I misunderstood the story of these galgos. Cobie tells the story
Today I found out through one of my Spanish contacts that the abandoning, hanging and in other ways mistreating of the galgos for some people just is not yet enough and now they abuse them in an even, I think, more cruel way than you ever could guess.
To embalm a dog, formaldehyde is injected in the vein while the dog is still alive,then take all the blood out of the galgo by which treatment the dog of course dies. They then fill the veins with a chemical fluid which keeps the corpses conserved for many, many years. This is called balming but I am sure you heard about this. So they have a big storage of dead dogs which they use for their studies. In many countries, eg. in Holland, this way of study is forbidden, there are new and technical very good new ways to do a vet study.
