Spain’s Catalonia bans bullfighting.
The result of 68 in favour, 55 against the prohibition was expected, since the Catalonian parliament had cast preliminary votes in December accepting a citizens’ petition to outlaw bullfighting on the grounds that it was cruelty to animals. There were nine abstentions.
Please could anybody offer a forever home to this adorable podenco, currently in foster in southern France.
Oco was found on the streets in Spain with long curly claws. His only friend was a cat and an abandoned galga (Spanish greyhound). His owner didn’t care about him and pretended he’d given him to a friend.
Another petition to sign, to help the galgos. Add your name and comment here.
Valarie Wolf has just sent me this link to an interview with Mo Swatek, President of Pro-Galgo. Please add your comments to it.
Some of you may remember Shadow, a little podenco with Sofia El Refugio Escuela in Seville, looking for a forever home. He looked so much like a male version of my little Podenca Andaluz Bebe, who was rescued injured on a Seville motorway. Have a look at the pictures on this link of Shadow in his forever home, plus Leela and Esther, a couple more galgos who have also found paradise in homes outside Spain.

This is CAMY, a young, injured and very shy galga found near Seville. Thanks to Susi from Jerez and her friends who rescued her, the dog was operated on but unfortunatly the long fine screw which held together the hind leg moved inside the joint and caused the dog severe pain. The pain caused CAMY not to use her leg so the muscles atrophiated completely. So Camy had to go back into the vet clinic in Barcelona for further surgery.
Pro-Galgo desperatly need help with the payment of CAMY’s surgery as well as the financing of the Jerez galgos blood tests.
You can read more on this link plus details of how to donate to the vet fees.
