  • Here we are again – galgos still in killing stations from last year’s hunting – now they’re loose again on Spain’s roads……

    Cadiz galgo 250 05 2011 It’s been a never-ending struggle for all the rescue associations in Spain, coping with thousands of galgos and podencos, as well as the thousands of other abandoned and maltreated dogs of Spain. And now, before last season’s detritus has been coped with, the bloody hunters are already abandoning this year’s rejects.

    PERLA1[1] 24 03 2011 250 I don’t know how the volunteers and associations in Spain keep their stamina and emotions, I am getting more emails in this year than ever since Galgo News started in 2007 and I am sickened by the sheer volume of galgos in perreras, abandoned in the street, hung from trees, kicked and stoned, abandoned to be injured on motorways……..it is simply unbelievable that the authorities in Spain remain blinkered about how this affects the international perception of Spain.
