Primary, secondary, third line rescue – what’s best?
I’ve copied this post from the Action for Animal Welfare Spain facebook page, written by Viv. I admire all everyone living in Spain (whatever nationality) living with the huge problem of abandoned, injured, starving, maltreated animals on their doorstep. How can they turn their back on such a dog, just because they have the legal limit for the number of dogs they can keep?
Viv writes ‘This post is not to cause offence, its for discussion
Primary rescue, Secondary rescue, Third line rescue, what’s best, what will make a difference? Perhaps a better title is, ‘less is more’, improving rescue, what do we need to do?
The recent case in France of an English ex pat keeping rescue dogs and having some of them removed, has produced a lot of controversy and differing opinions amongst rescuers.
Some people think it was wrong to take on so many dogs without resources and some hail her as a hero for picking up dogs that might otherwise have been killed in pounds.

Branded galgo
From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid. ‘Certain galgueros do this to their dogs, as if they don´t yet suffer enough: they brandmark their dogs like they are cows. This was done to Riku, who was saved a few months ago by Scooby from Jerez de la Frontera. No wonder that he first is a bit shy with strangers because you never know what they are going to do to you…’ -
Canine contraception – the choices
A typical but sad story about dogs in Spain. Two galgas, abandoned in a small hamlet in Spain, near Cordoba. Retired British couple are feeding them, tick treatment etc, but can’t adopt. The shelters are full and they are concerned about the galgas coming into season and getting covered by roaming dogs and producing unwanted puppies. They can’t afford 150 euros each dog for spaying.
So I found this article about Canine Contraception which I have forwarded on to them in the hope that they can stop the bitches coming into season until a shelter/association can take them.

Please help the Canidrome greyhounds – urgent
From Christine Dorchak. ‘The Macau Canidrome will close in just twelve days! That’s right, on July 21 hundreds of greyhounds stand ready to begin new lives, freed from the dungeon-like kennels where they have been neglected and abused for years. I have seen with my own eyes the injured and sick dogs and their terrible condition as they are brought out to race’.Many of these dogs travelled from Ireland and the UK, or were bred from dogs which had.

Dogs suffer – the innocent victims of human lack of training and control!
This is an article published by Mo Swatek as a result of an article she read…but does not give the link to it. I would guess it relates to US airlines, possibly Delta as on this link, rather than European.AIRLINES AND AIRPORTS WANT TO RESTRICT THE TRANSPORT OF DOGS AND AS USUAL, THE BLAME IS ON THE DOGS INSTEAD OF THEIR OWNERS
Mo Swatek writes. ‘First of all I find it really disgusting that airports are allowed to use carpeting where thousands of people walk on daily. Billions of human germs could be in that carpet, impossible to disinfect. So the pee of a dog is probably the less harrassing that could happen when we let, for example a child touching the carpet. I have seen men spitting on carpets and other disgusting things.
As for dogs flying, in general… the humans are to be blamed for all the mess, not the dogs. The humans are not respectful with their environment, no matter where and their reckless behavior causes people to complain about dogs but generally they should complain about the dogs’ owners.
