The galgueros deny they hang dogs, they say it never happens now. I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true. And here is yet more proof that they lie. This is Julia;
‘Human cruelty has no limits and is clearly reflected in our little Julia. It does not take much imagination to feel the pain she has suffered, yet the hunters deny once again they do this, so cruel and heartless.
Latest guest of Galgos del Sol. Tina says ‘Marie was caught on the streets of Torre Pacheco. This is a town full of abandoned galgos where I am trying to catch Lorenzo. When I got the call i thought it might have been him they caught! It was Antonio who called me to see if we could take her so I said yes. She is injured, extremely underweight which you can’t appreciate in the photos and frightened. She will go to the vets at 5.30pm. We already know NO microchip. (UPDATE 30/03/2011 – she has not been vaccinated as she is too thin, blood test done and sent for analysis)

Good news from Scooby – 100 of the Seville galgos rescued. Here’s their news.
Dear Friends,
What can we say… your support is amazing! The response that we got for our plea to help 100 galgos in Seville has been overwhelming. We are pleased to say that these precious souls will be rescued in the next 10 days. We will keep you posted on their progress via our Scooby News page.
These young galgos and podencos in Seville were rescued by a young woman who now needs to find permanent foster or refuge accommodation for them. Please contact her direct

Abandoned galgos and podencos everywhere, as well as dumped in killing stations. Can you imagine dumping this little cutie in a killing station?! There is a team trying to catch the podencos in Valencia, (mentioned in a previous post), one of the dogs has disappeared; and there are dozens wandering the streets of Murcia.
Galgos del Sol have been collecting some, and are trying to catch others – too frightened to be caught, so needing to be tempted into a trap. When are the hunters going to realise that the majority of Spaniards despise them for the bad press they give the country around the world. And when are the laws going to be applied.
These dogs all rescued this week need their EU passports preparing
Link to an article in Spanish about a hunter who left his dogs to die. PACMA took up the case to prosecute. Herewith a Google translation –
Alicante
PACMA file a suit against a hunter who died left their dogs in Benidoleig
Photo: PACMADENIA (Alicante), Jan. 25 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Antitaurino Party against Animal Abuse (Pacman) has filed this complaint on Tuesday a judge in Denia (Alicante) against a hunter who they accuse of “letting their dogs die” in Benidoleig (Alicante), as indicated to Europe Press sources of this political formation.
Here is a story of loyalty and love between dogs. Totally the opposite of the bastard hunter, who left his bloodied shoes behind! For those of you who have not travelled into the Spanish heartlands and hell on earth for galgos, this also gives you an insight into some of the terrain in which they have to survive. Thank you to Valarie Woolf for sending in the translation. So touching.
Fidelidad: A Story of horror, fidelity and hope. Only 50 km from Madrid a galgo (one of many) is abandoned. Someone crosses her path, follows her and wants to help. He sees that she is guarding, that she doesn’t want to leave and she doesn’t want anyone to come near. The dead galga was her friend. A few meters away are the blood smeared shoes and the rest of the rope. (baler twine, impossible to break!)
Podenquita young and beautiful abandoned in the street. She is very affectionate and friendly, but not allowed to approach or pet. She wears a red collar, appears to have been lost or escaped from a hunter. We need foster care or adoption for her, since it is in an area of villas and we know that people are bothered by her presence. Also in danger of mistreatment or abuse. Please someone that has a space for her.
It is very urgent!
Contact: 645784096 tere_sa_ee@hotmail.com or receiving calls in the afternoon.
And another! Urgent!
SOS! At Risk: BETTY, podenquita abandoned, very scared and across carreteras.CÓRDOBA.
This is Betty, a female podenquita small, tan and medium length hair, abandoned in Cordoba. She is very suspicious, does not let you come, does not trust. These photos were taken by a friend was with me. This little bitch is on the street, she seems to be stuck, because there is absolutely no trust in humans. There is a girl who puts food and water down when she goes to this town but she does not live there.
The Mairena perrera rears its ugly head again. Podencos and galgos amongst the poor souls dumped there to be killed, even a puppy, also a black and white spaniel; living in horrendous conditions. It’s cold, wet, dirty – they are starving – why feed a dog when it’s going to be killed! Cry for these poor souls. If any one can help save them from a miserable death.
