  • Hunting with the Spanish Galgo – no other European country hunts with greyhounds

    Another video showing hunting with galgueros; note some of the horses have chopped tails – many of the Spanish take off manes and tails – read about the annual horse wrestling fiesta in Galicia – they don’t think the poor animals need to keep the flies off!

    And further remember, most of these men will dump their dogs at the end of January, if not before.

  • The Spanish Galgo in Seville 2011 – translation of TV programme

    This video features galgueros in Seville showing their dogs, heading off for the hunt, hunting itself. It illustrates the type of terrain where the dogs are used, the galgueros themselves, lost galgos, maltreated galgos, El Refugio in Seville where the volunteers pick up the pieces after these men have abandoned and dumped their dogs.

  • 15th November 2011 – Badajoz, galgo found hanged

    Hung Galgo Badajoz 15 11 2011 190I make no apologies for posting this photo. On 15th November 2011, this galgo was found hanged by schoolchildren who went hiking in the SIERRA DE TENTUDIA, Badajoz, Extremadura.

    The hunters still claim they do not hang dogs, that all reports are exaggerated. The truth is out there on the Internet for the world to see – THEY LIE

    Pray for the soul of this poor galgo, that its suffering is at an end. Curse the bastard who did this and brings shame on a country where so many brave people work to stop the cruelty, and whose lives are threatened if they expose the truth.

    Here’s a galgo rescued from the side of a railway track and a main road. No chip, about two years old. Macu has taken him in but desperately needs a shelter or foster home for him. He’s in Seville. Can anyone help? Contact macu19782010@hotmail.com mobile 665809169 Sevilla
