Training galgos –
‘Training‘ galgos. Another method is to chain the galgos to the turnstile whilst it revolves. We all know that, with the exception of a few, galgueros are bred in hell with no feelings or compassion. With podencos they are tied in a metal harrow behind a motor vehicle.
Any of you with Youtube access, can you comment such as ‘animal abuse’.

Galgo & Podenco rescue associations – where were you on 11 October 2014?
The way animal rescue associations criticise each other really gets me angry! Here’s a post I wrote on my Save the Galgo facebook page.
On Saturday, 11th October 2014, I was pleased to be a part of the demonstration and publicity in the Trocadero, Paris, organised by Galgos Ethique Europe, illustrating to the general public the beautiful galgos who were there as ambassadors for their breed, and telling of the dreadful maltreatment they suffer in Spain at the hands of the galgueros and gitanos.

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)

Terrible outcome for the galgos of Andalucia, Spain
Please there are petitions always sign, it does make a difference, although unfortunately in this case, we didn’t win. After two years of work led by the Andalusian Federation of Galgos (FAG) and the Andalusian Hunting Federation, the Directorate General of Animal Health of the Junta de Andalucía has approved the legalization of ‘training’ galgos with motor vehicles in Andalusia, something that until now was considered by the Administration as a crime of animal abuse.
