Greyhound Action International Alert

Greyhounds in Australia that are surplus end up being tortured in vivisection labs or end up being exported to hellholes in Macau, China Wild life Park, Vietnam or Korea where they end up terrified and eventually chopped up in the horrific dogmeat markets.

The vast majority of greyhounds that are exported to Asia are from Australia so please keep up the pressure on the Australian govt to stop the export of greyhounds to Asia.

Also the tourist trade is very important in Asia please contact all the tourist boards/embassies lists provided on our website and tell them you will boycott their country if they continue with greyhound racing and the abuse and killing of greyhounds.

‘REMEMBRANCE WEEKEND’

“Two years later. How many thousands of dead dogs later?”
Annette Crosbie OBE – July 2008

Wednesday 16th July marked the second anniversary of the ‘Seaham Slaughter‘ exposure by Daniel Foggo, journalist to The Sunday Times.

Not only did this investigation prove beyond doubt that greyhounds were being slaughtered on a massive scale but as a result of the public outcry, ministers demanded an All Parliamentary Enquiry.

ON the site we highlight many ways you can voice your opposition to the way galgos are treated, be that letter writing, sponsored walks or the sending of emails.

But if you have your own website one of the easiest ways is to feature the latest Galgo News headlines on it thanks to a so-called ‘widget’.

This lets you copy and paste a short piece of code anywhere on your website so that your readers can get a quick update on the latest news on galgo rescue.

THANKS to the work of Roland Hulme the site now has its own page on Facebook where people can share information on all things galgo.

The Save the Galgo page features comments and messages from people who have rescued galgos in the past as well as posts from people who have only recently discovered the suffering many dogs face.

If you are already a member of Facebook then you can easily join and invite others to do the same, if you are new to Facebook then it is free to join and you can follow the page quickly and easily.

And if you have your own blog and want to promote the Facebook group please feel free to use the image above to link through from your own website.

Maria Daines – here’s what she says on Pro-Galgo about animal cruelty.

Clink on the link here and this one Maria Daines to Paris to add your name in support of bringing Maria Daines in concert to Paris.

BUT don’t let’s forget the galgos still waiting in the refuges to be rehomed outside Spain.

DON’T forget the volunteers who still go to the refuges every day to take care of the galgos, and all the other abandoned dogs of Spain. They are such dedicated people, often paying for food and medication from their own pockets.

YOU can still do something.

SUPPORT my campaigns on Galgo News.

DON’T sit back in the sunshine, HELP the galgos

Whilst the Spanish sun is shining, the problems for the galgos do not go away. Since the end of hunting in Spain in January, thousands of galgos have been killed, suffered torture, been maimed, abandoned, some are still suffering, starved in remote shelters, hidden in dark barns, bitches giving birth when they haven’t even the bodily strength to provide enough nourishment for themselves, let along half a dozen demanding puppies.

Some are lucky enough to have been rescued by volunteers and taken to already overflowing refuges.

But the galgos are not the only ones to suffer. The volunteers suffer too, picked on and targeted by their own countrymen.

Maria Daines fronts a UK rock band which perform concerts to raise funds for animal charities. If enough of us demand it, she will perform in Paris.

I’ve started the demand off, click on the link and add your demand. Tell everyone to demand it – then we get great publicity for the plight of the galgos, and raise funds at the same time.

Go for it! Demand it! Maria Daines
