One man reported the appearance of seven dead dogs on the Pico Infante Road, near the Madeira Stadium in Funchal.
For four years, Paulo Nunes had been in the habit of going to the place to feed the animals, he said, adding that he had been fined for that reason. He says that he even went to the Funchal Municipal Council to report the situation.
However, one of the times he went there, he found seven – of the nine animals that were often there – lifeless. He suspects that they will have died poisoned because he found a piece of meat at the foot of one of them. He told JM that it was he who buried the bodies.
