  • Galgos del Sur billboards – removed by the local council!

    Galgos del Sur billboard 400 1 5 2024
    From Galgos del Sur.

    ‘Due to the pressure exerted by people with great power linked to hunting, the company with which we had contracted for the whole month of May for four advertising fences in Cordoba, has removed the advertising of our campaign: It is not Culture, the Rehala and the Montería is Abuse. No administrative or judicial resolution to order it.

    They have violated our rights, including freedom of speech. This is not democracy. We live in a country where lobbies like hunting or bullfighting exercise the power of censorship and imposition of barbaric customs without citizens being able to speak against it. We don’t feel hand tied but we will keep fighting.

  • PACMA – friends in Spain, please vote for this man on 9th June – this is why

    PACMA election Veterinario 400 5 2024
    From Pacma Animalista

    ‘Don’t you think it’s unfair to have to pay 21% VAT for a service that is of primary necessity, such as the health of your animals? U.S. too. Going to the vet cannot be a luxury, and therefore, this week we have presented a series of fiscal measures to the Government that we think you will like.

    Reduction of veterinary VAT from the current 21% to 4%: Our proposal seeks to reduce this tax to the super-reduced rate of 4%, or eliminate it completely, to make veterinary services more accessible.

    10% deduction in the income tax return: We propose that families can deduct up to 10% of veterinary expenses in their income tax return, with a maximum saving of €500 per year.

    What do we get with this?

  • UK Vet Fees – they are a rip off – people cannot afford them!

    The Competition & Markets Authority are looking into vet fees. About time too! They are ab absolute rip off because vet clinics have been taken over by big businesses like hedge funds, pension funds, pet insurance companies. I’ve discussed this recently on my blog but now the news is out there about the CMA action.

    Read about it on this weblink. If you scroll to the end of the article, you can HAVE YOUR SAY. Please do comment as it all adds fuel to the fire of the diabolical vet fees and the companies which own them.

    In conversation recently with a veterinary nurse, she said that pet owners now are not taking their pet to the vet when it first falls ill but trying to medicate themselves. Often this results in the pet becoming more ill, so that when the vet finally is consulted, sometimes the illness is too advanced and the pet is euthanaised! And if the owner wishes for the pet’s ashes, this charge is also proving prohibitive.

    The result of this –

  • Protectora Scooby – galga Mistral hoping for a forever home

    Scooby leish galga 400 5 2024
    From Protectora Scooby.

    ‘This beautiful girl who is supposed to be adopted soon will probably spend the rest of her life in a kennel in our shelter because she is positive for leishmaniosis and people are more afraid of this Mediterranean disease than of Putin!

    With the right treatment, they can live well for many years. It’s not fair that dogs with leish don’t have the chance at a normal life and the love they deserve more than any other dog.

    If you can to give this galga, her name is Mistral, a dignified life and make her very happy so she would thank you with all her love and heart writes to: adopciones@scoobymedina.org

    An adopter with experience of taking on a dog with leishmania has this to say.

  • PACMA – raising funds for animal shelters on your Spanish tax return

    News from PACMA trying to raise funds for the animal shelters in Spain.

    ‘Can you imagine being able to check a box to help animals on your tax return?

    Well, it is not a dream, and from the Animalist Party we are fighting to make it a reality.

    This initiative could change the lives of tens of thousands of animals rescued by animal protection entities, who are going through real economic hardship to be able to support them.

    For this reason, the Animalist Party with the Environment (PACMA) has asked the first vice president and Minister of Finance of Castilla, María Jesús Montero, to include animal protection entities in the social purposes box of the Income Tax Declaration.

  • April – Adopt a greyhound/galgo month

    In the very beginning of my involvement with galgos in Spain and working with Charl del Rio who later founded 112garlotta galgos. I published an appeal for homes for 2 galgas rescued by Charl from a perrera. Angela Yardley contacted us and subsequently adopted them both.

    This is an appeal from Forever Hounds Trust established by Angela about adopting one of the Trust’s greyhounds.
