The PAES Project – ACTIN calling rescue associations and volunteers
Viv Wharton of ACTIN writes.
‘IN 2015 the PAES project – Proteccion animales España will be launched. This is a Project for any registered Associations and individual rescuers interested, who dedícate their lives to animal rescue.
The aim of the Project is to improve the welfare of animals in Spain and all aspects of that.
There is much to prepare and the success of it will depend on the collaboration of as many as possible to be involved, in order to make a powerful and dynamic quest for change for the animals in Spain.

A hell of a life for a galgo in Spain
From a post by Jack Leonard on my Save the Galgos page on facebook
‘This coming weekend of January 10 will begin the long awaited Spanish National Championship for the Galgo in the village of Madrigal de las Altas Torres. Thousands upon thousands of galgos have been competing this season all for the foolish dreams of their owners that they will produce the Champion of Spain. The competition is now down to a handful of dogs and the excitement is building.

ACTIN – an overview of their work in 2014
As you know, I publicise the work ACTIN do on behalf of all animal rescue associations in Spain, trying to improve the lot of the abandoned and maltreated animals. Here is a word from the founder Viv Wharton.
Happy New Year and a big thank you to the many who have helped us. We thought you might like to see what you have helped Actin Association achieve in 2014
It has been just over one year since Actin responded to the many worrying calls of eyewitness accounts regarding a local pound. We ended up rescuing so many dogs and it was such a task without having a rescue shelter, with no funds and with the animals having unexpected illnesses. Thankfully our supporters responded to our calls for assistance, because without them we would not have had a chance. In hindsight we would have been under less pressure, had we been better equipped and prepared but we acted with our hearts and when we saw the faces of those dogs, we could not leave them behind to suffer.

Pedrera, Seville – abandoned dogs – the nightmare continues…
Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville – over 70 dogs to clean and feed – and get adopted!
2015 – the start of a new year – in the first week 2 puppies and 4 galgos have been dumped at the gates, one of the galgos in bad condition. The situation is desperate – it costs 700 euros/month to feed the dogs. Please help Jane and Alan – sponsor and donate here. And anyone willing to organise fundraising, please get in touch. Anyone do car boot sales in the UK? Please help!

Shame on Italy
This news from the translator of my book into Italian. Terrible!
In order to lighten the massive amount of procedures which must occupy the Italian magistrates, the Renzi government has decided to decriminalize the crimes of lesser severity, including among these the crime of cruelty against animals declaring it a misdemeanor. This means that no torturer of animals will end up more in prison, and anyone is free to mistreat animals.
There are two petitions on the web, Surname, first name, email address, comment:
