Where are the dogs surrounded by the lava from the volcano on La Palma? With their owners

The disappearance of the hound dogs trapped in two ponds on La Palma surrounded by lava from the volcano has become a mystery that gives to write a whole novel. But let’s leave it in a short story for now. On their reconnaissance flights to prepare for rescue, the Galician company Aerocamaras, specialists in drones, he noticed on Wednesday afternoon the absence of the animals, in the same way that in the last of his flights he has seen footprints in the ashes next to the ponds. Since then speculation and jokes began on social networks about the whereabouts of the dogs.

Video of ‘A team’

This Thursday, a group of anonymous people called ‘A team’, that is, Team A, has spread a video on social networks in which they attribute the rescue of the podencos. In the video, with music from the series ‘The A Team’, you can see images of the drone flying over the empty ponds and the area where the dogs were, as well as a banner, hanging from one of the ponds, which reads “Force La Palma, the dogs are fine. A team”.

In the video they also appear pictures of six animals. On the photos, a message: “Courage !!! In La Palma we are #masfuertesqueelvolcan” and it is given that it is about the podencos that were in the ponds. Knowing if this is true or not is difficult for someone who does not know these dogs.

The matter becomes’trending topic‘ without there being any communication other than the anonymous video on the matter.

The discontent of Leales.org

The platform does not seem happy either Leales.org, promoter of the rescue of dogs with drones, as it has issued a statement that headlines: “Hunters try to take credit” and criticizes the web Hunting Club for telling the story of the source close to the owners “without showing test videos.”

It talks about an anonymous email sent with all security precautions to avoid identification. At the same time, it reveals that the video where the banner is seen has been made with an authorized drone. Therefore, Leales.org “urges the Pevolca authorities to give explanations of who has been granted a license to fly by drone and who has drones with thermal cameras that can detect the “cold” areas of the enclosure, to clarify the facts and find out the status of the animals. “

Pevolca answers at his press conference

On the matter of the dogs and their rescue, the technical director of Pevolca (Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan), Miguel Ángel MorcuendeHe responded at the daily press conference that his responsibility was limited first “to knowing where they were”, and then “feeding them and evaluating the possibility of their rescue by land, something that was denied due to the risk to people.” Regarding the plan of the drone company presented three days ago, when the animals had already been rescued by their owners, Pevolca approved it a few hours after receiving it. After that, he added, “tests were done by the company, but from there we don’t know anything else.”
