Transport from Spain to Germany – dogs and cats die in the heat!
With the open borders in Europe policy, it is easy for anyone to travel to Spain and take a dog out of a perrera to home in another country. There are no checks at the border, and the animals, dogs especially, are adopted in all innocence by someone who then finds themself with a sick animal. It is instances such as this which caused Belgium, two years ago, to threaten to accept imported dogs,
At the end of June this year, 20 dogs and cats died whilst being transported from southern Spain to Germany. Pro-Galgo have the story.

Letter-writing campaign – join in – Spanish government, embassies….
Please copy and send this letter to the Spanish government, provincial governments and Spanish embassies around the world. You will find the addresses in the links at the end of the letter. I realise you are all busy people, but it is important that we keep up the pressure on Spain to do something about the mass abandonment of hunting dogs every year.
I realise also that postage is expensive if you are sending a dozen letters but, again, it’s not a lot of money if we can help make a difference, and help the noble volunteers in Spain and the Spanish islands every year all year with the mass abandonment of dogs.
Would associations also please link in and ask their members and supporters to join in. We need letters to go out in their hundreds – thousands would be even better!
