Cruelty of the Spanish hunters knows no bounds – souless murderers!
From Protectora La Bienvenida Cuidad Real
Cuidad Real is 200 km south of Madrid. This story is 11 2022 – the hunters deny they are cruel to their dogs!
‘POZUELO OF CVA (CUIDAD REAL)
Sensitive photo – may upset
One of our collaborators met yesterday with this Dantesque view…
And it’s not the first time that this happens in this town and unfortunately, it won’t be the last.
Two young galgos, two victims whose lives have been taken and of course without identification of the cowardly and poorly-born they had as their executioner.
It’s already in the hands of the Guardia Civil and whoever has any leads or information about the cause, can write to us.

Galga Neu with Puntanimals in Umbria, Spain – hoping for a forever home.
From Puntanimals in Spain.
‘This little one is also a victim of hunting and abandonment, luckily her path crossed with that of our friend Belén who is the foster home of many of our rescues, infinite thanks for everything you do for them. You are safe now NEU, your life has changed already.
We leave you Belen’s words about the history and character of NEU.
“I’m headed out to walk my troop like just another day.” That day I decided to take a different route, shorten the road to get to a traffic light earlier. It was an accidental decision that would save a life. When I was walking half a street, a person stopped me and asked me if I wanted to pick up a galgo that was abandoned and in the heat. I told him I would if I was sure that dog didn’t belong to anyone, I didn’t want trouble if it was someone’s. He assured me no, she was abandoned. He brought it to me and delivered it to me.
Unknowingly, that dog had gotten a second chance. She is a low-medium galgo, young approx 1’5 or 2 years old. At first skeptical but soon you win her over and she’s charming. Gets along well with dogs, doesn’t react to small dogs.

Galgos and Podencos hunting in Spain
I’ve just published this article on my other blog Podenco Post. Whilst it is mainly about podencos, you can read much of the information therein also relates to galgos. -
SOS Galgos Barcelona – another abandoned and injured galga saved
SOS Galgos, Anna Clements and her vet Husband, is one of the older galgo rescue associations which I had the privilege of visiting many years ago. Here’s the story of a recent rescue.
‘Zafra just arrived at SOS GALGOS.
A month ago we asked you for help for a run over galago that couldn’t move, they had abandoned it, invisible, despite its suffering. Another extreme case that we undoubtedly took care of. Zafra needed an emergency surgery or she would become paralysed and the response was INCREDIBLE.
Now after the surgery and more than a month of extreme care to keep her prosthetic from moving we want you to see how our puppy is doing. Now zafra can find a family and forget the hell she lived through.
THANK YOU for the donations, for all you do Teamers and partners to continue to help.
Let us continue to save them!

Galgo Lord with Scooby Residencia Valladolid – hoping for a forever home
From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid‘This stunning boy is Lord and a while ago he stood at the door from the Scooby residencia with a broken front leg. Obviously abandoned like that and asking if we could help him. Of course we did so he was operated in Madrid and now he is completely recuperated, he does not even limp. He is still very young, super sweet, sympathetic, loves to play with the other dogs and not scared at all.
He’s obviously had a hard life from all the scars on his poor body. All he needs now is a loving forever family. Chip: 98111.

When will they punish the right end of the lead?
Although this poem is about a ‘dangerous’ breed, it could just as easily apply to any galgo in a perrera which has a kill policy, where the galgos are dumped by the hunters! -
Protectora Scooby – educating the young Spanish
Protectora Scooby visits schools‘Last week we started the first talks about animal welfare, responsible coexistence and bite prevention at the CRA La Esgueva, within the educational project, “A Muzzle in Your Life.” The students have participated a lot, asking lots of questions and telling anecdotes about the animals they have at home.
We thank the principal and the teaching team for the great welcome and their great interest in these topics. Now they know how to take better care of pets and have learned to understand how dogs talk to us.’
