Aviles, Spain – letter campaign to the Mayor – stop animal cruelty in Aviles
Valarie Woolf has been kind enough to compose a letter for us all to send to the Mayor of Aviles with regard to the terrible conditions in which the dogs and cats are kept.
There is an English version, and I have also translated it to Spanish using Spanishdict.com, so those of who who speak Spanish, please excuse any mistakes.
Please send off your letters, get all your family and friends to do so. Aviles is on the northern coast of Spain and wishes to attract holidaymakers. They need to know the life of hell behind the waterfront centres!

Cheap Holiday in Spain? Here’s just the place – Puerto Real, Santander, Cadiz
I have just found this website, which denounces what happens in the perreras in Spain. It’s in Spanish, but if you click on your translator box/symbol, you will get the story in English. Don’t turn away, all the refuges and associations need your support to help the abandoned dogs of Spain, especially the galgos and podencos.

Attn. a petition to the EU requesting help to protect animals
At an Offtopic section of an spanish forum (“Save a life” we thought it was a good idea to beg you to help us collaborate to gather one million signatures, needed to ask the European Commission to introduce a law to protect all animals in the European Union member states against animal abuse and maltreat in Europe.
This is the text of the petition, originally written in French:
Author of the petition: GALGOS FRANCE (Greyhounds France)For the attention of the European Parliament Commission:
Thanks to the new right to the citizen’s initiative, one million citizens from all over the different member states can now ask the Commission for the presentation of new proposals.

22nd February, Madrid – Animal Rights Protest – Please attend if possible
PROTEST ON 22ND FEBUARY IN MADRID FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS.
I haven’t attached the photos because they are really sickening and I am sensitive to the fact that, whilst most people are aware of the horrors perpetrated on animals in Spain, explicit pictures can be found on other websites

Sign the petition – the European Commission have to act for Europe!
I’d just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who reads Galgo News, comments on posts, and joins in the letter writing and petition signing posts which I highlight. Whilst my aim is to highlight the plight of the galgos and podencos, I get emails appealing for help to highlight the stray/abandoned dog problem in other countries which have now joined the EU.
So this is a petition to sign to help one of those countries.

Spanish abuse of Animals – the law needs to be enforced – sign the petition quickly
I know this isn’t about a galgo,it is about a donkey, and Refugio El Burrito is the donkey refuge where our friend Charl holds her annual Fiesta de Galgos. Please sign and circulate.
‘Dear friends, we need your help. As you can read from the enclosure, the February 16 we will be present at Villanueva together with the responsible of the Refugio of the Burrito to avoid that a donkey is brutally abused during a cruel village party. Here is the appeal received from the spanish friends of the Refugio del Burrito that we are spreading:
“El Refugio del Burrito will be present at the Pero Palo and so will be also the Italian collegues of the CEDA – Comitato Europeo Difesa Animali ; we ask you to support our petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/peropalo/
to enforce the Town Hall to enforce the Law and stop the use of a donkey in this Carnival. We do hope that also other associations from abroad will be present with their representatives, or will at least send their official support to us (info@elrefugiodelbu rrito.com) and / or at the CEDA (info@animalitalia. it).”
