15th November 2011 – Badajoz, galgo found hanged
I make no apologies for posting this photo. On 15th November 2011, this galgo was found hanged by schoolchildren who went hiking in the SIERRA DE TENTUDIA, Badajoz, Extremadura.
The hunters still claim they do not hang dogs, that all reports are exaggerated. The truth is out there on the Internet for the world to see – THEY LIE
Pray for the soul of this poor galgo, that its suffering is at an end. Curse the bastard who did this and brings shame on a country where so many brave people work to stop the cruelty, and whose lives are threatened if they expose the truth.

Galgo lucky to be alive – between the main road and the train tracks in Seville!
Trying hard to catch up with all the news, as I had to go to the UK urgently and didn’t have access to Internet. But that didn’t stop the appeals coming into my Inbox, galgos galore being abandoned everywhere, dumped in killing stations by the dozen…it doesn’t get any easier for the volunteers,.
Here’s a galgo rescued from the side of a railway track and a main road. No chip, about two years old. Macu has taken him in but desperately needs a shelter or foster home for him. He’s in Seville. Can anyone help? Contact macu19782010@hotmail.com mobile 665809169 Sevilla

Catching a galga and puppies – volunteers face this all the time
This is the story in pictures of the capture of galgo Zoe and her pups, out in the wilds of Murcia. It took a week to catch her, adn then only by using a tranquiliser dart. Thanks to the incredible team of Tina and Gill of Galgos del Sol and to Antonio with his dart gun.
And you can also read about Leanne; they’ve been trying for 18 months to catch her!
It’s another example of what so many of the rescue associations and volunteers cope with, the strain of what they live with, and how long it can take to catch a frightened galga. If you would like to donate towards the vet fees for microchips, vaccinations, blood tests etc. please click on the link.

The horror of Las Cuadras, Seville – the reality of life for the animals there
L’Europe des Levriers is the French association from whom I adopted my 3 galgos and with whom I have worked on rescues. This is the story of the gypsy camp of Las Cuadras in Seville, as told by their President, Beatrice Monnet, on their website. At the end of this report, you can see a video of the Fundacion Benjamin Menhert on one of their rescues – 600 dogs taken out of the camp in one year!
‘Since its inception in 2006, L’Europe des Levriers has repeatedly denounced the terrible camp galgueros Las Cuadras in Seville. Cristina, our Vice President, regularly rescues galgos and podencos from this hell. We go to our kennels in Madrid every 3 or 4 months to bring these rescued dogs to France for adoption.

This appeal just in today. ‘Subject: URGENT !!!!! Great danger. Save Mama Galga and babies. ABANDONed Córdoba – arqueologa83@gmail.com

These pups are at high risk, their mom is a galga (still no pictures of her), she is lame in one leg. We assume she has run for food for her babies and
goes in search of food leaving them alone with the risk that entails. Besides that, she goes through an area where there are many hunters and now it has started to rain. -
