A Spanish drone operator on Tuesday received permission to try to rescue three emaciated dogs trapped near a volcano in the Canary Islands, by catching them with a remote-controlled net and flying them out over a stream of lava.
The three dogs have been stranded for weeks in an abandoned yard covered with volcanic ash on the island of La Palma.
They have been fed by drones dropping packages of food, but until now no one has been able to figure out how to rescue them. Helicopters are banned from flying to the area because of hot gas that can damage their rotors.
After evaluating the proposed rescue mission, emergency authorities said in a statement they had decided to allow it.

Another article with more detail about the rescue by a mysterious group saying they are the A Team. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/21/1048003713/a-team-dogs-rescue-volcano-lava-la-palma-spain
See posts 21 and 22 for update information. Hopefully good news.
Unlike how news reporting was done in blanco America, no expert source was named, so that was CNN's benevolent "Voice of Gawd", all nosing, never wong. Are you questioning the "Voice of Gawd"?
Thx. Bravo to, I guess, Superman!
