  • PACMA protest outside the Spanish Government, for inaction on animal welfare

    Who do they fear? Who do they protect? Why haven’t they taken it forward?

    Last week we have returned to Congress to remind the PSOE and We can that animals are still waiting, they need a law to protect them. But not just any law.

    They need a law that outlaws torture in festivities and shows, that frees them from circuses, that prevents them from being traded with their lives, turns them into objects and condemns them to abandonment. They need a law that takes them away from hunter bullets.

    They need the Zero Law, which requires only political will, courage and conviction, because the work has already been done.

  • Portuguese bullfighter and galgo abuser – arrested for animal cruelty

    Scooby Joao 4 400
    From Mo Swatek

    TORERO AND GALGO ABUSER!
    A DISGUSTING COMBINATION

    ‘The galgos that you see in the pics belong to the Portuguese bullfigther Joao Moura, who was arrested a few days ago by the authorities of his country for an alleged case of animal abuse.

    Joao Moura, apart from being bullfighter and killing bulls, breeds competition galgos, which as seen in the images had them in a totally unhealthy place and some of them presented a severe state of malnutrition.

    What will the galgueros have to say about this? Of course, they may not see any kind of abuse here…

    Bullfighters proclaim themselves lovers of bulls, hunters lovers of animals and nature and galgueros lovers of galgos.
    “Nice” way to love that some people have.

  • Protectora Scooby Palencia – saving a young galgo

    Scooby Pegasus lost 400
    The mass abandonment of the hunting dogs of Spain is never ending. Thank goodness for the rescue and rehoming associations. Protectora Scooby Palencia has taken this young galga off the streets to safety.

    ‘And now we introduce you to Pegasus, galguito rescued in Palencia. He spent several days crossing roads and we were unable to cath him. But the other day he sought shelter under a truck and our colleague Alba could catch him. He’s still a little scared, but he’s a very good galgo.

    Thanks to the family who kept him safe until we arrived.’

  • Galgo puppy Prince – safe with Protectora Scooby

    ‘He’s only 9 months old and he’s so scared of people. He won’t let a collar near him and bites when you try to touch him.
    With that behavior anyone would think that Prince was born and lived on the street, but no, he has been brought in by his owner who has got rid of the most surly because he has 20 more galgos! Poor Prince! What he has had to live in his short life.
    Need a foster home that has experience with this kind of dogs and help you trust people.
    We don’t want Prince to spend every year of his life at the shelter.
