18 more galgos on death row, it’s a never ending stream, and that’s not counting the other abandoned and dumped dogs….how does a human being live with themselves when they spend their working life killing dogs? Contact Maribel if anyone has room to take any of these poor souls.

Zaragoza Killing Station – podencos need saving – please help
The hunting season is now over and hunters are getting rid of their ‘4-footed tools’!
These are the Perricos to be slaughtered in a few days at the Zaragoza perrera. This is the appeal I received‘We are only two volunteers who have many dogs in kennels which we pay the fees and we can’t take any more dogs. We have all this responsibility on our shoulders and we desperately need adopters for the dogs in our care, and more so we need special people who can rescue these young podencos before they are sacrificed in a few days.

End of hunting season in Spain – galgueros dump their dogs en masse!!
I can’t keep up with it all on Galgo News, just too much to post; galgos and podencos abandoned throughout winter, refuges full to bursting, embalming galgos rears its ugly head again – more in another post – and now galgueros dumping their dogs at the refuges and shelters. Yet more galgos dumped in the perreras, and now cutting microchips out of the dogs before dumping. How do the volunteers cope?
Now I’ll tell you about a man who could make a change but hasn’t.

Extremadura hunters – Fepaex says ‘take responsibility for your dogs!’
Podencos and galgos both suffer unimagineable cruelty at the hands of the Spanish hunters and gitanos – Spanish gypsies. Most publicity comes from the regions of Andalucia and Murcia, as well as the Spanish Islands Ibiza and the Canary Islands. However, the Spanish interior including the region of Extremadura is also hell on earth for galgos and podencos. Here is a report from Fepaex – Federacion de Protectoras de Animales de Extremadura.THE PROBLEM for HUNTING DOGS in EXTREMADURA = Irresponsible HUNTERS + passive and complicit

Spanish hunters – the galgo massacre begins! Scooby appeals
This is the hunters’ answer to the publicity about them hanging their dogs. These men are sick, there is no reasoning with them, they are a blight on Spain and the majority of Spanish people. This message just received from Scooby.
Dear Friends,
Today is February 1st. The end of the hunting season is upon us and for this reason our phones and emails have not stopped with people asking us for help to take dogs. Today we got two phone calls from Seville. The shelters there are full, and many of them have waiting lists to take dogs. But what is even worse that we heard today, is the galgueros are threatening to remove the microchip from the dogs and let them roam free in the streets, left to die.

Jerez – death row – and the massacre continues! Shame on the galgueros!
Yet again, another list of poor galgos and a podenco on death row in the Jerez killing station. Did you know there are two killing stations in Jerez – Jerez and Gesser, the latter is a private one and it is claimed that they look after the dogs in their care better, food and water provided.
I have lost count of the number of galgo pictures sent to me this winter, of galgos in Jerez and Gesser and Mairena – all disposed of by the hunters………they couldn’t care less. Contact Maribel if anyone can help these pour souls.
When will the Spanish government, regional and municipal councils, hunting and racing federations going to realise the power of the Internet, how much adverse publicity this gives to Spain? So many people vote with their feet and their purses now – won’t go on holiday in Spain and the Spanish islands, won’t buy food produced in Spain.
Millions of Spaniards are unaware of this – why should the minority of hunters and bull fighters and other Spanish animal abusers erode the International image of this country. Always the same, the minority ruin life for the majority.
Pray that there will be some corner, some shelter for these poor abused souls. But all of them are overflowing, submerged beneath the sheer mass of abandoned and injured dogs. Support them, in any of the appeals I run. Even 10 euros will help towards buying food, vaccinations etc.
