We asked Brígida Pachón, municipal delegate of Social Welfare, to suspend the competition of Galgos and avoid animal abuse and adopt measures of assistance and improvement of the quality of life of the ursaonenses with functional diversity without twists and turns.
We say no to an act that includes animal abuse (competition of greyhounds and this year hares are rabies because they are sick) and that puts as an excuse the presumed benefit of people with special needs. The City Council of Osuna announced the ninth edition of an event with a supposed end of fundraising for a Center for Horse Therapy and horse-assisted interventions.
We know the cruelty of the Spanish galguero knows no bounds. How about this – muzzled and then chained up so they can’t even lie down? Seville. If anyone is in the area and can help Antonia try and get these galgos out, call Spain 678965700

Peluco is one of the hundreds of rescued galgos at Scooby hoping for his forever home. Contact Scooby direct if you are interested in adopting him.
‘Hello everybody! I just wanted to let you know that I am ready now! I am ready for adoption. I am ready for the next chapter in my life; a home. In the summer of 2016 I was living in the forest with my brothers and sisters, trying to survive. We did not trust people, we were scared of them. But somehow they caught us and brought us to the shelter of Scooby. Here I slowly started to trust people and now I actually think I like them! After 1,5 years in this shelter I have seen enough. All of my friends went to homes and new friends keep coming in. I also want to go now, go to a home of my own. I am ready. Are you?
Watch me interact with a stranger here, look how much I have grown!’
I’ve featured some of Ann Marie Payne’s poems on my blogs. Another volunteer in Spain saving and rehoming the unwanted hounds, including a podenca mum and her 5 pups living in a cave, which appeal I featured on Podenco Post. Now Ann needs help herself. She explains why below
‘Last year we were forced out of our premises, conned out of €1,800 and were left with nowhere to go. We did a fund raise and fortunately many people donated and helped us to move to where we are now, and at first it seemed like paradise. We had a wonderful summer and all the dogs were happy. But then came the winter, which was the worst in 10 years for rainfall. The kennels were flooding every day because there was nowhere for the rain to drain away. Every day I had to brush the water into buckets and then carry them outside and empty them on to the street. It was a total nightmare.

The first Murphy’s Army Purple Poppy Campaign was launched in 2016 to encourage members of the public to come together to pay tribute to the many animals lost in Service, and to those who Serve us today.
Our research had shown that although the traditional red poppy was well known, the significance of the purple poppy – to remember the animals – was less so. Hopefully our efforts over the years have changed that as many more purple poppies are now being worn with pride.
In this very special anniversary year – 100 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front and the end of the First World War – let’s make our 2018 Purple Poppy Campaign an even greater success.
Please join with us and together let’s ensure that the animals who lost their lives during this conflict, those lost in Service since, and those who serve us today, are not forgotten but forever remembered alongside their human counterparts.
