Scooby Medina, Pro-Galgo – the truth about life in Spain
Pro-Galgo – illustrating life for a galgo in Spain, and still the hunters and politicians deny this happens every year. Where are their heads stuck? Up their backsides!
Tribute to Fermin Perez of Scooby Medina
Life in Scooby Medina – these galgos are still there – and now hunting has begun again. How many thousands more of these beautiful ‘disposable dogs’ have been born to compound the problem.
Don’t forget, Scooby really welcomes volunteers – make volunteering in a Spanish refuge your next holiday.

Rabid puppy imported into France from Morocco
In August 2011, a case of canine rabies was notified to the French Veterinary Services. A French family from the Vendee travelled to Morocco on holiday, and whilst there, they ‘adopted’ a stray 3-month old puppy, which they illegally imported to France.
The puppy presented behavioural changes on 1 August and was admitted to a veterinary clinic on 6 August. It died the following day and the body was shortly sent to the national reference centre where rabies was laboratory-confirmed on 11 August. Contact tracing and post-exposure treatment were initiated immediately
Read the full story here and a further article discussing the need for anti-rabies injections.

Circus Arvizu, Pamplona, Spain – ‘Info Circos’ asks for information
FAADA
A couple of weeks ago I posted some photos of two ponies and a lion in terrible conditions at Circus Arvizu in Pamplona Spain. I’m pleased to say that I have received the following email, and have forwarded it to the source of my information.
Those of you living in Spain may like to make a note of this association and corresponding ones at the end of the message, for future reference. I feel sure they will be pleased for any input about conditions for animals in any circuses and zoos around Spain.
