Photos from the Rassemblement at the Trocadero in Paris on 11 October 2014 – lots of galgos, some podencos (hurray – at last!); lots of banners, video of atrocities against the hounds; handing out leaflets; lots of people signing the UNESCO petition. And the sun shone all day.Great to meet Joelle Valois and Marion Rigaud of GEE and representatives from Levriers du Sud, L’Europe des Levriers and Galgos112 (from Barcelona)

Please there are petitions always sign, it does make a difference, although unfortunately in this case, we didn’t win.

Sorry, folks, another petition. But we need to make our voices heard. Please sign and share. The new law in hunting in Castilla-La Mancha, let’s kill dogs and cats and the hunting with traps. It has been approved by the board of communities, without consulting the European Council of hunting or any publicity whilst it was being considered!

I thought Denmark was a civilised Western society. But it obviously has its own breed of sick sadistic animal torturers. Please sign and share this petition – support the dogs in Denmark.
