Why are hunting dogs not included in the animal welfare law?
Dogs, who are sadly used for hunting, are not included in the animal welfare law because the hunting lobby has exerted strong political pressure to prevent them from having rights.In this way, they remain completely unprotected so that hunters can continue to use them as mere tools in their hunting practices. Why are millions of wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits raised annually to repopulate hunting grounds? Millions of species intended for hunting are raised annually in hunting farms so that hunters have enough prey to kill.These hunting farms carry significant risks and negative consequences for animals and the natural environment.An argument in favor of hunting is that it helps control populations of wild boars and rabbits.Hunting does not help control animal populations; on the contrary, it is the hunting industry itself that produces artificial overpopulations causing imbalance in wild populations. -

Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville – over 400 dogs need help
WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER. There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause. Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future. Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.
The reality is we don’t have public aid. We don’t receive grants to cover this work. Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us. Thanks to you guys. (more…)

Galgo puppies abandoned in a cave in Vera, Almeria, Spain! Now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria
Last Sunday, two tiny galgo puppies arrived at the rescue center. Only six to seven weeks old… far too young to already face the harsh reality of this world. At that moment, we could not share much information yet, because there were still other dogs in danger. Their safety had to come first before the truth could be revealed.
But deep down, we already knew that terrible things were happening in the backstreets of Vera (a large commercial town near the coast in Almeria) — things no one should ever have to witness. Places where innocent animals are born into pure misery. Where a mother tries to raise her puppies surrounded by fear, filth, hunger, and abuse. It breaks your heart over and over again. (more…)

Galgo Batman hoping for a forever home
BATMAN – Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy, Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo. The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him. Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting. He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people. He is also good with other dogs. Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.
