From Caged North West. We are currently liaising with the police, ambulance service, our insurance company and Manchester local authority.
Manchester will be hosting some very large public events on the same day as the March for The Murdered Million, and we have worked very hard to find spaces that will accommodate a gathering of anything up to 500 people, that may attend.
We have advised all involved that this is a funeral themed greyhound remembrance march and will remain respectful throughout.
PLEASE NOTE; THIS IS NOT A PROTEST

Galgos 112 – saving the starving from the streets of Jaen, Spain
Unbelievable that this poor galgo even has the strength to stand up. How long can he have gone without food? But he is now safe with Galgos 112. Here’s what they say about him.
‘The years go by but we’re still surprising us by the same things. On the one hand the incredible strength of galgos and hounds, that as soon as they are given a chance they cling to life with a mad desire and exceed that which seemed impossible. On the other hand the indifference with which some humans treat others.
The of the pictures is Cuico, a galgo that was several days wandering in that state for the town in Jaen Martos. It’s getting complicated to understand that being in this state no one offer to help him. Was it not clear that this dog needed help? This indifference to the suffering of others, in Galgos 112 we never get used to it. Never. It’s just that, plain and simple, we don’t want to do it; we don’t want to be indifferent to the pain of others, whoever it is that I’m having a tough time. Had to be Antonio, as always, who saw him and he laid his hand. Because Antonio has the gift of not being able to subtract indifferent to the pain and the abuse, Antonio has that what many brag but not so many times we see: Humanity.

The rash spread to her thighs under her front legs and all over her head with a lot of hair loss.
She had a very high fever and was burning to the touch. -

Galgo injured and left for dead –
We are always amazed at the courage of the galgos who – despite horrendous injuries and bad treatment – fight for life when they are rescued. This is the story of just such a black galgo – now named Galileo – rescued badly injured and starving at the roadside near Carmona in April. He was rushed to the vet clinic at Malaga where they feared he would not be strong enough to survive the anaesthetic to repair his shattered front legs.
But Galileo knew the sound of kind voices, felt gentle hands and knew that help was on hand to save his life and heal his injuries. It has been a long journey but Galileo is now receiving physiotherapy to walking again. On 17th September he will join other galgos making the trip from Spain to France with Levriers sans Frontieres – where he will be adopted and loved for ever.
