The reality of galgo racing in Spain
Galgos in Spain is all about money…money. Galgos bred indiscriminately to find the best hunter; galgos bred indiscriminately to find the best racer – a good racing galgo can fetch up to 30,000 euros and then stand at stud. The galgueros bet on coursing – where hares are bred and then released at the site – and they bet on galgo races – Medina del Campo being the centre of galgo racing in Spain.
Here is a Spanish video (warning, some upsetting photos) which shows the reality of galgo racing, the men betting, the drugs pumped into the dogs, the dogs pummelled in the traps to get them fired up to charge up the racetrack….then the brutal reality of their life thereafter.
Please share widely to publicise the reality of galgo racing.

Peaceful Protest for Spanish Hounds – 1st May 2016 in London, Manchester & Glasgow – photos
Early in the year when I read the Spanish Royals were to visit the Queen at Windsor and I contacted my friend Polly Matthewson of Podenco Alliance about it, suggesting a demonstration, I had no idea how it would grow. So thanks to Polly, Martin Podman French of Podenco Support South West, Dawn Karen Walker (Manchester March) and Irene Allen (Glasgow March) for taking up the idea and developing it to the marvellous day we all had on 1st May 2016 publicising the suffering of the Spanish hounds and showing what marvellous pets they can make. Herewith my photos from the March in Manchester – sadly it rained but didn’t dampen the spirits and we handed out lots of leaflets about the plight of the Spanish hunting dogs. (Spot me on the left holding the big banner!) The London organisers handed in a petition to the Spanish Embassy and also No 10 Downing Street.
