Hunting with the Spanish Galgo – no other European country hunts with greyhounds
Another video showing hunting with galgueros; note some of the horses have chopped tails – many of the Spanish take off manes and tails – read about the annual horse wrestling fiesta in Galicia – they don’t think the poor animals need to keep the flies off!
And further remember, most of these men will dump their dogs at the end of January, if not before.

15th November 2011 – Badajoz, galgo found hanged
I make no apologies for posting this photo. On 15th November 2011, this galgo was found hanged by schoolchildren who went hiking in the SIERRA DE TENTUDIA, Badajoz, Extremadura.
The hunters still claim they do not hang dogs, that all reports are exaggerated. The truth is out there on the Internet for the world to see – THEY LIE
Pray for the soul of this poor galgo, that its suffering is at an end. Curse the bastard who did this and brings shame on a country where so many brave people work to stop the cruelty, and whose lives are threatened if they expose the truth.

Galgo lucky to be alive – between the main road and the train tracks in Seville!
Trying hard to catch up with all the news, as I had to go to the UK urgently and didn’t have access to Internet. But that didn’t stop the appeals coming into my Inbox, galgos galore being abandoned everywhere, dumped in killing stations by the dozen…it doesn’t get any easier for the volunteers,.
Here’s a galgo rescued from the side of a railway track and a main road. No chip, about two years old. Macu has taken him in but desperately needs a shelter or foster home for him. He’s in Seville. Can anyone help? Contact macu19782010@hotmail.com mobile 665809169 Sevilla
