Who killed Rasher, Cross & Foxy and probably many more innocent dogs?

In a meeting on Friday 9th October with Giorgio Chiarel, the director of the Riu Funana Hotel, Sal, Cabo Verde the response was as follows :
1) Why would you bring your dog to the beach anyway?
2) There is a problem with 'dangerous' stray dogs and this is an acceptable way to control them
3) The Riu Funana did not do this, we believe the Camara did and we have no control over what is a public beach
4) We do not involve ourselves in political things
5) We do not believe that there is anything hazardous (for people or dogs) on our beach
6) We will call the police if you tell our guests that there is poison on our beach and they need to be careful
7) You have a 'business' on our beach and you make a lot of money from us (I suppose the relevance of this is that we should shut our mouths)
Our view is that regardless of whether the Riu is responsible or have knowledge of this going on they have a responsibility to their guests and people like us and Rod & Sheena who work on their beach to find out who did this and to stop it happening again. We were surprised that Mr Chiarel was not angry about whoever it was endangering their guests and we were amazed that he did not want to know who is responsible.
We cannot comment on who is actually responsible and will probably never find out, but if you would like to voice your protest and encourage more to be done please email the Riu Funana Hotel, Sal Cabo Verde clubhotel.garopa@riu.com and the President of the Camara Municipal do Sal Jorge.figueiredo@cmsal.gov.cv.
