Federacion Andaluz de Galgos – let’s all tweet for the tortured galga!
Re the galga tortured, burned, babies stolen. This suggestion is on Save the Galgo on Facebook. Let’s all do it! ‘Maybe it would be an idea to tweet to the Federacion de galgos andalucian directly at @FAG43 and keep on confronting them with pictures and abusive situations like this. Organisations can be blocked, but no individuals. They have recently opened a twitter account. Maybe we can shut them down again…
http://www.federacionandaluzadegalgos.com/. Look at their page, click on their twitter and let’s get going.
NB I don’t understand tweeting, so please can someone explain what to do, do you click on ‘tweet’ and then write a message, or what? -
