A Spanish volunteer tells her story.
“My name is Carmen and I grew up in a village close to Seville in the South of Spain. I always liked animals (when I was a child I always wanted to have a cat). However, I never got any because “animals are not for homes but for the countryside”. I remember seeing galgueros riding a motorbike and pulling 5 or 6 galgos behind for training. This was a familiar picture, so it looked normal to me. I never asked myself why there were always different galgos from season to season. I cannot remember having wondered about the fate of those galgos I did not see anymore.’

One response to “Arca, Seville – a volunteer tells her story”
I read the entire story of Carmen’s raised conscience and loudly applaud her for her ability to think critically and change for the better. And not to transcend her “cultural blind spot” but also take an active role in rescuing and helping the hunting dogs in Spain. Thank you, Carmen. We need a whole army of people like you!
