  • PACMA fighting for animal rights in Spain – blocked by the hunters!

    PACMA galgo 400 11 2021
    The latest news from PACMA

    ‘In October 20231 the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda “presented” its preliminary draft of the Animal Protection Law at a public event. A month and a half later, the only thing that is published on its website is a draft of the preliminary project, and the hearing and public information process has not been opened.

    From the beginning we warned that this law left out most of the animals: the victims of livestock, hunting, experimentation laboratories, bullfighting … But also, at this rate, the legislature will end without the animals having a animal protection law at the state level, the false promise of Podemos at electoral time. Once again, animals are the most neglected, relegated to the background and vilified.

    From Scooby Protectora.

    ‘The abandonment of galgos begins. It’s the season to use galgos to hunt hares and therefore discard and throw away those who don’t do their job well. The easiest thing is to abandon them and here is one of the consequences of that abandonment.

    A run over Galguita that is already admitted for surgery.

    Unfortunately, experience tells us that this young lady won’t be the last galgo we collect in these conditions or similar so we’re going to need help to cope with the extra expenses that fall upon us these months.

    From Animal Rescue Spain.

    A call informed us of an abandoned galgo, in the bones, in Toledo. An animal full of wounds, looking for food and shelter, an ignored one, an invisible one. We just picked him up, we called him Flash and he begins his new life in Animal Rescue Spain, a different future full of hope. Welcome!

    In recent weeks, we have collected many abandoned dogs, in terrible conditions, so we need your help with veterinary expenses. Please consider contributing a donation now. Between all of us we can achieve it.

    We may feel petitions don’t make a difference but they do as they keep giving publicity to the terrible situation for the galgos. We have to keep banging away on their behalf.
