  • EU Money wasted in Spain! Classes in schools on hunting!

    I’ve received the following from Mieke van Erp, to share with you. Many rescue associations are already up in arms about it.

    ‘This is where the money goes from The EU! There is checked in Spain and it is true but there are very few schools who want to learn the children how to hunt. So the money goes to the galgueros! I am copying some recent news about the other Spanish mafia (the other being the bullfighting one), the hunting fraternity, which will shock you I´m sure. This comes again from the unspeakable Junta de Castilla y Léon where they hold, among many other horrors, the Toro de la Vega and where the PSOE (political party from the left, not that it makes any difference) wants to subsidize all blood fiestas, this when people in Spain are going hungry and losing their homes in a fast downward economic spiral to hell.

  • Letter-writing campaign – join in – Spanish government, embassies….

    Please copy and send this letter to the Spanish government, provincial governments and Spanish embassies around the world. You will find the addresses in the links at the end of the letter. I realise you are all busy people, but it is important that we keep up the pressure on Spain to do something about the mass abandonment of hunting dogs every year.

    I realise also that postage is expensive if you are sending a dozen letters but, again, it’s not a lot of money if we can help make a difference, and help the noble volunteers in Spain and the Spanish islands every year all year with the mass abandonment of dogs.

    Would associations also please link in and ask their members and supporters to join in. We need letters to go out in their hundreds – thousands would be even better!
