Cabárceno Deploys €8,239 Guard Dog After Brake-Cable Damage as Unions Challenge Marten Theory

Park officials report no new damage since the puppy's late-January arrival.

Overview

  • Cantur rented 13 off-road vehicles for the Cabárceno park at about €90,000 each under contracts running to 2030, then reported repeated brake-line cuts and failures.
  • Security footage captured a marten emerging from beneath a vehicle at night, prompting management to pursue wildlife deterrence rather than technical fixes.
  • Mitigation now includes a night guard and a nine-month-old German shepherd named Roi, purchased for €8,239 and contracted for professional training.
  • The park’s security chief says cable breaks have ceased since Roi began nighttime patrols after arriving in late January.
  • CC.OO. disputes the animal explanation, citing reports of clean, tool-like cuts, questioning the timing and authenticity of the video, and noting the incidents followed installation of GPS trackers on the fleet.
