  • Seville gypsy camp – revealing the truth, exposing the suffering

    Perros en las chabolas 1a 250
    This is a diabolical situation which has been ongoing for two or three days. Volunteers are working like mad to save these dogs.

    A volunteer writes. ‘Am writing to ask for help. I know everyone is saturated with dogs and right now, with the hunting season in full swing, every week we find more and more dogs. But I had to send this appeal.

    It’s a case in Seville in a shanty area. There are gypsies with many compounds made of metal where they put hundreds of dogs, above all galgos and podencos waiting to be tried by the gypsies as to if they can be used for hunting. Those that can are sold to the galgueros. The others they kill. They rent these places for months and have to pay the head of the gypsy hierarchy.
