Another protest against animal abuse and in defense of Mecho the dog was held in a number of cities across the country.

Participants are demanding effective sentences for animal abusers.

In Plovdiv, the protesters said they wanted public attention to be directed to the Animal Protection Act and its implementation.

"We are here for effective sentences, for a change in the law. We are not satisfied with three years for a person who has mistreated and abused animals for ten years. They also have the right to live a normal life and we all think it is simply unacceptable to live among such people Michaela Tancheva, organizer of the protest in Plovdiv, told BNT.

"To protect the voiceless, that's our goal, we travel specially from Chepelare every time for every protest. I think the cause is worth it. Any violence, no matter to an animal, to a person, to a child, any violence should be adequately punished "They must serve their sentences, obey the law, no one has the right to hurt anyone. That's it - fines and behind bars, such people have no place among us," added Teodora Taseva.

"Every single case touches me, I experience it, that's why I'm here in support of the animals and I hope that with protests, with more people, with more publicity, we can do something for them," said Kristina Ruskova.
