Conclusions

Participants were informed about the current situation of stray dogs,
considering it an avoidable problem. However, opinion is divided

between those participants who consider stray dogs to be a problem and
those who do not. In the municipality, animal mistreatment of dogs is
very frequent, violating their rights, as was expressed by the participants
who said they had witnessed it. A process was also determined in which
the students acquired knowledge about animal rights, to help prevent and
act in the future in case of any event related to animal mistreatment.
Food dispensers were implemented at different points in Villa de Leyva
by students of the Dulce Corazón de María School, who also learned
how to make them. And finally, a donation was made to help improve the
situation of stray dogs.
