IMPORTANT WARNING: ALL SHELTERS WITH HUNTING DOGS/GALGOS/PODENCOS, ETC.
Please share this warning.
We’ve been asked to put the following message on our Page with this warning:
“With this message I want to alert you that there are currently serious efforts to recruit hunting and greyhounds from shelters, rescue organizations, foundations and associations, for use in hunting in Morocco.
Thus, our animals rescued from hell in Spain end up in the same hell in Morocco.
Would you please distribute this far and wide within your ranks, so that each one can be alert to and avoid this happening to their rescued hunting dogs?
Thank you very much.’

No words to describe how this poor innocent soul must have suffered….curses on the hunter who abandoned him, the people who hit him with their vehicles, the people who drove by and did not stop to help him. RIP sweet soul.

Australia’s greyhound industry exposed!
Terrible news from Australia about their greyhound industry – which a couple of years back was denied by in comments by Australian greyhounds trainers on this blog!
Greyhounds Australasia has admitted that up to 17,000 healthy dogs and puppies are killed every year because of greyhound racing — and that the industry would be shut down if these secret figures ever became public (www.AnimalsAus.org/tt7).
Its own board called the deaths of these dogs “indefensible”. If you agree, speak up.
And for the figure of 96% of greyhounds dying before they are 4 years old – read the same figure for the hundreds of thousands of galgos to which a similar percentage applies!
These people just don’t value life in any form.

How many dogs can you legally keep?
Thought I would ask the question, in view of the recent post about ‘Types of Hoarder’. Here are some of the replies I received.
In Switzerland: Dog owners have to pay a yearly fee for each dog, depending on weight. In addition the owner must attend a dog school to learn to handle his dog, and do that with each dog he owns. This is all registered at the City hall (ayuntamiento)
In California they pay $29 per greyhound per year, in some townships you are only allowed 2 dogs, in others 4 dogs – it varies a lot.
In Germany, it costs 170 Euro for the first dog, twice that for the second….. But, how many citizens follow the law and register their dogs.
