Galgo thrown alive into a well and then sealed in! Spain today!
On one of my many visits to rescue associations in Spain, I went with some volunteers to a well where there were sometimes galgos thrown down kuve – to die. It still goes on today!

Chained to starve to death – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria
At the end of last week, we received a call for help that we simply could not ignore. What we found there touched us deeply…High up on a mountain, far away from everything and everyone, stood a ruin that could only be reached on foot. And there, from a distance, we caught a brief glimpse of him… a Galgo who had been abandoned and left to fend for himself.How is this even possible? How can anyone abandon a living, feeling soul in such a place, under such appalling conditions? A dog who depends on humans, yet was condemned by those very same humans to a life on a chain. -

Why are hunting dogs not included in the animal welfare law?
Dogs, who are sadly used for hunting, are not included in the animal welfare law because the hunting lobby has exerted strong political pressure to prevent them from having rights.In this way, they remain completely unprotected so that hunters can continue to use them as mere tools in their hunting practices. Why are millions of wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits raised annually to repopulate hunting grounds? Millions of species intended for hunting are raised annually in hunting farms so that hunters have enough prey to kill.These hunting farms carry significant risks and negative consequences for animals and the natural environment.An argument in favor of hunting is that it helps control populations of wild boars and rabbits.Hunting does not help control animal populations; on the contrary, it is the hunting industry itself that produces artificial overpopulations causing imbalance in wild populations. -
Galgos Felices Fundacion – galga hung by her leg – now safe
This is Vida (Life). And today, finally, her name makes perfect sense.
We were given the news of a heartbreaking situation: someone, without a minimum of empathy, left her hanging by one of her legs for an entire night. That’s how they found her the next morning, injured and abandoned to her fate.
Her paw is badly damaged. The vet has confirmed that it’s most likely that she’ll have to have it amputated, but we’re going to exhaust all options to try to save her. And if that’s not possible, we’ll do exactly what’s best for her, so she can run again without pain. -
Spanish hunter – banned from keeping dogs ignores and continues…
A hunter convicted of the Cabra horror case, tried again for having animals despite being banned.The original case dates back to October 30, 2020, when Asociación Galgos del Sur, along with the Cabra Local Police and the Guardia Civil, rescued and confiscated 24 dogs, mostly mongrels and mutts, from the farm, which was dubbed the “farm of horrors.”The convicted individuals chained some of the animals to the farm’s waterless wells, left without food, surrounded by filth and the remains of other dogs that had died on the spot, and with no shelter to take refuge from the harsh weather conditions, relying solely on plastic bags and containers with metal edges. -

Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville – over 400 dogs need help
WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER. There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause. Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future. Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.
The reality is we don’t have public aid. We don’t receive grants to cover this work. Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us. Thanks to you guys. (more…)
