  • Marching in Spain 14 September – remembering the 32 souls in Azuaga Badajoz

    From Plataforma NAC

    Indifference kills.

    This Sunday 14 September we raise our voices for those who could not defend themselves.

    32 lives killed by starvation and neglect in Azuaga (Badajoz). They were not forgotten. It was not an accident. It was cruelty.

    245 animal protection entities, including some international ones, unite to demand justice and that this massacre never happens again https://plataformanac.org/concentracion-azuaga-14…/

    Dozens of dogs have died between suffering, indifference and silence. We cannot allow barbarism to go unpunished.

    This Sunday, September 14, from 11h to 13h, in Plaza de la Merced (opposite the Azuaga City Hall), we will raise our voice for those who no longer have it.

    Because their life matters. Because they’re not tools. Because neglect and abuse kills.

    Come. Shout. Spread the word. Let it not be repeated.

  • PACMA Trying to get justice for the 32 in Badajoz – 14 september

    PACMA 32 9 2025 350
    32 dogs died of hunger and abandonment in Azuaga (Badajoz).

    They weren’t found in time, they didn’t get a second chance. They died slowly, silently, victims of indifference and a system that continues to allow mistreatment and impunity.

    On Sunday, September 14, we have the opportunity to raise our voice for them and for all the animals who still suffer. We can’t look away.

    Sunday 14 September 11:00 a 13:00h Plaza de la Merced (in front of the City Hall) – Azuaga

    Because society no longer tolerates these atrocities.

    Because their deaths cannot be forgotten.

    Because we don’t want more invisible victims.

    Come, join us, share and join the collective cry:

    LET IT NOT BE REPEATED

    From Asociacion Del Sur in Cordoba

    We don’t stop. We are desperate. The galgueros don’t stop dumping and abandoning dogs destined for hunting. This galgo was abandoned in a village of Jaén. They’ve been behind her for 5 days to rescue her. He could have starved to death or a heat stroke, it’s coming very badly. She is now safe at our shelter.

    WE NEED TO FUND OVER 100 DOGS. YOU CAN HELP US IN THIS WAY:

  • Ban hunting with Spanish galgos – it’s all about money!

    Video of galgos hunting. Why all the horses?!! Good on the hare for putting up such a good run – sad the circumstances – all for sick human ‘entertainment’.

  • This week is National Greyhound Week


    Racing with greyhounds is NOT a sport, too many are injured, die or are exported to Asia where they have a hellish rest-of-life and end up in a dog meat slaughterhouse. UK and Irish greyhounds suffer, as well as the galgos.

  • PACMA demand talks with the DG of the Civil Guard about abuse and abandonment of hunting dogs in Spain

    PACMA have the following update on the situation of the 32 dogs found dead at Badajoz.

    ‘We have requested an urgent meeting with the Director General of the Civil Guard to address the problem of the systematic abuse and abandonment of dogs used in hunting, who live in deplorable conditions and suffer especially during the summer.

    We are doing so after learning, just a few days ago, of the starvation death of a pack of 32 dogs in Azuaga (Badajoz). We travelled to learn firsthand what happened and to ask the City Council to make a public statement and to take part in the case (watch the video here).

  • Foster or Adopt a Senior – they have just as much love to give


    From Galgos 112

    Have you thought about it, meditated, balance the pros and cons… but you don’t want a dog that’s too “active”.. Have you thought about a grandpa or grandma?

    And why not?….. Growing up doesn’t mean they have nothing left to give..

    They are caring, calm, understand perfectly the basic rules, they do not need so much activity as a younger one, they have not lost curiosity to know new places and things

  • 32 hunting dogs found dead of starvation in hellhole Badajoz

    Badajoz dead dogs 1 8 2025 350
    From PACMA

    32 hunting dogs found dead of starvation in Azuaga (Badajoz). Abandoned since June!

    Just a week ago we asked the Civil Guard from PACMA to increase inspections to hunters and facilities for this very reason.
    This case has been made public. No one knows about so many others. They rot in absolute silence and forgetfulness after having gone through a ordeal before dying.

  • Proyecto Galgo Argentina – time to properly regulate the perreras


    From Proyecto Galgo Argentina

    We request the opening of the zoonosis (perreras) centers and kennels of Santa Cruz

    By this means, we request all localities in the Province of Santa Cruz to guarantee the opening to the public of zoonosis centers and municipal kennels, where animals removed from public roads are housed.

    This request is based on the right to access to information, the ordinances in force in each locality and, mainly, in compliance with the National Animal Protection Act N. ° 14.346/54, which establishes the duty of providing dignified treatment to animals.
