This note was sent by Cobie at Scooby Valladolid – you may remember last year the Junta proposed rescinding the law in Andalucia.
‘Good news: this letter, send to Fermin, informs that the junta de Andalucia will NOT approve the training from galgos behind motorised vehicles, it STAYS forbidden like in the rest from Spain!
Fermin: ¡Lo hemos conseguido!
On November 24th 2013 the DutchGalgoLobby foundation organizes its 2nd information day. Besides information on the activities of DutchGalgoLobby the public will get the premiere of the unique prize winning documentary ‘Febrero’ (February the cruellest month). This documentary is produced by Irene Blanquez, co-owner of Waggingtale films. (www.waggingtale.org).
Without shocking images the documentary shows the reality of the life of the Galgo in Spain in a very intense way. DutchGalgoLobby has provided the Dutch subtitling of the film which itself is in the Spanish language with some English spoken parts. The premiere will be attended by Dutch DutchGalgoLobby supporters, press and members of various Dutch political parties.
Febrero has won the prestigious ‘Festival de cine de Pamplona’ award in the section ‘Eductactif’.
Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert urgently require photos of any galgos injured as a result of ‘training’ beside moving motor vehicles. Email them to comunicacion@fundacionbm.com
