  • Cruel Spain – galgos tied up in caves to starve to death – shame on Spain

    Cuevas Chinchilla cave entrance 01 2011 190 The entrance to Hell. From A.P.A.P. Albacete Noah’s Ark we want to present a new case of animal abuse, which occurred in the town of Chinchilla de Montearagón.

    Fearing the worst we viewed some of the caves in the area and found in several of them the same sad scenario, dogs in various stages of decomposition, bound with ropes to rocks inside the caves where they had been left to die slowly of starvation. .. and even whole litters thrown into small pits from which they could not leave.

You can already see the pix of my Fun Dog Show for the event, and here’s a few pix of the American event. Check out Mr & Mrs Spain – it could only happen in America, bless them!
