  • Galga Gabriell – her angels are helping her

    Gabriel 1 250The pressure on Spanish refuges and perreras does not lessen – daily galgos and podencos dumped…here’s the latest one at Pepis Refuge on 30th Novewmber, now named Gabriell. Jane tells the story.

    Once again another beautiful black galga dumped today. (30/11/2014) I hate the word dumped, but what other words can you use? I would say she is no more than 1 year old, she has a swollen front leg and finds it hard to stand on it, so vets tomorrow. Also we noticed blood running down her neck and a small cut where the chip would have been. No surprise there then. She too is quite thin, but we have bathed her neck, put a nice thick coat on her, given her some food and bedded her down for the night.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – saving galgos

    A documentary about the work of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert. It is in Spanish but the pictures tell the tale anyway. Some of the photos of hung galgos are old ones, some are in my book, but the film of the galgos in the hands of the hunter, the fear, the conditions, etc, illustrate just how little these men care for the dogs they have. It also illustrates the rehabilitation work done by the association.
