Polar is settling in well. His favourite buddy is Bracken, they play together and Bracken seems to understand that he has to be a bit gentle with the baby! Especially Polar gets frustrated that he can’t walk the meadows with David, Floyd and Bracken – the grass is too long for a little boy with a bad leg. After they cut the hay – when the rain stops! – we’ll take him. There are no rugs on the floors, he doesn’t quite understand that piddles and poos are done outside! And yesterday he ran off with a crucial piece of the new swing hammock David was putting together for me! He’s not saying where he’s hidden it!

Murcia – June 2012 – Spanish hunters still perpetrating unbelievable cruelty on their galgos – THIS HAS TO STOP!
News in from Scooby Medina.
Murcia: More than 16 murdered galgos found in a village in Murcia with signs that they were violently mistreated. The same galgueros there have more galgos, these were seen this week without water or food and with these hot summer temperatures…
This is a place where several hunters keep their dogs in the worst possible conditions and where they horribly kill the ones they no longer want. Murcia is a dreadful place for animals, especially galgos, and there are many such places we don’t know about. Everyone should raise a stink. But the police need to have a chance to act ( it’s the first time they act, in that part of Spain they mostly completely ignore the cruelty cases) or we can make them angry and they can just turn their backs for good.
WARNING. EXTREMELY UPSETTING PHOTOS

Rey, King of the Galgos – needs your help
112carlotagalgos is a very small family association which concentrates on rescuing and rehabilitating traumatised, sick and injured galgos and podencos. Some months ago we told the story of Rey, abandoned, surviving on virtually nothing, he’d finally collapsed and almost given up the struggle. Some months on, he is doing ok, but a new problem has arisen. Rey needs help! He needs you, we need you! Here’s his story…
Rey came to 112 Carlota Galgos several months ago, found giving up, life had let him down. He lay in the dust with life draining from him,.. down and out. He was seen and rescued. He stayed with his rescuer in Sevilla for a month and along with Polyana joined us at 112 carlota galgos for us to recouperate them and socialise them into family life.
Rey .. seems he has everything against him, he is a black galgo in Spain, he is older and he is a natural hunter. He cannot be scolded for something which has been bred into him, he lived and kept himself alive by hunting. He is a hunter, he will hunt, and yet he will walk by your side like the gentlest galgo you know.

The true face of Spanish galgo hunting!
Écija is a city 85kn east of the city of Seville, in the region of Andalucia, one of the 5 regions of Spain where hunting with galgos is legal. It is also the city where this young galga was found. This is the face of Spain which should be transmitted around the world, to combat the claim of the galgueros that they are not cruel to their dogs!
Natalia tells the story. ‘This young galga we have named Isha, a galguita we collected a few days ago near Ecija. You can see she cannot walk, she has no muscles, suffering from severe malnutrition and high leishmania; we have had to hospitalize her to save her life.

Appeal from Seville, a Galguera (female hunter) wants to get rid of these two young galgas, as they are no good for hunting?! Doesn’t look like they have had a decent meal in a while!
