  • Galga Kira – victim of a hit and run – please help with the vet bill

    Lynn galga 5 250This is a story which could happen to any of us. Lynn Pauloudros does a lot of work helping galgos and podencos from her home in France. She now finds herself – through no fault of her own nor that of her galga – with a huge vet bill. She is running an auction on facebook to raise funds to pay for the treatment for her galga, but I am appealing here for help for her too. Please, if you can help, donate to her here.

    Lynn explains. ‘I rescued Kira from Olivenza perrera, she is about 7-8 years old. She had to be operated on when I got her in 2014 because she had been shot with a shotgun and the wound never healed. There was a pocked of pus under her muscles and half her tail had to be amputated. She also only has 3 toes on a front foot.

  • Olivenza Perrera, Badajoz – Auschwitz for Galgos – and still the hunters deny any cruelty to galgos!!

    Olvenza perrera sign 250 The Hunting season in Spain is about to begin – for ‘hunting’ read also ‘coursing’. The poor rejected galgos and podencos from the 2010 season are still arriving in perreras across Spain for killing, or being abandoned and injured in road accidents.

    The Hunting Federations deny there is any cruelty connected with their members’ treatment of their galgos. They claim that all the scaremongering is because of ‘animal rights’ people lying. They continue to stick their heads up their a…s and ignore the fact that photos and videos abound on the Internet to prove a lie to their claims.

  • Zafra, Badajoz, Spain – how can a man do this?

    Dode galgo in Zafra, Badajoz. (1) 250 Correct me if I am wrong, but there are few good things to come out of Badajoz, Extremadura. Mariangeles is one, other valiant animal rescue volunteers, those Spanish who abhor the practices of the hunters and the bad name they give the city, the road out…..

    Served his master, abandoned by his master, injured on the road, died of starvation and dehydration………….Zafra, Badajoz. And Badajoz had the audacity to apply for City of Culture status in 2016!
