Rosa Aguilar Rivero Minister for Environment and Rural. Cattle Breeds . .
A / D ª Rosa Aguilar Rivero
Minister for Environment and Rural and Marine
First let me congratulate you on your appointment as minister.
I am writing to ask you to intervene in a conflict that is causing the loss of genetic variability in cattle branding.
What binds me to this cause is that I am Villarrubia de los Ojos (Ciudad Real), place of origin of a bovine variety to be aimed at recreational use is threatened. In fact there are no copies in their usual places of breeding. His desaparción of these sites is produced the greatest ecological disaster of our homeland in parts of the aquifer 23 in particular in protected areas of National Park Coldstream tables.
When we call for its reintroduction in the places where grazed for centuries tells us that we are not legitimate because we are not farmers or cattlemen's association.
What is clear is that genetic variability in Bos Taurus ibericus is a public good that should be preserved by our administration and that all persons have standing to request this protection regardless of whether or not we own the animals who carry these genetic variants.
If the excuse for not imposing control systems desaparicición our genetic wealth of our biodiversity is that this is in private hands, will have deprivatize this genetic wealth is universal and has no owner. Farmers continue to have their cattle, but the administration will have to impose the necessary mechanisms to ensure that decisions on the survival of amenzadas varieties are not in private hands.
Ownership of animals is a right that we will not discuss, but the genetic diversity of animals and their protection if they should be protected in the same way you do with other species, including cattle.
the end, the problem is that cattle branding wins a double privatization process has led to the provision on racial prototype, in some cases, is in the hands of one individual. These people will be grateful that they are making an effort to preserve Downhill races. But it is unacceptable that this continue. We can not have our government consito witness the decline of our biodiversity, arguing that the competitions are the owners and homeowners associations of cattle branding. The management skills course varieties are delgables organizations, but decisions on the survival of the races are not transferable.
Our own Constitution requires public authorities to ensure that wealth. Does not excuse the current economic situation is.
impassive ones we see how to reduce Race number of prototypes will be responsible for not having prevented despite having an obligation to do so.
any case under his ministry guard most conserguir powers to transform a problem into an opportunity for the future.
Hoping that this matter may be of interest to you and thanking you for your attention, Yours sincerely.

I invite you to personally show the environment in which lived the "bull Jijon "to see the towns that depend on their ministry with others through different eyes.
also attached a link to DRAE deprivatize meaning of the word, which incidentally is already included in our dictionary with a meaning very similar to that proposed.
