Just a reminder to sign the Greyhounds In Need petition for Galgos, before 30th April.

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.

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).”

Another petition to sign, this one organised by Greyhounds in Need, to try and help the galgos. They need at least 5,000 signatures, so far there are about half that. Please add your name.

This is about a donkey in Extramadura, a hell hole for galgos and certainly for donkeys.

Please link here to read about it and add your name to the petition.
