A message for Galgueros and Politicians from Galgos 112 after betraying the Spanish hunting dogs that they are not protected by the new law.
Look into their eyes, especially you inept politicians who have left them lying around and abandoned like cigarette butts.
To the Galgueros we tell them not to even approach them, to ask these soulless sub-human beings to look into the eyes of the dogs that they mistreat so much and would cause yet more pain to the poor dogs by their abandonment.

When is abandoning your pet justified?
The answer is very simple: NEVER. A family member should never be dumped for no reasons and leaving them in a shelter is also ABANDONMENT.
If you have an illness, you or someone close to you take them to a residence for temporary care.
If the illness is serious and it’s going to prevent you from living with a pet, find a home from someone close to you so the separation is as less traumatic as possible.
If you get pregnant, you do not have to leave your cat no matter how much doctors say there are ways to prevent toxoplasmosis, demand your doctor first to do an analysis for if you have antibodies, which is most likely and otherwise, to give you some tips for living with your cats, like getting another member of your family to clean the tray.

Chincheta may lose her paw…
Until when? When will the mistreatment of these innocent beings stop?
A few days ago we were asked for help for her. Her story? The same as always: her former owner didn’t want her anymore and urgently wanted to get rid of her. We are up to our ears, with still almost 600 animals in the centre. With the bills of Buda, Simeon, Pipa and many other hospital patients still to be paid. But it was impossible to see her picture, her eyes and her gaze to say no….
Chincheta has arrived this very morning to our centre and our vets were surprised to see the fracture of her paw, because it is old and already ossified and however, Chincheta is a young dog, so she must have broken her paw when she was still a puppy and never had any medical attention…
Now our vets are faced with the usual problem: try to save her paw with surgery and months of rehabilitation, or take the hard decision to amputate if there is no solution. We are waiting for the assessment of our trusted traumatologist. Hopefully there are possibilities for her… Help us save Chincheta
Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

From Galgos del Sol
We asked for help & you came to their rescue. 23 rescued last week & soon we’ll go back for the rest.
Galgueros had left them with open sores, some of which had the bone exposed.
4am start & 7pm finish. We can’t thank our supporters enough for making this happen.

Some pictures we can’t show. And some we can: Copernico rescued by our team. Poor galgo suffered painful nose mutilation.
Act now to change this bill & protect all dogs. We must act now to demand a change to this bill and to protect all #dogs.
Please share this post and call on Pedro Sanchez and PSOE to do the right thing. #PawsTheLaw.

Too many people use the excuse of not being able to take their dog when they move. It’s an excuse especially used a lot in Portugal. It should be a last resort that the dog is taken to a shelter.
From Tina Galgos del Sol – what the tourists don’t see.
Imagine just driving down the road & seeing dogs everywhere. That’s what we face in Spain. Next rescue… these two. The rescue waiting list is long
And another, lucky not to be injured.
This what the amazing volunteers in Spain live with every day. And the Spanish government doesn’t do a bloody thing to stop it, to protect these dogs, stop the bloody hunters over-breeding and abandoning every year. Tens of thousands of hunting dogs at risk!
From Tina at Galgos del Sol.
‘Only days after hunting dogs are excluded from the new Wwelfare Protection Laws in Spain, this galgo was found nearly dead’ strangled by a shoe lace. Luckily found by people who are disgusted by these new laws. Deliberately tortured to die in agony. He’s not well & in vet care.
In relation to the case of the strangled Galgo, we have presented a formal legal statement. It can be seen in full on our FB page
Video – warning, upsetting pictures
Below is the action being taken against the owner of this galgo, who has been identified!
This petition is launched by associations of lawyers specializing in animal rights, to request a veto in the Senate to withdraw the reform of the Spanish Penal Code.
According to the decision of February 9th, 2023, galgos, podencos and all Spanish hunting, guard, companion and herding dogs are excluded from the new animal protection law and the abuse of the dogs is largely unpunished.
Please help, sign the petition and share it!
