Update Galgo Racing Malaga – more urgent emails to send – please help stop this!
Please everyone, your help is still needed to stop galgo racing in Malaga. 112carlotagalgos and Galgos en Familia are pulling out all the stops. Here’s an update from Charl del Rio.
‘As we know galgos are used as “renta” dogs not pets! Therefore this gets passed off as Cultura Agriculture department. No-one wants to take responsibility to answer. Due to the welfare of the Spanish galgo and the fact that no other carrera de galgo has been held at the hipodromo in Malaga or any other in this area, they are duty bound to give information regards who placed the race there and if there will be permissions to give further races. They need flooding with emails.’

Murder in Linares, Jaen – write to your Spanish Embassy to protest
ArcoNatura Linares: “battered and burned in Linares, this galga was found on 25th April 2012… This is what people do with a galga in Linares (Jaén).” A harmless galga, battered and burned alive. Volunteers Arconatura llevabamos were trying to catch her, had a place for her, knew she was pregnant. They went in search of her to try and catch her and this is what they found. There was no trace of the puppies, babies cut from her and taken for who knows what.
This is the reality of Spain- we need the world to see how inhuman have people become!
The Spanish government keeps saying these things don’t happen any more(!) but in our experience they happen just as much as before mainly because of the general indifference of both the authorities and the citizens and also the lack of strong laws to protect the animals.
Please write to the Spanish embassy in your country, attach these photos and tell them you will not be visiting Spain until they protect the animals. Thank you. PACMA

Las Palma, Canary Islands – man shoots dog dead with homemade weapon
FECAPAP (Canaria Federation of associations protective of animals and plants), in the Canary Islands, recently condemned the killing of a dog by a home made weapon. Earlier this week, a resident of Mazo, La Palma, killed his dog by shooting it with an illegally owned homemade firearm made of two cylindrical tubes, using 16 cartridges! The man was arrested by the Guardia Civile and will be prosecuted for possession of an illegal firearm.
FECAPAP (together with PACMA) have denounced the killing, in that the dog’s owner didn’t give it a chance of being rehomed by handing it in to a local shelter.
