Fepaex, Badajoz, Extemadura – fighting the victims of the galgueros!
Further to my piece about running galgos by motorised vehicles, here’s another sad example of a galgo dragged by a car driven by a galguero, along with other galgos. Horrendous mental and physical injuries. Luckily this one, Otro, is safe with Fepaex in Badajoz, Extremadura. But it needn’t have happened! It’s against the law!

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.

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.

However, the Spanish interior including the region of Extremadura is also hell on earth for galgos and podencos. Here is a report from Fepaex – Federacion de Protectoras de Animales de Extremadura.THE PROBLEM for HUNTING DOGS in EXTREMADURA = Irresponsible HUNTERS + passive and complicit
