This photo is actually a still from a video showing dozens of hunting dogs including podencos tied on short chains to a field plough and pulled behind either a tractor or Land Cruiser type vehicle. Some of the dogs are trying to jump out, barking, howling…it’s unbelievable. The video is currently only available on facebook so I have asked that it be uploaded onto Youtube and then I can link to it for you all to see the horror! I don’t have details of when and where it was taken, have asked those questions too.

you know most of these hunters are not right in their sodding heads how would they feel getting dragged behind a vehicle against their will terrified going to end up getting seriously injured or even worse sort your brains out you annoy me

i can well imagine beryl dont i cant watch it i know this blog is for the letting people know the cruelty of these poor souls and i cant help but see what pics come with it on some of them but if i can help not seeing the other worse things i will it creases me it really does i have been close to break down when i first started following gal news and pod post i cant get bk to that stage agin no good for anything i coping just about wwith pics i can t help seeing i couldnt get my head round the way the gals and pods where getting treated at first i think my brain and body went into over load shock and whaen i bought you book heaven to hell that was it and the poem charl wrote at the bk woooo it blew me big time i am reading it all over again now bit by bit but i do know i cant read the poem again no way cant take it
I try not to post the really dreadful photos because I dont want people to turn away from reading Galgo News and Podenco Post and I bear in mind that many of the stories upset people. For 6 years now I have been reporting what happens to the galgos and podencos in Spain and I have sat at my computer many a time and wept tears for the pain the dogs go through – all so unnecessary. And Im just reporting – the emotional and physical strength of the volunteers who actually deal with all these cases overwhelms me. They are indeed angels on earth.
Makes me wonder just how low these people can get with the way they treat these beautiful dogs.
Heartbreaking to see the pic, but need to know what’s happening in an attempt to try and stop it.
Unbelievable! Words just can’t ever truly describe what these dogs go through each and every day. I totally agree, Beryl, the rescuers are awesome – I take my hat off to them all for what they do over there. It’s heartbreaking to think that for every precious soul saved there are probably quite literally, hundreds dying.
