URGENT: Animal Welfare Concerns at Magic Robin Hood Hotel in Albir
For the past 3 consecutive days we have personally witnessed deeply concerning actions at Magic Robin Hood Hotel in Albir.
An external pest control company, ADDA OPS, was actively trapping cats that have reportedly lived in this area for many years as a registered colony.
What we personally saw:
• Cats were captured in traps and placed inside a ADDA van
• The van was completely closed and left under direct sunlight for more than an hour, with the animals inside and no visible ventilation, while the driver went inside to the management office to do paperwork
• Police and animal welfare representatives arrived, and official complaints were filed on site
• After the police left, the same van returned and continued trapping more cats there
Then the situation escalated further:
• The van driver attempted to run over the animal activist standing in front of the vehicle, creating a serious risk to evryone present
• Animal welfare volunteers were verbally abused and threatened by the hotel staff
• Hotel management facilitated the exit of the vehicle through a rear gate to avoid confrontation
Despite police intervention earlier, the activity continued.
SERIOUS QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE ANSWERS:
• Where ADDA OPS took the cats?
• What did the do with the animals?
• Do they have in their licence activity permission of removing and relocating colonies?
• Did they have written permission from the City Council to perform the trapping of the resident cats?
• Did the Magic Robin Hood hotel liaised with the City Council about this relocation?
• Did they work with the local Animal Rights & Protection association like APPA to implement TNR program?
• Who gave the orders to call a Pest Control and not local Animal Protection Association?
This situation has already been reported, and police have attended multiple times.
