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.

Olivenza Perrera, Badajoz – Auschwitz for Galgos – and still the hunters deny any cruelty to galgos!!
The Hunting season in Spain is about to begin – for ‘hunting’ read also ‘coursing’. The poor rejected galgos and podencos from the 2010 season are still arriving in perreras across Spain for killing, or being abandoned and injured in road accidents.
The Hunting Federations deny there is any cruelty connected with their members’ treatment of their galgos. They claim that all the scaremongering is because of ‘animal rights’ people lying. They continue to stick their heads up their a…s and ignore the fact that photos and videos abound on the Internet to prove a lie to their claims.

Financial crisis at Scooby Medina, Spain! Bid on their Facebook Auction before 21st August 2011
The animal shelters in Europe are really feeling the effects of the recession and financial crisis. Scooby Medina is one of the oldest and largest animal rescue association in Spain, and now they are in crisis. Here is the news from their website as of 12th August 2011. Link to their Facebook Auction here
Critical Situation at Scooby
Dear Friends,
The situation at Scooby is absolutely desperate. Our shelter is completely full with 500 dogs and our adoptions have decreased significantly due to the economic crisis. We urgently need to rehome our animals.

Spanish hunters – another way to kill a galgo!
The ever resourceful galgueros are always coming up with ideas of how to maltreat their loyal and long-suffering galgos L’Europe des Levriers reports on two cases which will make you weep for the pain these poor galgos suffered.
A miracle – recently two galgas managed to find their way to a shelter while they were dying. No doubt attracted by the smell of the food for the dogs, they walked a long way, under extreme suffering, relying on their survival instincts.

Cheap accommodation in Valencia – food not included!
Look carefully, you might see a puppy in there. And it’s not only the animals for whom life is hard. It is also hard for animal rescuers. This is a tale from one, near Valencia. She’s been trying to rescue a galga and her puppies. This is the story.
‘Today was a horrible day. Again I saw the mother walking through the village and crossing or standing in the middle of the road, cars rushing by, these people do not even reduce their speed to avoid the dog.
