  • Toledo – dying on the street – Baas Galgo to the rescue

    Caramelo 250 Baas 15 2 2012If you look carefully, you can see a galgo curled up under this tree. Sandra Baas tells the story. ‘They thought he was dead, but when they came closer, they found out this poor boy was still alive. His story in short:

    They named him Caramelo (Caramel). He is skin over bones, and has been shot several times. There are leads everywhere on one side of his body but mainly in his front and back legs. There are also leads that got into his body and those are dangerous. This gorgeous boy has a long way to go before he is healthy again.

  • The Hell of Toledo – graveyard for galgos

    Graveyard mound 1 190 1 2012You’re not wrong, this is a grave – a galgo’s grave. Toledo yet again! This is the story from Baas Galgo.

    ‘On December 18th we found a new cemetery of galgos in the province of Toledo. We received an anonymous phonecall telling us that at this point galgueros (hunters) massively kill and bury their dogs. There were 4 bodies in sight, put in sealed bags, in an advanced state of decomposition, two of them with microchip. Two galgos without chips had been hanged, some shot without a chip and several dogs which were only skeletons. We have made a denuncia and we await the results of the investigations by the Guardia Civil.’

  • Toledo, hell for galgos – left injured in an irrigation channel – Baas Galgo again

    Paquito 3 channel 2 190 1 2012Toledo, another Spanish hell for galgos. We’ve already had galgos – yes, there was more than one – in a deep gorge from which they could not escape, other than starvation and death. Now we have one in a drainage channel, with a broken leg. Some of you might say ‘well the galgos could have run into the gorge, and the drainage channel’. Those involved in their rescue have their doubts. And they are on the ground, to assess.

    Here’s yet another galgo in Toledo who was left, injured, where starvation and a painful death were his only options – if he hadn’t been spotted by someone sympathetic to animals.

    Baas Galgo tell his story.

  • Toledo, trash on the streets – Baas Galgo to the rescue!

    Trashed galgo Baas 1 250 1 2012Last year there was Esperanza, a galga starved, beaten badly, chucked for dead in a rubbish skip in Spain. Rescued as she breathed her last, she was saved from the dead and finally, after nearly a year of treatment and rehabilitation, she even walks unaided – not very steadily, but still, she walks unaided. Two fingers to the bastard hunter who did that to her!

    Now we have another,left for dead with the trash on a street in Toledo. People walked by whilst this galgo was unable to stand, walk, badly beaten, chucked out with the trash. Don’t tell me there is a God! No God makes the innocents suffer like this. Only the sick bastards (in this case Spanish, but could be anywhere in the world) who do this to innocent animals. Baas Galgo has saved him.
