In San Juan, communities are warning about the recurring poisoning of animals, including dogs, cats, and chickens. A billboard from the State Office for Animal Control, part of the Department of Health, encourages Puerto Ricans to adopt pets.
However, on June 5, just minutes away from the billboard, residents of the University Gardens urbanization found 30 poisoned chickens. The incident highlights the contrast between the call to adopt pets and the reality of animal poisoning in the area.
