  • Galga raped in Seville!

    This is from my Facebook page Save the Galgo.

    ‘Sorry to bear bad news but this is the most disgusting thing I ever heard. In a marginal area in Seville a poor galga now named Abril has been raped by two men, if they can be called that. Abril is in Clínica Veterinaria blelavista in Seville. She has vaginal injuries and haemorrhages from the ordeal.

    She might need a foster home or a forever home. I do not know more details but what it says in the clinic page… When you think you have heard everything these bastards manage to disgust with more barbarities.’

    I remember reading a story a year or two back where some Spanish men raped a horse. I’m sure it’s not the only country where it happens, sadly.

  • Madrasa, Seville – abandoned galgos & podencos urgently need help

    Seville galgos & podenco 300 1 2013These skeletal galgos with bad skin problems have appeared in Madrasa, a suburb of Seville, they have wounds on their bodies, two have broken tails and one has problems on a back leg. They are in an area where hunters often abandon their dogs, now hunting is drawing to a close.

    The podencos are also in Madrasa. One podenco is injured, weighs about 10kg, and 5 babies. They are in an area of orange trees. The male podenco has not been seen for a week.

    Please can anyone take them in, help us with them?

  • Please sign petition – Close Mairena killing station!

    Mairena 250My heart is very heavy. I have mainly only bad news coming in from Spain at the moment – stupidity of Spanish authorities, sickening cruelty of the ‘inhuman’ species, and the suffering of all dogs in perreras. I have long publicised the Mairena perrera in Seville province, Andalusia, as one of the worst in Spain – indeed 3 or 4 years ago volunteers were stopped from taking photos of dogs needing help, because of the bad publicity. Why feed a dog you are going to kill?

    Please sign this petition – if we do nothing, nothing will change – if we sign, we might make a change. Please ask everyone you know to sign. Below is an Internet translation into English; sorry, no time to correct grammar but you get the gist!

  • Prodeanse, Seville – saving more galgos and podencos

    Prodeanse Mary 2 200 12 2012Prodeanse was one of the small shelters in Seville which I visited in September. It’s in a terrible area for abandonment of dogs – and horses and mules on tethers day after day, no shelter from the weather – hot or cold. Here are two more souls now in the care of the Prodeanse team.

    “MARY and PANDORA”

    It hurts so much that we’d shout and scream, if thus we find peace and relief that we have never found because of many unfortunates… Mary and Pandora since they were born know first-hand the so-called “sack man” which is none other than a Hunter, galguero, rather bad guy, bastard, unfortunate… Although I would prefer to use another vocabulary!

  • Seville & Huelva – galgas on the streets – in danger…

    Seville 250 11 2012Abandoned galgos and podencos everywhere, every year now it gets worse – there are thousands in the perreras already, due to be killed – or the galgueros say to volunteers, ‘take this dog or I will kill it’. How do the volunteers cope?!

    Here is a young galga abandoned in Seville province, in danger on the streets – or becoming pregnant! Contact ..CONTACT GEM…SEVILLE 679106878… THANK YOU!

    And this beauty too.

    She’s in a village in Huelva, she’s been there all summer. She had puppies which have disappeared – stolen, killed, who knows. She was very fearful but a person in the village has been feeding her and now it would be possible to catch her. But there is no where for her to go.

    Seville galga 200 11 2012Appeal is out to try and rescue this poor galga, in a village in Seville province, in an industrial area near a gitano camp.

  • Galgo pups dumped in a skip – urgently need experienced foster mom.

    Seville galgo pups 2250 8 11 2012We’ve read about the heartless Portuguese hunters taking newborn galgo babies away from their mothers and killing them, so the mothers can be sent hunting/racing again. These galgo babies are only a week old and were found in a skip in Villaverde del Rio, Seville!

    Here’s the appeal. ‘These small left them abandoned in a container, told us, and when we arrived were so small!! do how can do this? It must be inhuman and have no heart…

    We have nowhere to have them since they need to eat every hour and the people who we want to help are working and can not attend properly. We collected them last Friday, (2/11/2012) the weekend they were with a companion, on Monday with a paid host, but I can’t afford 10 euros/day it cost and already on Tuesday returned to collect them.

  • Galgos 112 Kina and Prodeanse Maika – help the galgos, beat the galgueros

    Kina Galgos 250 112 11 2012Two sickening stories of maltreatment to galgos. Kina needs your support, was picked up by association ADAM, Animal Protection Association of Marchena, who say ‘Kina had been shot in the shoulder, has multiple injuries and after diagnosis has broken femur, humerus and hip – suspected dragged behind a car ‘training’ galgos. The galgo is a beautiful tiger brindle, only a year old’. Because of the seriousness of his injuries, ADAM asked Galgos 112 to take over his care and rehabilitation. Read about it here and to donate to vet costs.

    Maika is another one of those angels who fall into the hands of galguero hicks, say Prodeanse.
