When I published my definitive guide to the plight of the galgo – From Heaven to Hell – in 2010 it contained a report from a volunteer named Rosa on the problems with one of the reputedly worst privately owner perreras in Spain, Olivenza. For years animal activists/association have been fighting to get it closed down permanently. I have now received this appeal from Mo Swatek of Pro-galgo International, please sign and share the petition.

Helpless animals who have not asked to come into this world, but are here nevertheless, deserve to be able to live their lives in full and in comfort and not be tortured unto death.
When I am thinking of Spain, I see more bloodshed, cruelty than beauty of their country and nation, especially their government which is supporting this! It is about time that Spain is making a true connection in compassion and respect towards ALL lifeform, not only the human one. It is about time Spain is showing the world, that they really want to change their bad and cruel reputation permanently! I urge the goverment to stop all violence towards animals and to promote with all means, a truly civilized attitude towards ALL living beings! Wise and bright leaders will never ever support bloodshed, but will prevent this with all means!
This pure cruelty !!!!!!!!!!!!
