From Galgos del Sol
We asked for help & you came to their rescue. 23 rescued last week & soon we’ll go back for the rest.
Galgueros had left them with open sores, some of which had the bone exposed.
4am start & 7pm finish. We can’t thank our supporters enough for making this happen.

Act now to change this bill & protect all dogs. We must act now to demand a change to this bill and to protect all #dogs.

Remember Gazpacho, the galgo at death's door rescued by Galgos del Sol. Here's an update.
Watch Gazpacho defy all the odds! Gazpacho was rescued in appalling conditions and his kidneys were unrecogniseable. It was heavily suspected he might not survive long. However Gazpecho says he's not going anywhere... he’s living the life in foster with Carine & Patrick and having way too much fun!

Here's another one picked up of the s
treets in Murcia, now in the care of Galgos del Sol
GDS say -
This rescue has taken over a year. Team work USKAR, Galgos del Sol & the Guardia Civil! Sadly the pup in the first part of the video never appeared again. At least this girl at NINE years old won't have any more pups! Finally she’s safe.

Human cruelty will never cease to amaze us.
We have just received this beauty in the state you see. We don't know how she is able to stand, she is just bones. We will call her MALALA because she is a great fighter and we will get her to pull through.
MALALA will of course not be in adoption until she is recovered, we will keep you updated on her progress.
These are the dogs that the new animal welfare law leaves desolate.
To donate to her care, feed, vet fees, PAYPAL: puntanimals@hotmail.com

From Tina Galgos del Sol - what the tourists don't see.
Imagine just driving down the road & seeing dogs everywhere. That’s what we face in Spain. Next rescue… these two. The rescue waiting list is long
And another, lucky not to be injured.
This what the amazing volunteers in Spain live with every day. And the Spanish government doesn't do a bloody thing to stop it, to protect these dogs, stop the bloody hunters over-breeding and abandoning every year. Tens of thousands of hunting dogs at risk!

From Tina at Galgos del Sol.
'Only days after hunting dogs are excluded from the new Wwelfare Protection Laws in Spain, this galgo was found nearly dead' strangled by a shoe lace. Luckily found by people who are disgusted by these new laws. Deliberately tortured to die in agony. He’s not well & in vet care.
In relation to the case of the strangled Galgo, we have presented a formal legal statement. It can be seen in full on our FB page
Video - warning, upsetting pictures
Below is the action being taken against the owner of this galgo, who has been identified!

This petition is launched by associations of lawyers specializing in animal rights, to request a veto in the Senate to withdraw the reform of the Spanish Penal Code.
According to the decision of February 9th, 2023, galgos, podencos and all Spanish hunting, guard, companion and herding dogs are excluded from the new animal protection law and the abuse of the dogs is largely unpunished.
Please help, sign the petition and share it!

This is a precis of an article which appeared in my online copy of The Olive Press.

Valencian agriculture minister Isaura Navarro - guarantees the rights of animals.
Classifies animals as 'sentient beings' and not just pets.
Adoption prioritise. Registration and identifiation of animals required - owners have 6 months to register them.
