Belorado Ex‑Nuns File Guardia Civil Complaint Over Suspected Dog Poisonings in Asturias

The move pushes the long‑running church‑property feud into a police inquiry.

Overview

  • The sisters lodged a formal report at the Guardia Civil post in Arriondas, requesting an investigation and providing information on the incidents.
  • Sor Sión says she found a flour biscuit with black specks that veterinarians and dog breeders identified as poison bait near the animals.
  • They report a previous dog death under unusual circumstances and recent illnesses in several German shepherds that were treated by veterinarians.
  • The group, excommunicated after breaking with the Catholic Church, operates a cloister‑style restaurant and a small zoological farm in Parres.
  • Separately, a court‑ordered eviction from the Belorado convent is under appeal, which has paused enforcement while the case proceeds.
