The horror for the dogs goes on. Having reported two separate stories of galgo pups being dumped in rubbish bins...here's a third one, now saved.
Outrageous! Until when are we going to have to keep living these situations??
This morning (30/7/2015) we were in the car when we saw a group of people with two Guardia Civile looking in a dumpster. We stopped immediately because we feared the worst. And so it was, a galguita pup about 3 months had been lying in the dumpster in a bag.
Poor baby, being inside of the bag and nearly 40 degrees of temperature. Immediately I communicate to the Guardia Civile that we are a rescue and, even though at first they put to us a million questions! Finally we get the puppy to the vet.
Luckily she is fine, body temperature more normal and already treated for fleas. she is now resting.
Anfortunately hundreds of these souls live with this horror every day. She is the lucky one, how many innocent ones end up each day dying in containers? How do we fight this, apaert from by awareness. We need to educate the new generations, they are the future, to stop this horror.
Once this little galga has recovered from the malnutrition she has suffered, she will be vaccinated, chipped, etc. and will need a forever home. She is in Seville. Genuine enquiries only
As you say, education is the only thing that is going to change this appalling situation. Wonder how much animal welfare is included in the Spanish schools education programme though?
Gentle healing hug for this baby - may she go on to have a happy life, full of love.

My prayers are with her...thanks to the wonderful people who saved her.

So glad that this little one was saved - may she forget the past and get a loving forever home very soon.
I am still afraid it will take a while for Spain to realise what others think of them - education is the key and the young is the future; I just hope this does not keep happening but Spain is such a traditional country!

Poor baby she is beautiful. Dogs are not rubbish! Spay and neuter, stop breeding! As Marion says, education is the way forward and what a good idea to have animal welfare included in an education programme. Only way things will change is the younger generation understanding that dogs are not rubbish to be disposed of jn a bin!
