Seville galgos, Cuenca galgos, Albacete galgo – abandoned by galgueros Anyone help?
Please can anyone squeeze in these two temporarily, the galguero is going to get rid of them….he doesn’t say how. Puri says ‘I have no room, he is giving me until Monday to do something. I have offered a refuge that can take care of them in terms of veterinary and other expenses but do not have room, so I need shelter for two.’

ESDAW – fighting for the rights of abused animals across Europe
This is the link to ESDAW, a new organisation formed at the beginning of 2011 to work on getting European law on animal protection enforced across all member states. Their vice president lives near to me, so I am looking forward to meeting her and discussing how we can put more pressure on both the EU – and in my case Spain – to help make a difference. I like to think that we will provide support in this area which the marvellous volunteers, associations and refuges in Spain – and across Europe – do not always have the time to devote, as they daily cope with the overwhelming pressure of dealing with abandoned, sick and injured dogs.

Spanish Galgos injured, abandoned, mistreated, the Galgueros perpetrate the horror
I don’t know how the volunteers and associations in Spain keep their stamina and emotions, I am getting more emails in this year than ever since Galgo News started in 2007 and I am sickened by the sheer volume of galgos in perreras, abandoned in the street, hung from trees, kicked and stoned, abandoned to be injured on motorways……..it is simply unbelievable that the authorities in Spain remain blinkered about how this affects the international perception of Spain.
Here are some more stories……….help if you can.

Hanged galgos in Toledo – Baas Galgo takes the murderer to Court
Sickening story of animal abuse but, at the same time, heartening if the perpetrator is brought to justice and severe penalties inflicted on him. Story received today from Baas Galgo.
A man confessed to having hanged his greyhounds because “it was the custom to do so at the end of the hunting season”. The animals had a microchip, which helped to locate the culprit. This case is being investigated by the court of Torrijos and the hunter faces a prison sentence.
