  • Grand Protest in Spain – 25th March – join a march near you!

    On www.noalmaltratoanimal.org you can read or see about a big manifestation through whole Spain on the 25th of March against mistreating of animals and longer sentences in prison for people who are guilty of this.

    There is a comprehensive list of all the cities and towns in which a march is organised, time and place to meet. Please circulate this far and wide throughout Spain and get the population motivated. So many Spanish people are concerned about the bad press in the rest of the world about bull-fighting, abandoned dogs and cats, horse wrestling, animals in fiestas, donkey stoning……

  • Seville galgos, another 33 arrive at Scooby Medina

    Seville galgos 33 arrive 14 02 2011 250 More of the 100 galgos rescued from Seville have arrived at the Scooby Medina refuge. Here’s what Cobie says.

    ‘Last week arrived the first 33 galgos from another 100 from Seville, the rest will come this week. I´ll send you pictures of them and also pictures from 2 galgos of this group who have burn marks on their thighs, This is something the gypsies do, like a kind of microchip but more painfull for the poor dogs. They do it with acid from batteries or with a hot iron like with horses or cows.

  • Jerez – death row – and the massacre continues! Shame on the galgueros!

    Jerez 1 01 2011 200 Yet again, another list of poor galgos and a podenco on death row in the Jerez killing station. Did you know there are two killing stations in Jerez – Jerez and Gesser, the latter is a private one and it is claimed that they look after the dogs in their care better, food and water provided.

    I have lost count of the number of galgo pictures sent to me this winter, of galgos in Jerez and Gesser and Mairena – all disposed of by the hunters………they couldn’t care less. Contact Maribel if anyone can help these pour souls.

    Jerez 2 01 2011 200 When will the Spanish government, regional and municipal councils, hunting and racing federations going to realise the power of the Internet, how much adverse publicity this gives to Spain? So many people vote with their feet and their purses now – won’t go on holiday in Spain and the Spanish islands, won’t buy food produced in Spain.

    Millions of Spaniards are unaware of this – why should the minority of hunters and bull fighters and other Spanish animal abusers erode the International image of this country. Always the same, the minority ruin life for the majority.

    Pray that there will be some corner, some shelter for these poor abused souls. But all of them are overflowing, submerged beneath the sheer mass of abandoned and injured dogs. Support them, in any of the appeals I run. Even 10 euros will help towards buying food, vaccinations etc.

  • Mairena perrera – more cheap accommodation in Spain!

    Mairena 8 23 01 2011 210 The Mairena perrera rears its ugly head again. Podencos and galgos amongst the poor souls dumped there to be killed, even a puppy, also a black and white spaniel; living in horrendous conditions. It’s cold, wet, dirty – they are starving – why feed a dog when it’s going to be killed! Cry for these poor souls. If any one can help save them from a miserable death.
