Hunting in Spain with Galgos – a video
A message from Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid. Although the hunting season with galgos does not start on the same day in the whole of Spain, we´re just a few weeks from a new season full of suffering, abandonment, pain and death…! So therefore again this very emotional video!! How many years more??!!

Give thought to Vulcano today – in the Toro de la Vega
Please today, think of brave Vulcano who will suffer unspeakable torture, pain, terror at the hands of screaming bloodlusters driving spears into his body from horseback – in the Toro de la Vega – despite tens of thousands of Spaniards marching to protest about it. One protester entered the bullring at Merida. See photos below of buses in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Albacete to mention just 4 cities calling on people to go to Madrid on 14 September to join the march. Organised by PACMA.

New Galgos in Scooby Valladolid – adopt a galgo
These lovely galgos are with Scooby Residencia Valladolid, hoping to find forever homes. These 2 beauties were rescued at the beginning of the week by Scooby from the perrera provincial in Valladolid. Taken there by their owner because they were not good for hunting, he said. It´s the same old song from the hunters, but happily these two are very good for sofa dogs. They are 2 boys, gorgeous, very sweet, not afraid. Lima has the white face and chest, Gustavo is the other one. Will make wonderful pets.
This is Tigressa. She’s an older girl, 7 years old, and been used as a breeding machine. She’s kind and gentle and has a lot of love to give. Towards the end of the video you can hear Cobie describing her character.
And this is Cali, a young galgo mix, under 2 years old. He was rescued from the campo, very afraid. You can see his is still nervous of people but gains in confidence and trust every day.
If you can offer any of these beauties a forever home, please contact Scooby.

Refugio Kimba, Cadiz – risking life and limb on the Spanish motorways
There has been no let up for the volunteers in Spain – every week dozens of galgos end up in perreras for killing – it’s gone on all summer – no let-up. New stories and appeals arrive every day. This is the story of one galga, Eboli. Abandoned by her galguero to take her chance on the busy roads, she was hit by a vehicle and seriously injured. Luckily volunteers from Refugio Kimba of Cadiz, the very first Spanish animal protectora, went out to rescue her, not without risk to their own safety. You can read the story and see the video of her rescue (more…)

Rescued galgas flying the flag in Yorkshire with The Blue Greyhound
Regular readers will know The Blue Greyhound shop on ebay where Susan Dawson raises funds for greyhounds and galgos. Her two galgas were recently chosen as winners of a competition and they were at Bark in the Park last weekend, in east Yorkshire. Here’s what Susan says, and some fabulous photos
The Blue Greyhound had a stall yesterday (17/8/2013) at Bark in the Park, a great show that we attend every year which promotes good dog ownership. Lots of great stalls. It was also a special day for Eli and Cassie who received their Dog Star Awards.
