Woohoo thanks Beryl this is fantastic!

Ms. Brennan thank you very much for the sensitivity of his words: The starving dogs that give Spain a bad name – The Telegrapf.
In Spain, among most hunters and galgueros as “usual” when the dogs are no longer useful to run or not enough ‘greedy’, according to slang, is that the hang or throw them into wells. If they are lucky, they shoot themselves, although that is not as common, because it takes full account of the price of the bullet. Also used “solutions” more sophisticated and quiet as injections of bleach. Although recently discovered piles of dead greyhounds were tied to large rocks living in caves (this “art” must be new).
Others were abandoned. Of these, the few who survive, they are seen roaming the fields and roads in a state that might not describe. If they are lucky, their suffering ends under the wheels of a car.
I am referring to the annual target of 50,000 greyhounds. That is the reality of greyhounds in Spain.
Thank you very much again, Mrs. Brennan, to speak for and on behalf of these helpless beings who have no voice.

Ive had a few articles published in different
journals over the years, a full page on the galgos in WT back in 2007! We
have to keep plugging away, need to tackle the people who go on holiday to Spain
and close their eyes to the dog dirt and starving dogs……
Thanks for caring and commenting.
