Annie’s Story – ACTIN in action again
Not a galgo but another of the maltreated hunting dogs of Spain. As you read this story, with a happy ending, know that what happened to Annie happens to dozens of galgos and podencos every year. Another despicable way the hunters dispose of their dogs.

For my French readers.
http://www.lagazettedeslevriers.org/t6724-livre-sur-les-galgos-au-profit-de-scooby-france#159232 En me promenant sur le net, j’ai trouvé ce petit livre sur les galgos. Je l’ai commandé à Marie-Françoise Derache. C’est un livre vraiment très intéressant sur nos amours les galgos . J’ai discuté avec l’auteure, via ma boîte mail. Je vous conseille fortement ce livre. Il est vendu 10 euros + 3 euros de frais de port. Marie – Françoise qui est une femme avec un cœur…gros comme ça, reversera le prix de son livre à Scooby France. Pour chaque achat, il sera reversé 10 euros. Merci pour Scooby de faire une bonne action. Merci d’en parler autour de vous. Voici son adresse mail : palicia49@yahoo.fr

Madrid – marching for the hunting hounds of Spain
Hello my friends here you have some photos of the protest which has taken place today in the centre of the city in Madrid “Against galgo and other type of dogs hunting”. It was a success, there were hundreds of people among them, several galgo rescue organisations , animal welfare orgs and also three political parties, Podemos, Pacma and Equo.
As for the official media, I think we have been put to silence except for the digital site “infolibre”.

Good News from Italy
News from Italy kindly sent to me by Daisy, who translated From Heaven to Hell into Italian.
‘Good news from Italy!
After the shock of the news that, in order to lighten the massive amount of work for the Italian magistrates, some crimes (animal mistreatments included!!!) would have been considered as “less severe” -meaning no prison for animal torturers- thousands of people showed their disgust. The President of the Italian Government, Mr. Matteo Renzi replied that animal lovers shouldn’t be worried because these directions are not law yet and they will be modified. He also said that the Government always listen to everyone.
We really hope so!’
