them as domestic animals. And that' s forbidden by law and that' s something we want to draw attention to. Having wild animals in the house is not a responsible pet tenience.

10:18 Yeah, let' s say. I believe that no person achieved more pernicious changes in Colombia' s ecosystems. Considered individually that Pablo Escobar, in Medellin are seen bands of Amazonian macaws flying through the area of the village, by the way, very beautiful birds and that already are part, therefore, of the natural landscape and also the average magdality was filled with Hippopotamos on behalf of Pablo Escobar. What to do about this situation. What can be done to return the ecosystem to what was or is simply impossible. Not I in the Alliance, what we have defined in the first stage, Daniel and We ask you that I also speak here in the name of not only hundreds and concepts, but also of the Alliance. A first stage is come, let ' s talk, let' s increase public conversation on this topic. We are going, we are discussing proposals internally for what to do, but we do not agree that the issue of not being easy is not an easy one, and at an early stage we said come. We' re going to make a first, a wake- up call with data, with evidence to tell hive society we have a responsible pet tenure problem. The case then I would not like at this moment to go ahead and say that this is a difficult, difficult issue and we are three parts and we are saying, we have initially agreed to try to encourage the conversation and that we are all aware

11:50 that this issue needs our full attention and that it is possible to live responsibly with pets and have them responsibly, but we need help from all the citizens and to be aware that there are practices that are wrong. It is wrong to have wild animals as pets, it is wrong to abandon dogs and cats both on the street and in parks, and it is wrong not to comply with the rules that have the Code of coexistence and publicity that Colombia has and that involve two three things. Daniel, all dogs at all times must have a criadilla or a chain. The law orders that, but go and tell the owner of a pet to please put the chain on his dog. This becomes a conflict quickly that can escalate into more serious things and where the police have come, has had to intervene. Go tell you the owner of a pet to pick up the poop that just made your pet. They put on without hergumenos, they get very aggressive and that is what is ending in very big conflicts. The other theme is the theme of restaurants. The law says that a dog cannot enter a restaurant when the restaurant has open kitchen or when it does not have a specific area for pets. Public health issues. But you go to the country' s shopping malls and you' re going to realize that in the food areas that are all open kitchens, pets come in and put the work at risk, owners put at risk the work of thousands of people because one day you' re going to get to the secretariat of greetings to close all those kitchens because they are open kitchens and unless they have

13:24 a different preparation and space, because pets shouldn' t be there. Called the call of the alliance is a plasmos the minimum that the law says to wear dogs with chain. Cats must not leave their home without any control. This is less common in some cases. You have to pick up the pophorus of pets and do not take them to restaurants that do not have adequate spaces for pets to be there. We may have a responsible convenience, but at this moment forty percent of households did not report that they did not and are becoming an epidemic of coexistence in Colombian society. Well, thank you very much to Dr César Caballero of Figures and Concepts for sharing this interesting study with us.

14:07 You can see it complete from this hour on. On the LEU page there is a Borus track. Remember that today, starting at two o' clock in the afternoon, the General Assembly of Shareholders of co- oil will be held in the Corferias compound in Bogotá. From her she paints as the most agitated in history. Several small shareholders, among them selector Jorge Enrique Robledo, want to ask for the floor to draw attention to what they consider an undesirable change of course of the most important company in Colombia. All this happens in the midst of a relay of board of directors whose members were not presented with the anticipation of life and also with the reform of the statutes of copetrol.

14:52 This was today' s Colonel report. Thank you very much.
