  • Sightseeing in Seville – where to see local life

    Seville stray galgo and dog 250 1 2 2012These are a few photos of a pack of dogs living together in an industrial estate in Seville, surrounded by private warehouses and services. The dogs have been here for more than 2 years. The leader of the group is only about 3 years old, he’s the big brindle. There are bitches with pups, and you’ll see from the last pix that they even live amongst the bodies of their friends who didn’t make it.

    There have been denuncias to the police, and also appeals to Mairena Perrera (Protection Society of Mairena – Haha!) Still nothing has been done. This volunteer is asking any groups or associations to help her get them off the street as soon as possible. Rocio Sanchez Lobera nefertiri15_6@hotmail.com

  • Galgo Rey (the King) – Malaga now, have you room for me in your heart?

    Rey Charl bank 2 2012 250The nights are cold and the days are long
    and the shivering I feel is all day long.
    I ache inside and cry in pain
    for the hunger inside just reigns and reigns.

    Life alone means no abuse,
    something thats shows on my skin that’s loose.
    I wear the trail of disgrace and pain,
    and all along with nothing to gain.

  • Adda petition to the government of Castilla La Mancha, Spain

    Another petition to sign in support of the galgos, organised by association ADDA. Here’s a translation, the link to sign is here. Just needs your first name, surname, email address, postal code and country.

    ‘Galgos are eliminated each year at the end of the season. Considered as hunting tools, they are treated as waste material if they don’t comply with the expectations that are required or when they cease to be useful. Many of these animals are sentenced to die in the most cruel and slow way. Images of galgos hanged, beaten, thrown into wells… constitute irrefutable evidence of this shameful, absurd and reprehensible practice against noble, sensitive and helpless beings.

  • Ireland, Australia, China, Macau – Help greyhounds in the Far East – 3 petitions to sign

    Australian greyhound petition 250A year or so back I publicised a campaign to stop greyhounds being exported to China for racing. I mentioned that some of the Australian greyhounds were sent to the Far East, which provoked some lively discussion from Australian greyhound trainers/breeders. There is a campaign running at the moment to protest against greyhounds being sent to Macau. Here’s apetition to stop the export of Australian greyhounds. Please sign and also read on, as there are two more petitions to sign.

    Here’s the protest about dogs being cooked alive – in China, where else!

  • Spain – hunters – galgos – read what a Spaniard has to say.

    It’s always encouraging when the Spanish speak out against the galgueros. I was sent this link – by le Bulletin des Levriers – to a very interesting article about the galgueros, written by a Spaniard and translated into English. Here is a link to the third article – interesting photos but not yet translated. I’ve asked for the link to the first article as I have not been able to find it.
