You will remember the postings of the galgos in the Mairena killing station, and a brave woman who went inside to take the photos. She has now been forbidden to take any more pictures. So the rest of the world will not know in future what goes on in side there.

Podencos suffer too – Spanish Sun? No fun for these guys
The cruelty is never ending, podencos suffer too. This chap has lost half his front leg, possibly in one of those ghastly metal snares. And another one abandoned nearby. Has anyone any room for them?

Update on Balming of Galgos
There are stories coming out of Spain now saying that the story of the balming of galgos at Cordoba University was the work of someone posing as a student at the university. I have seen copies of documents containing the original information. We have a saying in the UK ‘no smoke without fire’ – which means that there has to be an element of truth in a story.
I will continue with my investigations, as will others, as this has now stirred up quite a hornet’s nest.
Watch this space!

EU condemns wolf hunt – why can’t it condemn the annual massacre of galgos?!
This has just come through from the EuroGroup for Animals newsletter.
Swedish wolf hunt condemned
The Swedish government was criticised by animal protection and conservation organisations across Europe in December, after it authorised the killing of a substantial proportion of the country’s wolf population. No less than 12,000 applied to hunt 27 wolves, the set quota. The majority of animals were killed on the first day of what was believed to be a less than humane hunt. Sweden’s wolf population has only just started to recover after the species became seriously endangered in the 1970s. For this reason, wolves have not been hunted there for over 45 years. Wolves are a protected species under the EU’s Habitats Directive, but may be killed if they threaten livestock or a country’s economic situation.
So why can’t the EU condemn what happens to Spain’s galgos?!!
