Spanish hunting dogs need protection by law

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. -

How long is too long to leave a dog alone?
Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.

Refugio Kimba – forever there for the Spanish hounds needing help
Refugio Kimba is one of the oldest established animal rescue associations in Spain, since 1872. And today they are still there helping them
Galgos don’t come to Kimba by chance. They arrive broken, frightened, marked by abuse and abandonment. Used for years and discarded when they “no longer fit”. As if their life only has value while they run. They are incredibly noble and sensitive dogs. And even after everything, they still trust. They are still looking for a cuddle, a home, a chance. That’s what hurts the most.
We don’t ask for pity, we ask for awareness. Don’t let your suffering normalize. Don’t look away. They have no voice. We do.
From Refugio Kimba we will continue to fight for every greyhound. Use your voice for them -
