"We were preparing ferrets and nets to go out into the countryside to control rabbit populations when I got a call from a farmer and partner of the hedge. I had seen two corks in the Tajo-Segura shipping", begins by explaining Huerta.

After talking to the man, and after consulting with SEPRONA if they could intervene, they came to the place to try to save their lives. «It took us to get the two more than an hour, as they had recently fallen, they were very fresh and did not let the property easily", says the president.

When they took out the first one they found that she had no injury or injury, so they released her. However the second, having been trying to get out longer, had some wounds on her paws, so they proceeded to heal her and then release her in a gesture of responsibility as hunters.

«I was in the last. We were trying first with the rope and a loop but we couldn't catch it, and the worst thing is that it was slowly approaching the mouth of the canal, so I didn't think twice and her.the young hunter then told us.
