Further appeal from Greyhound Action
Every day more horror stories come in from Spain, abandoned, injured and starving galgos – and the hunters still deny it goes on! Three appeals for help, if anyone can squeeze any of these dogs into a shelter or foster home, please contact the people direct.
1. Galgo rescued by the Association AYANDENA in Seville, the greyhound is more dead than alive, with horrendous injuries to his hind leg, flesh is missing down to the bone. He urgently needs care, need help with veterinary costs. Irene Alcayde de Lamo
A petition targeting the Irish Greyhound Board and the Irish Government has been published on the Care2 website calling for the withdrawal of the IGB’s proposals to export greyhounds to China. Please sign the petition and help place pressure on the Irish authorities to show some care and compassion for this gentle breed.
The petition will be delivered to the Irish Embassy in London – the Irish Greyhound Board and Government offices.
Please see the Sunday Times UK article below. Greyhound Crusaders/SWAP team UK now need all our supporters globally to please write to the IGB (Irish Greyhound Board), the Irish Department of Agriculture and the ISPCA (Irish Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to vehemently protest about this immediately! We’ve already voiced fears that Australian greyhounds end up as food in Far East Asia.Greyho
Please email the following people below to urge them to stop this horrific idea immediately, the fate of many Greyhounds lay in the hands of the Irish
Greyhound Board and the authorities that allow this to go ahead.
Correct me if I am wrong, but there are few good things to come out of Badajoz, Extremadura. Mariangeles is one, other valiant animal rescue volunteers, those Spanish who abhor the practices of the hunters and the bad name they give the city, the road out…..
Served his master, abandoned by his master, injured on the road, died of starvation and dehydration………….Zafra, Badajoz. And Badajoz had the audacity to apply for City of Culture status in 2016!
Happy Endings is a new association formed in southern Spain in the Chiclana area. Its founder, Margarita Gloersen is Norwegian and has been rescuing starving and injured dogs in the area for some years. This is their story.
‘My name is Margarita Gloersen from www.happy-ending-final-feliz.eu in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz.
I have been working with dogs since I arrived Chiclana in 2005. I am from Norway, and when I came I just could not believe my day to day experiences with animals lying in the road, killed by cars and all the others just left to themselves with no chances to survive in the long run. Sooner or later they would become run over by cars, since all the trash bins are alongside the roads.
Another letter to send to Tesco to protest about Dog Racing Vouchers being offered to customers. Thank you to Sonya Ward for this one.

This website has been sent to me by a supporter, please read and take action where requested. A point to note; WSPA are supporting this, yet they abandoned the cause of the galgos back in 2002/2003 and, according to the latest response I received from them, they have no plans to take the matter up again.
