INSIDE THE ZULO By: Marta Navarro Garcia
Inside the zulu the air breaks, howls, moans, disappears.
Just like us, that when the season ends
we have become caged bones,
rumor of sogas,
hungry and cold made in Spain.
Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet.

We request the opening of the zoonosis (perreras) centers and kennels of Santa Cruz
By this means, we request all localities in the Province of Santa Cruz to guarantee the opening to the public of zoonosis centers and municipal kennels, where animals removed from public roads are housed.
This request is based on the right to access to information, the ordinances in force in each locality and, mainly, in compliance with the National Animal Protection Act N. ° 14.346/54, which establishes the duty of providing dignified treatment to animals.

On August 10, the “hunting tooth in hand” period of rabbit begins in Andalucia. It’s a minor type of hunting in which dogs are used to track and capture pieces, without the use of firearms. The terror begins for the poor dogs that won’t stop until February.
We are noticing how the date is getting closer by the number of greyhounds and podencos that appear lying around: now is when they start to take them out of the zulus to prepare and test them. Every day there are new ones abandoned, they are the ones that aren’t strong or the ones that don’t serve them to hunt.

A couple of days ago while we were on our way to a vet appointment with sick Podenca Amira, we received an unexpected call from our vet in Huércal-Overa. Three Galgo puppies had been abandoned at the practice, and the question was simple but urgent: can you help?
Apparently, the three little ones had already spent three days in a small yard, without food or water. The police were contacted, but unfortunately, they didn’t respond immediately. Fortunately, a concerned person took matters into their own hands and eventually brought the puppies to the vet. Thanks to this act of compassion, they are now safe.
This galgo was locked in a yard, starving. Now safe with SOS Galgos.
We recently went on holiday for a long weekend to a group meet of sighthound adopters. One of the greyhounds was very reactive to most of the other dogs. He was only friendly with a couple of the greyhounds he has met quite often. It’s the first time in over 70 years I have come across a reactive dog and it was very sad.
Here’s an article about socialising a reactive dog.

Then had a picnic in her favourite place.

Update on Galga Mila with Galgos 112, with terrible face injuries.
‘Million thanks to all the people whose donations are helping Mila’s recovery. She is brave, eats a soft diet because of her wound in the mouth, but she tolerates food and medication well. The analytics indicate anemia already in treatment and lehismania. As soon as Dr. Cruz gives hers the hospital discharge, he will travel to Barcelona to finish recovering and start the treatment of lehismania.
Million thanks, without you it would be impossible to save so many lives.

SEPRONA have opened an investigation as the puppies’ mother had a collar, indicating she may have been abandoned.

From Galgos 112.
This galga was abandoned with a terrible face injury. People walked by and ignored her until some volunteers collected her and took her to the Galgos 112 shelter.
Mila has already been surgically operated on. She’s had to nucleate the eye and trigger the jaw, it presents a hole in the palate that almost connects to the eye. Doctor Cruz tells us that Mila couldn’t open her mouth and that these serious injuries are not recent, meaning that the suffering they have caused her is unimaginable.
