Link to a story of a galguero who shot dead his galgo in the boot of his car, in Zamora. This is a google translation.

It is worth doing IMHO.
P.s. the poor galgo seemed to be in a good physical condition, why this monster of an owner did not bring him to a shelter?!
a good question, Tunde. I reckon some of them just like having the power of life and death over a defenceless being – whether it is an animal or children…sick bastards.
I like, too having the power of life and death over a defenceless being…
For example yesterday we caught the young tom of a neighbour of us. The tom is now approx. 8 months and our neighbour is in financial distress so she can not afford any vet costs right now.
Today we had the big appointment at the vet’s and we generously added approx. 10 years to the tom’s young life by neutering him. He was also tested negative for FIV and FeLV and in a week the vaccinations will start against a couple of deadly diseases. He is also a happy new owner of a microchip now, as a little extra Xmas present.
That is also a decision about life and death.
Pity some galgueros execute this power in a perverted way.
