Cultur makes a call for the adoption of the other 3 puppies and their mother who are still waiting

Mérida, Yucatán, March 13, 2024. One of the five sacred puppies of Kukulkán (four puppies and the mother), which were rescued by Cultur last January, was adopted today.

The little animal was delivered to his new owner, Javier Méndez Zapata, who lives in Col. Carranza in this city, by Lourdes Durán Leal, president of the Centro de Orientación Perpopolis.

"He will be a child of the house and will be well taken care of," expressed the adopter who showed great happiness to have a new member in his home, whom he will now call "Blue" - at the vet they temporarily named him "jamoncillo" to identify him from the others.

As reported, last January Cultur rescued the mentioned puppies as part of the "Operation Rescue Puppies of Kukulkán," and as always, the institution made them available to the Planned Pethood veterinary clinic, where they were attended to by health professionals. They have all been dewormed, sterilized, and received their first vaccine.

It is important to emphasize the role that corresponds to each of the parties: Cultur rescues the animals, the veterinary clinic attends to them and provides all necessary health services, and the animal protection association, which acts as a temporary home, is responsible for investigating the adopters to ensure a responsible delivery.

Three puppies and their mother are still waiting for adoption! Adopt them!

Having said that, it is important to emphasize that three puppies of approximately three months old (two females and one male) and their mother are still waiting to be adopted. The mother is extremely docile and friendly but also defends her space, so she will be a protective factor for whoever decides to adopt her.

Mauricio Díaz Montalvo, general director of Cultur, called on people to adopt these puppies that will bring joy into their lives. "I am sure you will be delighted with these puppies or with the mother, who has perfect coexistence with people," he noted.

Where can you call to request them for adoption?

Those interested can call the following numbers: 9991 523073 or 9991 832064. The requirements are: commitment to responsible ownership of the animal and providing them with a suitable enclosed and roofed space so they don't escape.

They invite to report workplace violence that can cause serious health damage

Cultur employees were trained with a talk on this topic
Lunes 29 de Julio de 2024

Mérida, Yucatán, July 29, 2024. Cultur staff participated today in the talk "Workplace Violence" given by Lic. Aida María Borges Aguilar, Coordinator of the Ethics Committees of the General Comptroller's Office of the State of Yucatán (SECOGEY). In the event, which took place in room 2 of the Cines Siglo XXI, the speaker made it clear that anyone affected by this type of aggression, whether male or female, should approach their Gender Equality Unit or the Ethics Committee of the institution for advice and, if necessary, initiate the corresponding procedure. "You can also go directly to the State Prosecutor's Office to file a complaint, but sometimes it is better to have the support of the previous instances that involve a prior investigation and determination of whether there was workplace violence or not," she added. What is workplace violence? She indicated that for this concept to be established, there must be deliberate use of physical force or power and it must occur systematically among coworkers and superiors. "It could be an isolated case and not be workplace violence, but it still requires a different approach," she pointed out. She mentioned that workplace violence, also known as "mobbing" - just as there is bullying in schools - can be of three types: horizontal when it occurs among colleagues at the same level; downward vertical when it is promoted by a superior towards subordinates, and also upward vertical when employees exercise it against their superiors. "In this last form," she expressed, "we have mainly registered cases of female workers towards their female bosses who criticize their way of dressing or grooming, for example." She invited everyone present to seek more advice on this issue since sometimes they don't even know how to complain and therefore, sometimes, even if there is workplace violence, they cannot proceed because it is not clear what it consists of. Complaints, she emphasized, can be filed not only by women but by any person regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, so as to protect every human being. How is workplace violence exerted? This can be present not only in actions such as intimate harassment or offensive expressions but also when a worker is ignored either by giving them unimportant tasks that do not match their abilities or when they are simply ignored and left idle throughout the workday. What can workplace violence cause? It can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, frustration, helplessness, insomnia, fatigue, self-esteem issues, radical changes in behavior, and isolation of those affected. How can workplace violence be sanctioned? Those who engage in this type of aggression can be administratively sanctioned, labor-wise (dismissals), or even criminally, and there will always be a rigorous investigation to prevent injustices or personal vendettas. Finally, she invited anyone who wants to report any type of workplace violence to contact the speaker at 9999 30 38 00 Ext. 13011 or write to the email aida.borges@yucatan.gob.mx. After the talk, the participants and the speaker took a commemorative photo.
