    Ireland

    Many people involved in welfare and who are greyhound “owners” have been
    sending emails and letters to the Irish government to oppose the idea of
    sending greyhounds to China, and there have also been demonstrations at
    Irish embassies in several countries. This has had some affect on the
    Department of Agriculture, which very recently received a formal proposal
    from the Irish Greyhound Board to consider the China project.

  • Baas Galgo to court today against hunter who hung 3 galgos

    Keep fingers and everything crossed today, 13th April 2011, as Baas Galgo have their first Court appointment against the man who hung his 3 galgos. Pray that the court officials, judge etc, are not hunters!

    Also, look at these fabulous photos of Nicolas and Kafir. Nicolas was rescued from near death last Christmas Eve, Kafir had a wire round his leg, he had tried to chew his leg off! Both are with Cristina de Luna in Madrid. Amazing wonderful photos. I’d just say here that anyone who thinks a 3-legged galgo can’t run, eat your words!

  • Chinese DO eat dogs and cats, including Irish greyhounds if we don’t STOP IT!

    This interesting information was in a comment today on Galgo News, which explains the horrors awaiting Irish and UK greyhounds exported to China. Darrell Leathen explains.

    ‘I am an Australian greyhound trainer and am appalled at irish g/racing for even contemplating exporting dogs to china, they kill and consume over 2 million cats/dogs per annum… they equate eating dog to an american eating a hotdog, someone ought to inform them they are made from lips and cheeks.. this cannot be allowed to happen and i will proposition greyhound racing victoria to speak with greyhound racing ireland to stop this abhorent exercise…we do not eat our mates/ BAN THIS PRACTICE’

    Please include this information in any of your protest letters.

    Julia hanged cord 03 04 2011 250 The galgueros deny they hang dogs, they say it never happens now. I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true. And here is yet more proof that they lie. This is Julia;

    ‘Human cruelty has no limits and is clearly reflected in our little Julia. It does not take much imagination to feel the pain she has suffered, yet the hunters deny once again they do this, so cruel and heartless.
