My galgas Carmela and Sahara (with hubbie David) arriving at the European Parliament. I’m delighted to report that the Manifestation in Strasbourg organised by CREL had tremendous support from groups across Europe – over 1,000 people marching, with their galgos and podencos – and a borzoi and afghan. Just shows the strength of feeling against the Spanish hunters and their barbaric treatment they perpetrate on their hunting dogs, primarily galgos and podencos. Many hounds there bore the scars – where they had been cut up, beaten, burned, injured in road accidents, caught in snares – all walking on behalf of their ‘cousins’ still in Spain and still suffering. They came in family groups too, and one lady brought all 6 of her rescued galgos.

Join the Demonstration in Strasbourg, 9th June 2012 – for the galgos
A Demonstration has been organised for 9th June, 2012 in Strasbourg in front of the European Parliament. Meet at 2pm (1400) to march for 1 1/2 hours to protest about the maltreatment of galgos and podencos by the Spanish hunters. Bring your hounds too, if possible. It is hoped that as many associations and individuals will come in large numbers to gain maximum publicity.
Where possible, car sharing transport could be arranged.
