Article 22. Collection and care of animals
1. The collection of lost and abandoned animals and their accommodation in an animal protection centre will correspond to the municipalities. To do this, they must have an emergency service for the collection and veterinary care of these animals, available twenty-four hours a day. This management may be carried out directly by the competent municipal services or by private entities, without prejudice to the fact that, whenever possible, it is carried out in collaboration with animal protection entities.
In the terms established by the autonomous legislation, this responsibility may be transferred to the groups of municipalities, or, where appropriate, to the provincial and foral councils, councils and island councils or to the autonomous communities and cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
2. To carry out this management and care, the municipalities must have their own, joint or concerted service, in the terms established in article 23.
3. Populations that do not have their own means to exercise their competence for the collection and maintenance of animals may sign collaboration agreements with joint centres, belonging to other administrations or contracted, which will meet the minimum conditions regulated in this law. In this case, a temporary municipal facility will be available to house the animals until they are collected by the corresponding service, which meets the space, safety and conditions for the welfare of the temporarily housed animals.
4. In the absence of any other provision in the regional legislation, it corresponds to the local Administration and, secondarily, to the regional administration, the management and care of abandoned animals or whose owners cannot care for them due to situations of vulnerability, notwithstanding that they can count with the collaboration of duly registered animal protection entities.
5. Local entities will prioritise non-lethal population control of urban fauna in their action plans for animal protection, guaranteeing the rights of animals.
