More publicity, from an Australian reader, about the atrocities perpetrated against the galgos in particular in Spain. Be warned, the photo is not pleasant.

Gesser Galgos – Pro-Galgo & Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert to the rescue
I’m pleased to be able to tell you all that Pro-Galgo and Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert have taken the latest batch of galgos at Gesser killing station, Jerez. You can see the photos of some of them here, by the fireside at Pro-Galgo. Sadly, as President of Pro-Galgo Mo Swatek says, their places will soon be taken up by dozens more.
‘We have taken 14 of the Gesser galgos and 20 went to Fundacion Benjamin
Mehnert near Seville. With other associations, a total of 48 galgos have been saved recently from Gesser.’Remember, they will all need forever homes. Please contact the associations direct on the links above, if you can help in any way, including donations for vet fees.
On the link above, you can also read the story of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert rescuing dogs from a village of drug addicts.

Asociacion Baas Galgo – denouncing the hunters – how you can help
Sandra Baas of Asociacion Baas Galgo is not afraid of taking on the hunters through the Spanish courts. Each case of animal cruelty is recorded when she and her team make a denuncia in the area where it happens. This is the latest case, in the hellhole of Toledo, and Sandra is appealing to everyone to get in touch with her with similar examples of the hunters’ cruelty, to enable her to build a solid file.

Malaga, podenca Ana needs your help
This is an appeal for help for vet fees and food for Ana, a podenca Andaluz abandoned, injured and with pups near Valencia. She was eventually rescued, after more than 2 months of gaining her trust, and is now with 112carlotagalgos being repaired, healed and prepared for her forever home. Read her story here. Remember, podencos suffer just as much as galgos at the hands of the galgueros.

Accommodation in Spain – fun holidays in Spain!
This is not the face of Spain that the Spanish people want to show the world, but this is the face of Spain which the galgueros show to the world. Sickening, senseless death and injury caused by irresponsible hunters who take no responsibility for the misery they cause. And now the streets, refuges and killing stations are overflowing with abandoned galgos, in their hundreds every week, across Spain. Only the other day I heard that some galgos had been hung in Murcia. Please publicise the problem far and wide; one day we have to shame Spain to take action to stop it.

Injured Galgo in Cadiz, can an association take him and heal him?
This poor soul is in Barbate, Cadiz. He is very thin and, as you can see, has an eye out. Surprisingly he is willing to get n a car, he is not too afraid, wags his tail a bit. The problem is that the volunteer has not the funds to pay for the operation needed on the eye. She desperately needs a foster home for him, and an association to take care of the eye operation with their vet. Please, is there an association anywhere who will take this poor boy in and save what is left of his eye. Goodness knows what caused this damage.
If you can take him, please contact Helena 657133551 helenamalia89@gmail.com
