Spain is the only country which still allows hunting with galgos/greyhounds. The annual massacre of these beautiful dogs is about to begin, as the hunting season draws to a close. Their hellish existence is now about to move on to their unbelievably cruel destruction by the hunters – who sadistically inflict pain and torture on those who cannot fight back.
The galgos’ dear friend Charl wrote this very moving appeal
Señor Galguero!
Señor galguero, I sat waiting and waiting today as time passed and my hunger grew. You never came, even though we who are here fear your footsteps. You may just bring us those crumbs of bread which we all have to fight for, even though we wish there was enough for us all.
It’s cold in here tonight and the floor is damp, I cannot sit and I cannot lie down but for you, my master, I will wait in the cold and feel the hunger. When I saw you last you came and took my mother, I still await her return but she just has not come back. I don’t understand, Señor Galguero, for I am a good galgo and I try my hardest.

This is the most upsetting thing I have ever read. Read it if you dare, and if it moves you as it did me, please share so that others know!
