This poor soul was found on 16 April near the shelter Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville. Galgos aus Spanien are helping her recovery. which will be expensive! She is a small galga, only 52cm, and looks as though her hair will be brindle. She’s been called Violeta.
Yet again, we ask how can any ‘human’ being let a dog get in this condition.
SOS Galgos in Barcelona have now got their new website in English. Click on this link – if it takes you to the Spanish website, just click on the Union Jack at the top of the page. They are still working on completing the information on some pages.
You will see their claim – 160 galgos abandoned every day, that’s 58,400 galgos every year – so much for those people who have said to me ‘you exaggerate’ when I say 50,000. SOS Galgos is based in Barcelona city, in the veterinary clinic of Albert, which is where the operations – shown in the photos – were carried out.
The king was actually about to go to Botswana to hunt elephants. He then fell and broke his hip. Let’s hope he falls and breaks his other. Little hope for animals in Spain when the King goes abroad and pays more than 30.000 euros to kill an Elehpant.
It’s on the news at the moment. A polemic palava of which government parties are against so they can score points, the PP don’t want to say anything, as more priority is the economic situation of Spain. Barcelona is against it; they will do anything to be against Spain, but no-one seems to care about the animal, nor what its ‘murder’ resembles. Apparantly it was a visit organised in secret. So… While the people of Spain are starving, and elsewhere in the world, and while animals are dying, the King os Spain spends tax payers money on hunting elephants. Where’s the justice?
SIGN THE PETITION Tell the king of spain to stop hunting animals of extinction.
Educating the younger generations is one of the ways of trying to change the attitude of the spanish towards animal care – that cruelty to animals is not acceptable. Several associations work towards this end, DDEVIDA and Pro-Galgo to name just two. A third one is 112carlotagalgos. You can read more about their visit to a local school on this link. Read the latest news about Greta longnose, a beautiful galga which we fostered for 4 months before she travelled to her forever home.
This poor girl is with SOS Cuenca in Murcia. She has obviously had a hard life, wounds on her body, skin and bone, had babies….she’s called Flora and she’s 5 years old and 67 cm, just a small gal. If you can offer her a forever home contact SOS Cuenca
Kama’s Cave have been helping greyhounds for a few years, and are nov also helping galgos. They have linked in with Galgo Love Foundation, Belgium. Have a look at their website here.

The fourth and final part of Hounding Misery by Nano Calvo. As always, stunning photos and plenty of food for thought.
Another killing of galgos!!! This time near Benicarló. This happened in February 2012. The corpses are partly burned and beneath the galgos are bones from earlier killings. IT´S ENOUGH, BASTARDS!!!
