Lagos will double the capacity of the Animal Cemetery. The work, which will cost 17.350 euros, has already been awarded, informed the Câmara de Lagos, this Tuesday.
This project aims to provide the Lagos Animal Cemetery with another 36 burial units. The works, with an execution period of 60 days, «will allow the creation of four more niches for large animals, twenty-five niches for medium-sized animation and seven niches for small animals», explains the Câmara de Lagos.
«This work will practically double the installed capacity of the Animal Cemetery, built and opened in 2017 as a result of a winning proposal from the Participatory Budget. To date, it was the first equipment of this scope to be created in the Algarve and the third nationally», adds the municipality.
Initially endowed with 39 aerobic burial units, with different dimensions for large animals (6 units), medium (10 units) and small (23 units), «the Animal Cemetery was designed and built thinking about the possibility of expansion, if demand so justified, which happened, since at the present date 26 units are already occupied».
The conditions applicable to those who intend to bury their pet are defined in the "Regulation of the Cemetery for Pet Animals of the Municipality of Lagos" approved in 2017.
According to this regulation, the equipment has as «sole and exclusive purpose the burial of pet animals up to 1,15 m in length or 70 kg», being understood by « pet (…) any animal held or intended to be held by beings human beings, namely in their home, for their entertainment and company".
