This is a plea for donations of things which can be used for the puppies, such as an old fruit box, blankets, towels, anything to keep these puppies warm till help arrives for them. Some have already died from the cold.

Starving galga in a terrible state on the streets of Seville; very frightened and only approaches food when the person leaving it for her goes away; she won’t survive much longer. This person cannot afford to feed the dog and askes for an association to catch her. Please help.
I know this isn’t about a galgo,it is about a donkey, and Refugio El Burrito is the donkey refuge where our friend Charl holds her annual Fiesta de Galgos. Please sign and circulate.
‘Dear friends, we need your help. As you can read from the enclosure, the February 16 we will be present at Villanueva together with the responsible of the Refugio of the Burrito to avoid that a donkey is brutally abused during a cruel village party. Here is the appeal received from the spanish friends of the Refugio del Burrito that we are spreading:
“El Refugio del Burrito will be present at the Pero Palo and so will be also the Italian collegues of the CEDA – Comitato Europeo Difesa Animali ; we ask you to support our petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/peropalo/
to enforce the Town Hall to enforce the Law and stop the use of a donkey in this Carnival. We do hope that also other associations from abroad will be present with their representatives, or will at least send their official support to us (info@elrefugiodelbu rrito.com) and / or at the CEDA (info@animalitalia. it).”
Charl’s latest update on the white galgo with baler twine round its neck and now an injured hind leg.
14/02/2010 ‘I am frantic about the galgo, more since he has the bailing twine around his neck. I hope he comes back now the workers have gone. Vera who helped out with the galgas brindles… and took the light brown one, the others went to Silvia with a podenco I think, well she lives not too far away, she has gone when I can’t go so the hours are covered, but theres no sign of him in the last few days. Lets keep praying!
I hope many of you have supported my letter writing campaigns to the European Commission. In a letter dated 2nd February 2010, Mmme Andrea Gavinelli, Head of the Unit of Animal Health and Welfare has advised me of the following:
‘In accordance with the objectives of the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010, the Commission is working continuously in order to increase awareness on animal welfare issues among European citizens. To this effect, the Commission will organise the first International Conference on Education and Animal Welfare on 1 & 2 October 2010.’
I wonder if any of the rescue associations are aware and would like to contact Mme Gavinelli about it. Commission Europeenne, B-1049 Bruxelles, Belgium.
This is about a donkey in Extramadura, a hell hole for galgos and certainly for donkeys.
Please link here to read about it and add your name to the petition.
Come many to join us on April 11, 2010 at 13:30 at the carpark of l’ Abbey of Maredsous for a canine ballade in company of the greyhound gang. You will be able to discover very beautiful places located around our village and this on a course of approximately 7 km. Maredsous is in Belgium, between Dinant and Namur.
At the end of the ballade a glass of wine and a shield will be given to you in order to know more; also a boutique stall so you can learn about our association.
Please email lydia.toussaint@skynet.be
Thank you in advance
Estrella is looking for a forever home. She was diagnosed with Ehrlichia at the beginning of January, a very low reading, but, for whatever reason, treatment was never commenced, even when she went to her foster home. The only ‘symptom’ she shows, if one can call it a symptom, is weight loss, but that could also be due to the fact that they don’t bother to feed the dogs in the killing station. The only reason she was not killed is because someone had shown an interest in her.
A couple of days ago I posted about our friend Charl in Malaga desperately trying to rescue a terrified galgo with a cord round his neck. This is the latest news from her.
‘I have been out the past few days and evenings pacing looking for the white galgo. He keeps coming back to the same location, however there are workmen fumigating and he has been put off. It appears that they are fumigating the palm trees so the liquid goes directly into the tree. I hope that is all they are doing since any other fumigation is dangerous for our galgo.
