<p>Last June, INTERcids organized the first Conference on Animal Law and Protection of Tenerife. Out of all the papers, we highlight the originality of Sergio Díaz Expósito, on the Disclosure of the crimes of animal abuse through the Internet: the creation of “Animaldad". This association fights against crimes committed against animals on the net. Its main objective is to interrupt the dissemination of online material on animal abuse to identify the authors of the acts. The cruelty towards the animals is still increasing and the net shows this. At the end of the presentation, a debate was opened on whether the dissemination of images of cruelty to animals is an advocacy of crime or citizen awareness, not specifically concluding on this point, but coming to the conclusion that it is a matter of concern to the majority of the current society.</p>
