Some years ago I published a story about the maltreatment of greyhounds in Australia and a couple of trainers commented and vigorously denied it happened. Here’s the proof. Would that we could achieve a success like this against the bastard galgueros who over-breed and maltreat their hounds.

Tombola draw results – raising funds for Pepis Dog Refuge
Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for my tombola raising funds for Pepis Dog Refuge. A disappointing response, only 36 tickets sold – 180 euros – so thank you again to those of you who took part. I donated all but one of the prizes – Pat King kindly donated the pet portrait, so I’m afraid I’ll have to ask winners to pay postage. Here are the results, my friend Jenny Robinson picked the numbers to place on the prizes. Photos below, plus postage – which please paypal to me band@bbrennan.eu and I’ll confirm when the prize is on its way.

Spain – a pet is rescued every 5 minutes!
When will authorities start to deal with the uncontrolled overbreeding of animals, not just dogs, and mass abandonment? Do they not realise what a blight it is on a country that relies a lot for income on the tourist industry?

Levriers sans Frontieres – 30 more galgos to homes in France
Photos of the latest rescue trip by Levriers sans Frontieres of 30 galgos from Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert shelter near Seville, to homes in France. Great for the galgos but, with at least one association travelling into Spain to bring galgos back to France for homing, France is sinking under the number! It’s getting more and more difficult for them all to find homes.

Are galgos carriage hounds?
The Junta in Andalucia had no regard for the health and well being of galgos when they rescinded the law banning hounds being trained from motorised vehicles – whether vans, 4×4, quad bikes, motorbike. This ignoramus would have got round the ban anyway…can you believe this?!! How close are those galgos to the carriage wheels! They don’t stand a chance if he puts the horse into trot!!! I’d like to rope him to the back of that cart….seen in the area of Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville!
You may just be able to see there are 3 dogs – the chain of the white one in the middle is going over the carriages leaf springs, and the only way for that poor dog to get on the inside again is to get right beside that carriage wheel!
