I thought you might be interested to read this piece by Oscar van Gastel which he has posted on Animal Welfare Support Murcia on facebook. Although it refers to bull fighting, it could also apply to all animals used in fiestas, plus the Spanish hunting dogs.

Scooby Medina, Pro-Galgo – the truth about life in Spain
Pro-Galgo – illustrating life for a galgo in Spain, and still the hunters and politicians deny this happens every year. Where are their heads stuck? Up their backsides!
Tribute to Fermin Perez of Scooby Medina
Life in Scooby Medina – these galgos are still there – and now hunting has begun again. How many thousands more of these beautiful ‘disposable dogs’ have been born to compound the problem.
Don’t forget, Scooby really welcomes volunteers – make volunteering in a Spanish refuge your next holiday.

Spain’s Catalonia bans bullfighting! There’s hope yet for saving the galgos.
This is a report on Yahoo
Spain’s Catalonia bans bullfighting.
The result of 68 in favour, 55 against the prohibition was expected, since the Catalonian parliament had cast preliminary votes in December accepting a citizens’ petition to outlaw bullfighting on the grounds that it was cruelty to animals. There were nine abstentions.
