Galgos on death row in perreras Hellin, Badajoz and Mairena
Why am I here, on death row? What did I do wrong? I bear the scars from serving you well, Senor Galguero, even though you starved and beat me. What did I do wrong?
You did nothing wrong, you were simply born a galgo in Spain – from the moment of your conception, you were doomed to a life of hell unless someone with a heart could rescue you!

Marching in Strasbourg for the Galgos & Podencos June 2012
My galgas Carmela and Sahara (with hubbie David) arriving at the European Parliament. I’m delighted to report that the Manifestation in Strasbourg organised by CREL had tremendous support from groups across Europe – over 1,000 people marching, with their galgos and podencos – and a borzoi and afghan. Just shows the strength of feeling against the Spanish hunters and their barbaric treatment they perpetrate on their hunting dogs, primarily galgos and podencos. Many hounds there bore the scars – where they had been cut up, beaten, burned, injured in road accidents, caught in snares – all walking on behalf of their ‘cousins’ still in Spain and still suffering. They came in family groups too, and one lady brought all 6 of her rescued galgos.

Badajoz galgo – galguera threatens to kill him! Another disposable dog!
A volunteer in Badajoz pleads for help for another galgo. ‘ARWIN is a young galgo 16 months old… the galguera (female hunter) contacted us and said he will kill him in 48 hours if we can’t find anywhere for him.
When we came to see the dog, we found he was terrified, he had a lot of bite marks on him, some healed, some more recent. I have asked the galguera please let us bathe him, heal the wounds and carry him to the vet… but she says the dog is not hers, and the dog has to go.

Galga Salva, burnt with acid – Galgos del Norte update
You remember the story of Salva, the galga found in the perrera in Burgos, burned with acid, rescued by Galgos del Norte. Sadly she lost her fight for life. This is a translation from their website.
‘Salva has left us, dehydration from the burns affected all her internal organs and she not been able to continue fighting.

Young galga needs someone to take her from the galguera – Badajoz
This little galga in Badajoz is only a year old, and nervous. Her galguera (female, note) says she will not hunt and so she doesn’t want it. I suppose we should be grateful so far she hasn’t abandoned it nor taken it to the perrera. Hopefully one of the Spanish associations or volunteers has taken her. It’s an example of what is going on all the time now, the pressure the volunteers and associations are under. Here’s the email contact, if anyone can help.

15th November 2011 – Badajoz, galgo found hanged
I make no apologies for posting this photo. On 15th November 2011, this galgo was found hanged by schoolchildren who went hiking in the SIERRA DE TENTUDIA, Badajoz, Extremadura.
The hunters still claim they do not hang dogs, that all reports are exaggerated. The truth is out there on the Internet for the world to see – THEY LIE
Pray for the soul of this poor galgo, that its suffering is at an end. Curse the bastard who did this and brings shame on a country where so many brave people work to stop the cruelty, and whose lives are threatened if they expose the truth.

Here we are again – galgos still in killing stations from last year’s hunting – now they’re loose again on Spain’s roads……
It’s been a never-ending struggle for all the rescue associations in Spain, coping with thousands of galgos and podencos, as well as the thousands of other abandoned and maltreated dogs of Spain. And now, before last season’s detritus has been coped with, the bloody hunters are already abandoning this year’s rejects. Loose on the roads of Andalucia, Murcia….how can the bastards deny what we all know – the majority of them don’t give a bloody damn about the dogs they don’t want to keep.
Be strong, Spanish volunteers, we are all with you as much as we can be.
