At the beginning of the week Fermin Perez of Scooby went out to buy a new cement mixer; on his way back he picked up yet another abandoned galgo. And then a couple of days later, this small galgo puppy was found in a pinewood, abandoned! Cobie, of Scooby, says ‘I would like to talk in that wood to the person who left her all alone there, without water or food!! She is only skin and bones, dehydrated and malnourished, some 7 weeks old. Now she is ok after an infusion, she does not yet want to eat but the volunteers are going to buy and cook chicken, we hope she will eat it!

A lot of Spanish perreras close in August for holidays. Normal would be that they stay open and personal take turns in going on holidays, if you´d ask me. Not here, they all go in August and the dogs which are there the 31th. of July will all be euthanised!!! Better believe it because it´s true!! Yet another part of Spain's shame…..

Mass Grave with Greyhounds found in Ireland
Over Easter weekend April 8 to 9, 2012 a hiker found 40 km south-east of Limerick, Ireland, an open mass grave with 7-8 greyhounds from the racetrack come.
An initial investigation by “Limerick Animal Welfare” shows that some cadavers were in a serious state of decomposition and there were also certainly two greyhounds dumped in it recently. It is suspected that there will be more skeletons, but the overgrown site needs clearing to allow further investigation.
