This video features galgueros in Seville showing their dogs, heading off for the hunt, hunting itself. It illustrates the type of terrain where the dogs are used, the galgueros themselves, lost galgos, maltreated galgos, El Refugio in Seville where the volunteers pick up the pieces after these men have abandoned and dumped their dogs.

End of hunting season in Spain – galgueros dump their dogs en masse!!
I can’t keep up with it all on Galgo News, just too much to post; galgos and podencos abandoned throughout winter, refuges full to bursting, embalming galgos rears its ugly head again – more in another post – and now galgueros dumping their dogs at the refuges and shelters. Yet more galgos dumped in the perreras, and now cutting microchips out of the dogs before dumping. How do the volunteers cope?
Now I’ll tell you about a man who could make a change but hasn’t.
