  • Murcia – June 2012 – Spanish hunters still perpetrating unbelievable cruelty on their galgos – THIS HAS TO STOP!

    News in from Scooby Medina.

    Murcia: More than 16 murdered galgos found in a village in Murcia with signs that they were violently mistreated. The same galgueros there have more galgos, these were seen this week without water or food and with these hot summer temperatures…

    This is a place where several hunters keep their dogs in the worst possible conditions and where they horribly kill the ones they no longer want. Murcia is a dreadful place for animals, especially galgos, and there are many such places we don’t know about. Everyone should raise a stink. But the police need to have a chance to act ( it’s the first time they act, in that part of Spain they mostly completely ignore the cruelty cases) or we can make them angry and they can just turn their backs for good.

    WARNING. EXTREMELY UPSETTING PHOTOS

  • Seville galgo in a terrible condition in the gypsy camp

    Macu Seville gypsy galgo 1 250 5 2012This news came in in Spanish on Friday, but I’ve had to ask my friend Marisa Perez for translating, thank you Marisa..

    From Macu in Seville –

    Hi, I write you from my desperation. I want to kill someone!!!

    I went to the settlement to take some pictures and I saw this galgo. Alone like excrement. Everybody wanted to keep him far away, but he wanted to come near us. When I saw him, I felt my soul to break.

    I say to him, ‘nobody has tried to treat your skin, you only wanted some food and water and only found kicks and laughs about your aspect. All those stupid men called me fool for taking you and put you in my car, to hug you and tell you that now you are not alone.’

    Saturday, May 19, 2012. Today was a very sad day. I went to the settlement to take pictures since before I left and I took them and spread when they were in residence, now a thing impossible to do, since I have no means. What I ask is help for them: benefit for partnerships that take them and seek their family, adoption, sponsors to get them out and bring to a kennels, distribution to refuges, etc…

  • Arca, Seville – a volunteer tells her story

    Carmen of Arca Seville 200 4 2012A Spanish volunteer tells her story.

    “My name is Carmen and I grew up in a village close to Seville in the South of Spain. I always liked animals (when I was a child I always wanted to have a cat). However, I never got any because “animals are not for homes but for the countryside”. I remember seeing galgueros riding a motorbike and pulling 5 or 6 galgos behind for training. This was a familiar picture, so it looked normal to me. I never asked myself why there were always different galgos from season to season. I cannot remember having wondered about the fate of those galgos I did not see anymore.’

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – saving galgos

    A documentary about the work of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert. It is in Spanish but the pictures tell the tale anyway. Some of the photos of hung galgos are old ones, some are in my book, but the film of the galgos in the hands of the hunter, the fear, the conditions, etc, illustrate just how little these men care for the dogs they have. It also illustrates the rehabilitation work done by the association.
