Important Information - On Thursday morning of this week, whilst walking with friends and our dogs on the beach, between Calle International and Calle Los Mangoes, we were approached by a Mexican man riding a green quad who informed us he worked for the turtle group on behalf of Profepa and that it was against the law to walk dogs on the beach. When we questioned this law he said he would call the police i we did not leave immediately.
Shortly after, two policeman sped down the beach towards us on the same green quad. One of my dogs was in the path of the quad but they made no attempt to slow down or stop and just ran over my dog. The policeman who was driving was shouting at us to get off the beach. I was screaming at him to move his quad as my dog was struggling to get up. The wheel of the quad was just inches from my dogs head but he revved up and started forward. My friend and I jumped in front of the quad to push it back to release my dog who would be dead if it were not for the soft sand.
They chased us off the beach with the quad and they were very very menacing and intimidating. We are in the process of issuing a formal complaint but we want everyone to be aware that if they are walking dogs on the beach they may be treated in the same manner. We have since checked with Profepa and THERE IS NO SUCH LAW and nor does the man affiliated with the turtles work for Profepa. - Anita, Todos Santos
