Another rescue of galgos and podencos, one pregnant. Tina of Galgos del Sol tells the story.
’10 February 2017. We got a call to say that a galguero locally had been closed down and fined by Seprona and could we help take the dogs. This was an emotional case for us because its on our doorstep and we had been waiting for some time for this news. We had approached before to help to no avail and we had reached out to the authorities but nothing happened. There are a lot of ghosts around this place I don’t want to write about them but I’ve seen them and I’ve cried and I’ve waited this moment.
It’s not over yet tho, with one very ill galgo, the stress of the move threw him into extreme panic… Usually I stay calm but emotions & memories from the past here just took over and now I’m utterly drained instead of happy, the pressure got too much at the collapse of one of the galgos. (The vet put the muzzle on, as the galgo became extremely aggressive out of sheer terror).
Thank you Nina for coming and helping and documenting this journey, she was hidden behind the camera but was there all the way! Allison & Geoff held the fort with the kennels, thank you!’
Galgos del Sol shelter is in Murcia in the area where the DeAnimals lawyers and Umprona animal welfare police are working hard to pursue such cases as this. Shame the galguero only got fined, better that he were incarcerated like his dogs and subjected to treatment such as he inflicted on them to cause such terror.
