  • La Gran Familia, Seville – dogs needing help, petition to sign

    This is an appeal from Gran Familia in Seville.

    ‘We have come to the limits of our physical capabilities for the summer. We know that
    currently there are many urgent cases that we that we are unable to help because we have a multitude of expensse built up – vet fees, treatments, and we have to pay for kennels for the dogs as we have no shelter.

    We have four residence with dogs in kennels which cost us 720 euros per month. Below are the dogs in them.

  • 8th October – World Event to End Animal Cruelty – join a local one

    World End Animal Cruelty Day 105 Oct 8th Message from Pia Berrend. We are planing a “World Event to End Animal Cruelty” which we affectionately refer to as WEEAC. An idea for the world’s first joint action against cruelty to animals which originated in the United States. WEEAC can now be found in 25 countries and 48 cities around the world, all on October 8th, 2011. Each country and participating city have organized events on their own.

    Our organizaton was founded this past Feb. 2011, and the response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic and we have many countries & organizations now involved and more signing on every day.

  • No Voice No Choice, 6th August, Chertsey, UK – support Galgo News/Podenco Post Stand,

    As I am due to go into hospital next week for a shoulder operation and will be unable to drive etc for at least 6 weeks, Kim Webster has kindly offered to organise a stand for me at No Voice No Choice, a huge animal event being held at Chertsey, Surrey, on 6th August.

    We want to give as much publicity as possible about the plight of the beautiful galgos and podencos who suffer so much at the hands of the Spanish hunters, whether on mainland Spain or the Spanish Islands.

  • Galgo puppies murdered in Toledo – write to the Mayor of Santa Olalla!

    Dead puppies road 250 3 July 2011 Hundreds of you have been sickened and horrified at the story of the two galgo puppies murdered and left by rubbish bins in Santa Olalla. In the message I received, it said Santa Olalla was in Murcia, but Galgo passionata Carla Johnson has discovered it is actually in Toledo. Now, that is where the galguero hung his 3 galgos in February this year, he whom Sandra Baas has taken to court.

    Thank you to Carla for composing this letter to the Mayor of Santa Olalla. His name is Snr Jose Maria Vallejo Herrera. Please join in and send a copy of this letter to him. His email address is alcalde@santaolalla.es – or this one – and the postal address is Snr Jose Maria Vallejo Herrera,Ayuntamiento de Santa Olalla, Plaza Reyes de España, 1. 45530 Toledo, Espagne.
