The terror of a galga – and their suffering continues – no protection for them
From Animal Rescue Spain.
‘Aitana has just arrived and is trembling with terror. She is a galgo like so many others, a waste of the hunt. How to explain to her that our Spanish politicians have ignored this suffering? That, as she is a hunting greyhound, she will not have rights like the rest of the dogs in the new Spanish Animal Protection Law, that dogs like her can continue to be mistreated with total impunity… Help us to continue fighting for them with a donation.

It all comes down to money – billions of Euros in the Spanish government pocket from hunting!

A Black Day for Spanish Animals – 9th February 2023
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends‘9th February 2023 was a black day for animal welfare in Spain, the Government signed an agreement where both parties promised dignity for all animals. In what will be the ” National Animal Protection Act” the animal welfare law was passed but have excluded the bulls tortured at bull festivities, the millions of animals riddled by hunters, the ones used for animal testing, the ones considered production, such as executed in slaughterhouses, some horses, those used in pilgrimages, dolphins and hunting dogs. What this means Podencos and Galgos plus many other animals in Spain, are not protected they are in a worse position than before.

Refugio Kimba – a year saving Spanish hunting dogs
FEBRUARY 1 WORLD GALGO DAYThey say out there, that greyhounds dream their whole life with a life to come, they dream their home, their family, every place, and that dream helps them to be able to get through their reality of abuse and torture. Many make it and others get left in the way.. So when a greyhound comes to your life is not that you have chosen but he dreams.
The end of the hunt comes and with it the end of their lives or the release of others.
Over a year we collect many dogs, but the vast majority are hunting dogs, especially greyhounds and podencos. It is very painful to see how they arrive with their souls totally shattered, atrocious fear and utter distrust for human, not to mention the physical wounds. Dogs that pee and defecate on you when you look into their eyes… We can’t imagine what they’ve had to go through.
