(Google translation)This is happening in a terrible area in the south of Madrid specifically in Leganés, muchisimos have rescued animals that have been used to sparring (bait to attack other dogs then used for dogfighting.
The police is aware of these facts, the council too, but here nobody does anything.
Neither do raids or inspections usually, this is a horror and no other option left for us to hand it to publicly know, maybe this way begin to take action.
Cases rescued from the area :
Bianka, shattered three months, used twice to sparring
Vienna, shattered, with clear signs of having been also used for the same, collected in the same area .. Nice collection there too full of bites and in very poor condition.
Life, collecting a dumpster with the neck cracking of taking away the chip, survived by a miracle!
Those responsible for this county are strongly encouraged to do something, because they know what is happening there, take action, starting to complain every time he enters an animal kennel in these conditions we ordered. Collaborate with local police, with Seprona providing data of these scoundrels to surely have more to fichados ..
Today we found also there a dead galgo and I think it must start something serious, not enough to lament, to mourn, to curse, to leave us life in attempting to recover these poor creatures, here government agencies must begin YA to mobilise ..
From there we have taken also to very many more animals, galgos, puppies, hunting dogs, there abandon all, we have also discovered a pit uncovered, where this will surely provide them with a lot of these criminals, get rid of all the evidence.
A Galgo found dead…video (warning, upsetting pictures)
I have asked for a translation of the film commentary

I am not looking at this poor sodding galgo and the rest who are found lifeless and in terrible states these idiots responsible have got to be 2slices short of a bread loaf to think this is ok you poor babies aw bless you sweethearts all you will of ever known is pain and sorrow in your short little life its over for you now but still not fair and certainly not right
BBC Panorama did an undercover report about dog-fighting in the U.K. You can watch it or read the text online. It’s a growing “sport” all over the world. They’ll kidnap pets from the street to use as “bait.” It’s partly j ust because people are fouldand sadistic, partlyfor makin g m oney – a “good” fighter can be worth as much as a new car and can gain many times his price in bets -and partly for money-laundering by criminal gangs, Mafia, etc. If a dog l oses, they’ll torturehim and leave him to diein agony.I don’t think the police do m u ch to stopitin any country. Also, sellin g the equipment is another b profitable business.
These atrocities must be made known. If more people are aware of this, something can be done.
People who are involved in this blood sport are not worthy of citizenship. They are scum who will prey on any vulnerable being.
This translation explains the commentary on the video. Thank you Cristina for doing it. ..I have listened to the video and translated it as best as I can – it is so sad, I am so sorry that there are things like this going on! – it is so heartbreaking …Basically the Police & The Town Hall are not interested in the awful things that are going on with the animals – how long will this slaughtering (if that is the right word) go on for? – also, the lady talking, doing the report is saying what a disgrace, but I feel she is feeling much more, a tragedy – (which it is!) It seems that in the midst of a beautiful / picturesque vast landscape there is a rubbish dump, south of Madrid, I think in an area called ‘la zona de Bianca’, which is where these abusers organize dog fights, and then later throw them here practically dead!!! …she is completely disgusted and shocked, mortified at what is happening and the lady reporting gets so emotional reporting about this she is in tears. There is a well which is not only dangerous for animals, being a hole in the ground, but for people too – and who knows whether they throw any animals down there and then cover the opening up with wood and stones! The Galgo featured in this video, is no longer alive, they try to clean up, only to find that it must have been there already for 15 days or so and I’m not sure exactly what happened to the Galgo, only it had a hole on the underside of it’s body, poor thing, and was in such a sorry state, bless …the lady is so upset, it is really upsetting to watch this, how animals, such beautiful Galgos, any animals can be treated this way – made to fight – then abandoned in such a state – unthinkable! The Police and The Town Hall seem to be doing nothing to stop this from happening – they are both fully aware – what a disgrace the lady points out – what a disgrace indeed, a tragedy, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, this must stop now! This is really upsetting that Police or the Town Hall aren’t doing more to put a stop to this…it is only by the grace of God that there are good, kind people in the world that care enough to do something about this – I pray for the Galgos that are in need now, …that they find strength and love in a loving home and that they can learn to trust again
