Why am I here, on death row? What did I do wrong? I bear the scars from serving you well, Senor Galguero, even though you starved and beat me. What did I do wrong?
You did nothing wrong, you were simply born a galgo in Spain – from the moment of your conception, you were doomed to a life of hell unless someone with a heart could rescue you!
More galgos on death row in Hellin, Badajoz and Mairena perreras.
A couple of videos for you to watch; one is a galguero telling the truth about the attitude to their galgos, and the second illustrates the conditions in which galgos are often kept. Note also a horse is kept there too! And a third video – life for the galgos, life for the volunteers – it takes its toll on them all.
There is also a campaign being run now to stop British and Irish racing greyhounds being sent to India; here you can see them being used to hunt in Pakistan!
