Here are four of the beautiful dogs on death row at Cadiz Perrera. The perrera is full, there is no more space. Besides galgos and podencos, there are even crossed huskies. I never understand how a Husky can live in the heat of the Mediterranean!

EC International Conference on Education & Animal Welfare – 1 & 2 October 2010
I hope many of you have supported my letter writing campaigns to the European Commission. In a letter dated 2nd February 2010, Mmme Andrea Gavinelli, Head of the Unit of Animal Health and Welfare has advised me of the following:
‘In accordance with the objectives of the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010, the Commission is working continuously in order to increase awareness on animal welfare issues among European citizens. To this effect, the Commission will organise the first International Conference on Education and Animal Welfare on 1 & 2 October 2010.’
I wonder if any of the rescue associations are aware and would like to contact Mme Gavinelli about it. Commission Europeenne, B-1049 Bruxelles, Belgium.

Galgo in Huesca still on the run – please can someone help Charl catch him
A couple of days ago I posted about our friend Charl in Malaga desperately trying to rescue a terrified galgo with a cord round his neck. This is the latest news from her.
‘I have been out the past few days and evenings pacing looking for the white galgo. He keeps coming back to the same location, however there are workmen fumigating and he has been put off. It appears that they are fumigating the palm trees so the liquid goes directly into the tree. I hope that is all they are doing since any other fumigation is dangerous for our galgo.

Spanish Holidays – join a rescue, work in a shelter, experience the REAL Spain
Since Christmas, we’ve had a lot of snow and freezing conditions in our part of France, so I was praying we wouldn’t encounter the same problems as we prepared for our journey to Madrid to bring home our cargo of rescued galgos.
Suzette is a new volunteer to the team, and she has a big van, so I was looking forward to having a lot of dogs for company on the return journey. She had done an absolutely amazing job of collecting donations for the poor shelters which L’Europe de Levriers (EDL) helps, and from which it takes the galgos for rehoming in France. If I tell you that, by the time we reached the French border, the van was absolutely full to the roof, it is no word of a lie!

Rotaguau Perrera, Spain – the cost of saving a dog from a trip of hell
Rotaguau Perrera (dog pound) has now raised its charges for saving a dog from there.
Bearing in mind the number of hunters who are now dumping their galgos at perreras, this could be the cost to an association for saving EACH dog
72 euros for MRW
50 euros to the vet
40 euros more to the vet for ‘protective’ – not sure what that is
30 euros to take the dog from the perrera to MRW (animal transport company)TOTAL – 152 euros to save each dog.

Galgo Loose at Ikea with a cord round its neck – Cheap Holidays Torremolinos Spain – life is cheap!
Just received an email from that marvellous campaigner for galgos Charl – please pray she catches him.
Sorry, this was the first email which came whilst I was in Spain.
‘I just got back from going to Ikea and a white galgo with bailing twine wrapped round his neck crossed my path. I shot out of the car and followed him to where he goes. Very similar to the white sarna galga but very thin and sad. He was hard to follow, his fear of himself, solitary.
