  • Murcia – June 2012 – Spanish hunters still perpetrating unbelievable cruelty on their galgos – THIS HAS TO STOP!

    News in from Scooby Medina.

    Murcia: More than 16 murdered galgos found in a village in Murcia with signs that they were violently mistreated. The same galgueros there have more galgos, these were seen this week without water or food and with these hot summer temperatures…

    This is a place where several hunters keep their dogs in the worst possible conditions and where they horribly kill the ones they no longer want. Murcia is a dreadful place for animals, especially galgos, and there are many such places we don’t know about. Everyone should raise a stink. But the police need to have a chance to act ( it’s the first time they act, in that part of Spain they mostly completely ignore the cruelty cases) or we can make them angry and they can just turn their backs for good.

    WARNING. EXTREMELY UPSETTING PHOTOS

  • Calling all associations to Mazarron, Murcia – 40 galgos and pods starving to death

    Gypsy galgos Mazarron 250 4 2012Galgos del Sol, La Forteleza and Andreas Animal Rescue are returning this evening to the gypsy camp at Mazarron where it has been discovered that he has more dogs there. There are over 40 galgos and podencos hidden in dark holes with no food or water.He has already had a 4,000 euro fine from Seprona, but they do not stop him taking on more dogs. These are just being left to starve to death.

    La Forteleza,GdS and AAR,all agree that these dogs are in a far worse state than the Bullas pods and galgos. They desperately need help from other charities to try and get these dogs out. This is the same man that had the 70 galgos and pods that were rescued earlier this year.

    Why does an association not take this man to court? Baas Galgo does, in Madrid and Toledo. I can understand the local associations being nervous because this bastard will know where they live, their children, their cars. He and his cronies could target them. But surely there is another association which could take further steps. Surely not all the Seprona and local judges are hunters who buy dogs off this man?
