There was a huge demonstration and candlelit vigil in Cadiz last week protesting about the policy of killing dogs and against euthanasia of dogs in perreras Gesser and Zoosanitaria in Jerez de la Frontera. Those of you on Facebook will have seen links to all the pix via Save the Galgo. PACMA was one of the associations involved. Here are just a few.

Galgos on death row in Jerez, Cadiz – Spain’s disposable dogs
As I said, galgos galore abandoned, dumped to be killed – terrified, confused, starving. And it’s not yet the end of the hunting season. Here’s what one volunteer says. ‘Please send on. 20 Galgos in Jerez.. whats wrong with this country that they cannot see whats going on? This all across Spain in its thousands. Just cant understand it al today. case after case… after case! Please send out… although we all know tomorrow there will be more.’

Galgos, dumped, abandoned, unwanted, and hunting has only just started!
The dumping of galgos continues, increasing now as the hunters abandon the dogs which don’t make it as hunters, breeding bitches etc. Cobie of Scooby asks (on Facebook) ‘Why do they bring them to a perrera where they will be killed after 21 days and not 40 km. further to Scooby where they are safe?? I will never understand that. Anyway, this morning I took from the perrera in Simancas these 3 female beauties which can be taken of from the deathlist now and certainly will be adopted very soon to live a happy life with a loving family. They are young, beautiful and very, very sweet!’
And 8 more in the Gesser killing station, Cadiz; some of them have been reserved. But you can see from the pictures how frightened they are, not understanding why they are there. I suppose the only good thing we can say about the galguerros dumping them at the killing station is that it is better than hanging them, dumping on motorways or dropping down wells.

Escape from Jerez killing station – forever together in the UK
In the middle of December I posted one of many appeals about galgos dumped in Jerez perrera for killing – the Spanish hunting season was only half over! An email arrived in my Inbox from a lady in the UK who had her eye on one of the galgas and asking if I could arrange contact with someone nearby Jerez/Cadiz who could rescue her. As I’d already asked for a young one to be rescued for me, wheels were set in motion. The galgas were reserved – 3 and a puppy, and 112carlotagalgos travelled to the perrera to collect the dogs.
One of them, beautiful Risa, came to me for foster and rehoming – she is now with a lovely lady in northern France. Sadly the puppy became very ill and died. Holly, as the cream galga was named, was put into kennels, as was the other galga – who was very timid and lacking in confidence.

Spanish holidays in Seville and Cadiz – not for the galgos?
Appeals on behalf of two galgo puppies – one starving and sick – two galgas in Jerez killing station (one about to give birth), and one needing a space somewhere – refuge, foster…..
Black galga needing somewhere to stay, shelter, foster, near a block of flats in Seville.
macu19782010@hotmail.comMilagros is another poor victim of human selfishness, rescued from the worst of hells; Was a victim of the famous beggar that keeps puppies constantly locked in a dirty little carrier. We believe that the suffering of Milagritos ended the day we rescued him. But little did we know what was in store for him.

Here’s a lovely rehoming story – it’s amazing how rescued galgos cope with so many changes in their lives – different languages as they change countries, travelling hundreds of kilometres to new lives, flying across the Atlantic, then flying on again, across America!

Telma Shaw of GRIN says, ‘Here is the first picture of Rocky and Marlo, the Jerez boys that just arrived in the USA!!
