A friend of our veterinarian Montse de Linares, knowledgeable of the work we do in Galgos112, has contacted us because not the police of a town of Jaén (no matter which, since It’s the usual tonic) and no one listened to him to pick up this poor being, with one leg completely destroyed and another broken as well. Berto as we’ve called him was lying near a place where people sometimes pass by on bikes and that was his luck…

From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria. Helping animals in need never ends.
According to sources from the Civil Guard, a call was received a few days ago alerting them to the presence of a group of people with no apparent connection to the hunting reserve where they were located, carrying out hunts with greyhounds on the lands of the municipality.
Immediately, a patrol from the Covarrubias station went to the location and began a thorough inspection of the area in search of those responsible, with positive results since while examining a wooded area, a man was located who, upon noticing the police presence, tried to flee; however, he was found shortly afterwards hidden among the vegetation.
As a result of the police investigations carried out, it was learned that while these events were taking place, the rest of the members of the group were trying to leave the place in a car, so the Civil Guard intensified the search, which allowed them to locate the car in the vicinity while it was traveling along a road.
Given this evidence, all occupants were identified and, like the first individual already arrested, lacked the necessary permits and authorizations to engage in hunting. Simultaneously with the police investigation, the corresponding administrative reports were filed for the improper transport of the animals.
The six, in varying degrees of responsibility, have been brought before the court as alleged perpetrators of a crime against wildlife for poaching, and the proceedings have been handed over to the Court of Lerma.
Not galgos but their British cousins greyhounds. British greyhounds (including Ireland) also have a hellish life. Greyhound racing is not a sport yet the Greyhound Racing Board of Great Britian still insists there is no cruelty involved. Many unwanted greyhounds end up shipped to China where their hellish life gets even worse. And hundreds end up in the Chinese meat market.

Sandy of Galgos Rescue Almeria reports they received a call from a hunter that he had a galgo he was getting rid of, if they’d like to go and get him. Here’s the story of Rayo and his rescue.

The high charges have resulted in a large number of pet owners either self medicating their pets or giving up their pets, because speculative companies have bought out vet businesses. Having said that, the vets are at fault too – I feel – because they have put their profits before the care of animals in need.
