Last week 15 galgos were saved from death row in the Jerez killing station, Cadiz. As soon as they had been removed, another 15 arrived, dumped by the brave courageous hunters (sarcasm!). Oh, these hunters think they are such BIG men! They are not men, they are not human, they are worse than scumbags, a cockroach I would squash beneath my shoe!
Who is going to save these poor deserving terrified confused souls? 9 males, 6 females. All the shelters are collapsing under the mass abandonment this year. How many more can be saved?
Latest news on the galga suspected of being used in dog fighting is in. Vera says…
Her name is Tinta and she has had her first operation. In 2 weeks the following one. She is negative in Leishmania, Erlichea and Filaria so that is great news. She is behaving very well and seems happy despite all her wounds.’
Let’s all hope she continues to make a great recovery.
News came in last week about this galga taken to a vet for urgent medical treatment. It is suspected that the wounds were caused by a dog fight. Because of their calm non-aggressive nature, galgos are often used as bait to train fighting dogs! It is possible her uteris and womb are damaged, she has been operated on and is now in a foster home in Cadiz.
SOS Galgos have taken some of the galgos from the Jerez perrera in Cadiz, including the heavily pregnant bitch. Here’s what Anna Clements says.
‘Some photos of the galgos we got out of the Jerez shelter today (Monday). The two brindle ones together should be arriving on Wednesday and will be at the event. We plan to get some more out during the course of the week. More were taken into the perrera today, brought in by hunters.’
Jerez perrera, Cadiz – 15 galgos dumped for killing, at least one of them heavily in pup, all of them terrified, wondering what they have done wrong to be in such a place. And it’s only June since Pro-Galgo took some galgos from death row in Jerez, for rehoming! If anyone can help, contact Maribel urgently maribeljerezsos2@gmail.com
