Dog fighting – galgos as bait?
Another case of animal cruelty – this is the case of a galga which was found by a girl in the middle of the street in terrible condition. The girl, who is a student, took the dog to the Vet despite not having enough money to pay the treatment…the Vet said she is covered in injuries probably because she has been used for sparring – bait for dog fighting. She has been bitten everywhere…broken teeth…anemia…skin Leishmania…an eye in very bad state, torn part of the ear…etc. etc. The galga has been named Yuki.
Here is an Internet translation.
We called her Yuki, which means courage. No chip, or strength. And yes much, much pain, immense sadness and clinging to life. She is about 3 years old and black. This greyhound is alive at this time thanks to the opportunity to have crossed her a good person who, without thinking of anything else, has picked her up in this terrible state.

Galgos in Spain – a hard life – Levriers sans Frontiers reports
This link takes you to the story of galgos now being dumped by the hunters as the season draws to a close. This young galgo was abandonded on the streets of Ejica, hit by a vehicle; eventually rescued and taken to the bet who said luckily his injuries were not serious. Not so for many – males not wanted as stud dogs, females not wanted for breeding for the next season, or covered and then dumped when their puppies are weaned – too soon in many cases.
