This dog will die in 21 days. Why should it? What is its crime? It was born a galgo in Spain! Some bastard galguerro took it to the Mairena perrera, paid perhaps a few euros, and left it there, to be starved for 21 days before killing it. And there are dozens of them arriving every day, and it is not yet near the end of the hunting season!
I have some more figures for getting a dog out of Mairena killing station. 45 euros per dog. They then go to a kennel where the vet microchips and vaccinates them and prepares their passport. Then there is the bloodtest for Leishmania etc., plus tick and flea treatment.
So, be assured that if anyone can get any of these dogs out of the Mairena killing station, they can all prepared with the correct paperwork for transport out of Spain. So, that is no more than what some of the rescue associations pay for taking a dog out of a refuge in Spain, with the correct paperwork.
We need to know more about these killing stations, not just for the galgos, but for all of Spain’s abandoned dogs – treated as trash. Look at the conditions they are kept in. Just a concrete floor, no bedding, green water, dog dirt on the floor.
What is wrong with Spain? It’s as bad as a Third World Country! I can’t believe how the volunteers at the refuges and shelters, and the marvellous Spanish based rescue associations cope with this gigantic problem, day in and day out.
More dogs on death row. WHY do they deserve to die? How much love could they give to their master/mistress? Can anyone help them.
And please publicise the horror of the killing stations everywhere. Expose what goes on in Spain!
The only company these poor dogs have is each other – huddled together to comfort each other – terrified – why have they been put here……………Why should they die?
We really have to all expose the vile treatment of animals in Spain, not just dogs but all the animals which are treated as though life has no value. We must all pull together in raising our voices and letting Spain know that their behaviour will not be accepted. It claims it is a part of civilised Europe…………..ha!

Hi Angela
Thank you for commenting on the killing
stations. How marvellous that you were able to save 3 dogs from one.
You are right, we all need to work together to stop the suffering of Spanish
dogs. Please keep reading and join in the campaigns we run, at least now
there are hundreds more people around the world who know what goes on in
Spain.
Keep reading and commenting, and send me any news
you have about the perreras and killing stations – we need to expose what is
going on.

Hi
Yes, Valarie, it is heartbreaking – all these
thousands of dogs in Spain, send to perreras to be killed – they didnt ask to
be born – abandoned like trash. There will be some more campaigns being
run soon to target the Spanish government and other Spanish organisations, and
we need everyones support to let them know just how many tens of thousands of
us hate what Spain does to its animals – and how they flout EU laws.
France, where I live, is not so good, but nothing compares to what goes on in
its neighbour Spain.
Please get as many people as possible to follow
Galgo News and to join in the campaigns which we run and which we connect to
through other websites.
Your support is invaluable.

I applaud your sentiments and comments. I live in Spain and have been taking in abandoned dogs for nine years. It is an emotionally draining experience and at times impossible to cope with. I have known some people to have complete breakdowns in there health. So I’m grateful for all the strong people who can help. It is not just Spain that has a problem but humanity in general that treats life with such disrespect.

Thank you for your comments on this post. I
have the utmost respect for all of you who live in Spain and cope with the
endless maltreatment of animals in a so-called civilised society. Ive
heard Spain described as a banana republic and a third world country and I
cant believe how you all manage to keep on, year after year, trying to help the
abandoned and maltreated animals. It must be so frustrating to feel that
it is a never ending cycle. Which is why I try and publicise as much as I
can of what goes on in Spain, the good and the bad, and hope that one day we and
all the associations and refuges and shelters can get together en masse and get
something done in Spain to change all this. We have to keep trying, and
all you volunteers have to know that we are supporting you as much as we
can.
Please keep reading Galgo News and send me any news
or information which you feel should be publicised on GN.
