Galgo News

Galgo Loose at Ikea with a cord round its neck - Cheap Holidays Torremolinos Spain - life is cheap!

Just received an email from that marvellous campaigner for galgos Charl - please pray she catches him.

Sorry, this was the first email which came whilst I was in Spain.

'I just got back from going to Ikea and a white galgo with bailing twine wrapped round his neck crossed my path. I shot out of the car and followed him to where he goes. Very similar to the white sarna galga but very thin and sad. He was hard to follow, his fear of himself, solitary.

Madrid - here we come for some galgos!

Hi Folks - just to say that there won't be any news for a few days, as I'm heading off to Spain today with the rest of the team, to bring back some more galgos and a few podencos, saved from a horrendous death now hunting in Spain is ended.

Read about it next week!

Tina Solera,one of the galgo rescuers in Spain, has just sent in this story today.

Today I gave it another go, chicken, pizzas and countless sandwiches later(whatever I could get my hands on.. the pizza came from 3 teengaers relaxing and eating in the park).

Spanish to English - Translation please - SEPRONA at work for the galgos

I've just found this piece of news on Baas Galgo. Using Google translate, it seems to refer to Seprona arresting some more people for illegal trafficking in galgos. Please could someone bi-lingual English/Spanish confirm the report for me.

Thanks.

Seprona charge Spanish hunter with beating his dog - prison for him

Pic here, but not pleasant. The dog looks like a rough-haired podenco.

Mairena Killing Station - no more pix - what are they hiding?

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?
