A time for family and reflections
Hi Folks
Just to let you know that the pages of Galgo News will be silent for a few days. I have spent so long on completing my book and getting it to the stage for printing – the latter is being done as I write – that I have not had time to visit my lovely family in the UK. So today I fly off to England to see my daughter, my son and grandsons, and give them all the biggest Mum Hug ever!
Back in the land of computers next week.
But you can still order copies of my book by clicking on the link here on the homepage.

Estepona galga update – more news from Spain
You may remember the posts about the Estepona galga and Charl trying very hard to catch the poor galga. There has been an enormous amount of work going on behind the scenes of Galgo News, to try to catch the dog, sadly without success. You can read Charl’s report on her efforts here.

Update on Peritas, galgo puppy saved from injury on a Spanish road
This is Peritas, now renamed Ulises. After visiting the Los Infiernos vet, he was adopted and is now living in Madrid. He has problems with his hind legs, possibly a result of having had meningitis, or alternatively being hit when running loose on the road. His new adoptants are taking veterinary advice to enable the little chap to live a full and fit life. Just look at the size of those feet!
Thank you to Tina for saving him.

Zig Zag Kennels, Lincolnshire – Protest, get it closed for ever, prosecute the owner
Many British greyhound owners, breeders and trainers can be bastards, as well as the Spanish galgueros and gitanos. So here is an appeal for help from Greyt Exploitations to rescue British greyhounds from a hellish situation, and to support their campaign for closure of a stud and puppy farm.
ZigZag Kennels ~ Please Help!
Dear Supporter
We urgently need your help to ensure the welfare of a large number of greyhounds kept in appalling conditions at ZigZag stud and puppy farm on the outskirts of Lincoln. Please click here to view the extensive and very disturbing evidence.
The farm is owned by Charles Pickering who was first exposed in 2008 by the Sunday Times for selling puppies to Liverpool University for research and dissection.

WSPA – abandoned the galgos – write and protest
One of the chapters in my book ‘From Heaven to Hell – The Story of the Galgo Espanol’ looks at Spanish and International animal welfare associations. One of these is the WSPA – World Society for Protection of Animals. Many of the galgo rescue associations proudly display the WSPA logo on their websites.
My research showed that in 2002 WSPA carried out a ‘long term investigation’ with Scooby Medina into exposing the inhu8mand disposal of Spanish hunting dogs. The WSPA finished working on the issue on 2004.
I asked the WSPA why they had abandoned the galgos and the terrible annual holocaust. Their spokesperson replied.
