  • Please sign petition – Close Mairena killing station!

    Mairena 250My heart is very heavy. I have mainly only bad news coming in from Spain at the moment – stupidity of Spanish authorities, sickening cruelty of the ‘inhuman’ species, and the suffering of all dogs in perreras. I have long publicised the Mairena perrera in Seville province, Andalusia, as one of the worst in Spain – indeed 3 or 4 years ago volunteers were stopped from taking photos of dogs needing help, because of the bad publicity. Why feed a dog you are going to kill?

    Please sign this petition – if we do nothing, nothing will change – if we sign, we might make a change. Please ask everyone you know to sign. Below is an Internet translation into English; sorry, no time to correct grammar but you get the gist!

  • Prodeanse, Seville – saving more galgos and podencos

    Prodeanse Mary 2 200 12 2012Prodeanse was one of the small shelters in Seville which I visited in September. It’s in a terrible area for abandonment of dogs – and horses and mules on tethers day after day, no shelter from the weather – hot or cold. Here are two more souls now in the care of the Prodeanse team.

    “MARY and PANDORA”

    It hurts so much that we’d shout and scream, if thus we find peace and relief that we have never found because of many unfortunates… Mary and Pandora since they were born know first-hand the so-called “sack man” which is none other than a Hunter, galguero, rather bad guy, bastard, unfortunate… Although I would prefer to use another vocabulary!

  • Seville & Huelva – galgas on the streets – in danger…

    Seville 250 11 2012Abandoned galgos and podencos everywhere, every year now it gets worse – there are thousands in the perreras already, due to be killed – or the galgueros say to volunteers, ‘take this dog or I will kill it’. How do the volunteers cope?!

    Here is a young galga abandoned in Seville province, in danger on the streets – or becoming pregnant! Contact ..CONTACT GEM…SEVILLE 679106878… THANK YOU!

    And this beauty too.

    She’s in a village in Huelva, she’s been there all summer. She had puppies which have disappeared – stolen, killed, who knows. She was very fearful but a person in the village has been feeding her and now it would be possible to catch her. But there is no where for her to go.

  • Seville galga – at risk in a galguero village

    Seville galga  200 11 2012Appeal is out to try and rescue this poor galga, in a village in Seville province, in an industrial area near a gitano camp. I’ve asked my friends at Prodeanse, as it sounds as if the galga is in the area near them – which is a hellhole village for galgos. Fingers crossed for the galga.
