The Mairena perrera rears its ugly head again. Podencos and galgos amongst the poor souls dumped there to be killed, even a puppy, also a black and white spaniel; living in horrendous conditions. It’s cold, wet, dirty – they are starving – why feed a dog when it’s going to be killed! Cry for these poor souls. If any one can help save them from a miserable death.

Please can any associations help this brave lady? Here’s the appeal I received.
CAN YOU HELP SAVE THESE GALGOS, PLEASE?
These galgos are in a shanty town in Sevilla. For two years Inmaculada has been rehoming them little by little. She doesn’t have photos of them all as the people become very angry and won’t allow her in the place. There were eight females, seven males and six mixed breed.
Good news for 6 galgos which were on death row in the municipal perrera in Murcia. Baas Galgo to the rescue. Here’s a link to the story in Spanish; English translation below.
‘Galgos are key to the success of a hunt, but many of them are killed or abandoned by their owners when hunting season ends. Rescue Associations claim that animals have become a disposable tool. Many were hung from a tree after a hunt, others are thrown into a well or wounded by a shot as punishment if the hunt has not been successful, and only the best are left in the field.
The entrance to Hell. From A.P.A.P. Albacete Noah’s Ark we want to present a new case of animal abuse, which occurred in the town of Chinchilla de Montearagón. Again, the galgo, noble animal, an innocent victim of the cruelty and ruthlessness of some heartless owners.
Last week members of the Protective went to check the call of some youths who made a grisly discovery, several bodies of dogs in a cave near the village.
Fearing the worst we viewed some of the caves in the area and found in several of them the same sad scenario, dogs in various stages of decomposition, bound with ropes to rocks inside the caves where they had been left to die slowly of starvation. .. and even whole litters thrown into small pits from which they could not leave.
Terrible news coming in all this weekend……and this is the worst. A galgo found hanged near Badajoz, which we know is a hellhole for all dogs. Here’s the link to the story. This is a Google translation.
Extremadura environmentalists complained to the Office of Environment of Badajoz on the 14th of January after the discovery of a greyhound hanged in the town of Don Benito.
The animal had been cruelly tortured with multiple blows all over his body and burns on the outside of the ears. He was hanged under the Secondary Canal aqueduct located in the area known as sows, of that municipality of Don Benito.
