A member of the Service of Protection of the Nature (Seprona) of the Civil Guard of Don Benito rescued a galgo from the waters of the channel of Navalvillar de Pela as, due to the extremely steep incline, it could not get out.
The rescue, according to the Delegation of the Government, took place on 10th January in the morning, during the usual monitoring of the canal.
The galgo was inside the channel with part of its body submerged in the water and the agents of the SEPRONA, with just their hands and helped by a strap, were able to tie the dog and to rescue it. The poor dog had blood-stained legs, wounds produced when trying to get out of the channel.
What a surprise! It had no identification so no means of tracing the owner! Usual problem for galgos. So it was transferred to the shelter Protector Prado of Don Benito for treatments to its wounds.
In the course of 2009 the Civil Guard of Badajoz has recovered a total of 182 animals, not only domestic but also rare examples of threatened species like eagles, lions, iguanas, vultures. The animal were transferred to official centres of Recovery and Protection, under the specific care of veterinarians.
Pro-Galgo association will take over the care of the galgo from 25th January, who has been named Felix. If you can offer him a forever home, contact Pro-Galgo direct.

Que esta pasando en el mundo de los perros?
HOmbres siguen abusando horriblemente de los animales
que Dios nos dejo para protejer.
Los Galgos son bellisimos, porque tanto abuso?
Estos hombres deven pagar por su crimen con bastante tiempo en la carcel.

Hola
Convengo
con usted, los hombres que hacen estas cosas a los galgos deben ser castigados
seriamente. ¿Pero quién lo hará? Muchas de la policía tienen la familia que es
cazadores, los jueces pueden ser los cazadores o tener la familia que son
cazadores. Los miembros del sistema legislativo y los consejos en España son
corruptos, así que es una batalla muy difícil nosotros que todo tiene. Gracias
por comentar y cuidar.

Thankful that they got him out. ONE ‘lucky’ dog and this is after he was thrown in. What about the other 49,999?????

Bonjour
Figures now being talked of are
100,000!
And I am sure the Spanish shelters and volunteers
are dreading what is in store in the next few weeks – Id like to go in and hang
every galguero who does not keep his dog and treat it well. It all makes
me very angry, and Im over the border in France!

What a beautiful loolking greyhound. A greyhound and her 7 pups were dumped outside a local shop on news years eve. The mother had an open wound the size of a dinner plate and the pups looked in good condition. They were saved by an animal charity but I do not know if the mother cou;d be helped. When will it ever end!?
Bonjour Tina
If you can find out any details of the dogs and the animal charity etc, please send them to me, Ill happily give them good publicity and try and help them.
Your continued support is always appreciated.
