  • Protectora Scooby Medina – 25 more unwanted galgos now safe forever

    Video

    From Scooby Medina.  Lined up, handed over, saved. 25 galgos
    Nieves and Fermin set off last week towards Extremadura (Badajoz) to collect 33 galgos and one Breton.  With poor road conditions and severe weather alerts, this rescue could not wait.

    In the end, 25 dogs made it out.  For the galgueros, a handover without regret.  For the galgos, the beginning of a new chance. It won’t be easy or immediate, but this is where everything begins. (more…)

  • PACMA – working for the animals of Spain

    Thinking of all the Spanish rescue shelters in Andalucia during the terrible Storm Leonardo and praying none of them are flooded out or suffer damage. This from PACMA – Partido Animalista.

    We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.

    While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.

    Overcrowded shelters, volunteers without resources, animals dependent on humans completely exposed to the cold, heavy rain, or potential flooding. This is the reality that keeps repeating itself, and from which we never seem to learn. (more…)

  • CAS International takes the fight for Spain’s hunting dogs to Brussels

    While Spain continues to exclude hunting dogs from basic protection under national law, EU-level legislation and enforcement could ensure these dogs are finally protected across all Member States.

    On Tuesday 27th January the European Parliament in Brussels hosted an important event to raise awareness about the cruel treatment of Spanish hunting dogs and the need for protection.  Director, Maite van Gerwen, was one of the speakers. She shared insights on the new EU regulation on the welfare of dogs and cats and explained how these rules could bring significant improvements for hunting dogs. (more…)

  • Dia de Galgo

    Pray for the thousands of galgos who will be abandoned now hunting in Spain has finished for this season.  Dumped in perreras, abandoned in the campo, in villages, in towns – starving, sick, injured.  Pray also for the volunteers who work tirelessly to help them.
