GALGO HUNG IN MADRID FOR CHRISTMAS! GALGO AHORCADO EN MADRID PARA NAVIDAD!

WHEN WILL THE BLOOD BATHS END?

Here I give you yet another hung galgo... Noel! I find myself struggling to know what to say, what to write because words fail me everytime I see a situation like this. How can someone do this? This is an enormous problem which is not getting any better, it just keep happening time and time again... the government have "blood on their hands" as much as the abuser!

A LAW IS OVER DUE AND WE MUST KEEP TRYING, how many more abandoned galgos will there be? The freedom to kill a dog in this way just goes unnoticed, the ease to end his life with no thought other than .. he was a bad hunter, worthless, costs money to keep.. throw him away, it doesnt matter he feels nothing!!! Does that ease the conscience of a person so bad inside they can do this, and probably repeat it again and again dog after dog? Its truly sickening!

Words fail me!

If you would like to offer Noel a home when he has recuperated, he will be up for adoption. If you would like to help in anyway please contact Cristina on the number below.

A "REAL" look at Animal Abuse in Spain. REPORT 20 MINUTES.

Every year there are thousands of cases of animal abuse in this country, Spain. Some who inflict torture are brought to justice, many are not! There is little an animal can do when it falls into the hands of their torturer, its in the lap of the God's when an animal come into the hands of a human - as to the life they will lead, "good, or bad" - they seem to have no voice, they cannot speak... they put up with and endure the starvation, the thirst, the pain, the numerous beatings, the EXTREME neglect that many face, in some of the cruelest "refuges as in the Cadiz case" - many on the streets, or looked into sheds... there for their owners to take their frustrations out onto.

Its extreme and MASSIVE the problem that Spain has with their animals, lack of education, lacking in the will to care, the government proud of their country... as much as the murderers who inflict pain and torture on animals the government have blood on their hands, just the same!

This happens, its real, it's in its thousands. When you next feed your dog a bowl of breakfast, walk him, tend to his every need, think of those in pain and awaiting the kind hand of courage to come in and rescue them, how long will they have to wait?

REINA - UNA GALGUITA MUY ESPECIAL! Reina - A very special Galga!!

My Galgo Friends.

INTRODUCING A SPECIAL GALGA "REINA!"

I sit here today finding myself writing from my heart once again about the plight of the galgos in Spain. Part of me wonders, when will this end - when will we achieve a law against this cruelty? Yet in the meantime I am so driven forward to help them in anyway I can, its becoming for me, my everyday life. Cases, galgos, podencos, emails, rescues, and all the time sadness in the will to try to help them, and happiness for those who make it to safety. It's with this in mind I wanted to tell you about a case, a really special galgo. She has really made an impact in my heart and I wanted to share it with you. She made her own choice and thats rare for a galgo. Her story is as follows:REINA Reina is a young brindle galga, she was wandering round the streets in Sevilla. Lola, a carer of the galgos pulled into the local supermarket and Reina caught her eye, thin, emaciated, with shocking "burnt" paws, she allowed Lola to stroked her. Lola then went into the store to buy food for her, on returning to the street.. Reina had gone. Sad, Lola looked round, and went to the car.. another galgo gone she thinks to herself. On opening the boot to place in the shopping - sliding between the 2 cars comes Reina.. Reina decides she is more scared on the street than she is of what an owner has done to her or what another could do, she jumps into the car. This is very unusual for a galgo to be so brave, they are usually so very lonely and scared. Beaten down she cant handle the streets any longer, and she found Lola. Lola took her home, and began her recouperation process, de-flea treatments, wormed, bathed, treatment for her paws at the vet, and became her foster mom. Danger lerked round the corner as a "galguero" (hunter) spotted her and asked for her on a walk.. this I may add is common, Lola now nervous rushes home and makes some calls,intending to find Reina another home. Fearing what was to happen. It did!! While showering "someone" entered into the house and stole Reina. Its as plain as that, hunters will stop at very little if they see a galgo they like, they think they can just take them, after all they are only tools, objects that feel nothing. Forcing them into tiny holes, boots of cars, horrendous travel trailers the size of a suitcase.. it doesnt matter its just a tool, throw it in. Hysterical, Lola and her associates began the search. Reina had tested positive to leishmania(sandfly) albeit it had not affected her organs, treatment is cheap to buy 1 tablet a day, and 6 monthly revisions.(She can live a perfectly happy life and a normal one.) Reina wears a tag saying leish positive. The search began posters, word of mouth, confronting all the builders where they suspected word had got out at seeing Reina with Lola, the building site over looked the garden of the house. The message clear, Reina is no good for hunting, breeding and has Leish. Continued pressure was applied to this area where they suspected the "thief" had come from, stating denuncias were in place, exhausted they sat, feeling low .. on looking up some 300 metres away a car stopped, a bundle was thrown out and without seeing exactly what it was REINA REINA REINA was called, gut feeling from her carers knew it was her, she ran and ran for her life into the arms once again of her foster Mom. She recovered but noone knows what hapened while she was gone, scared and unable to be left alone in fresh fear , reminders once again to Reina of what she survived in the first place before the day she jumped into the car with the open boot door.. a life she thought she had left behind that day! It was clear she could not stay in Sevilla and she has now found safety in a foster carers home in Barcelona. A miracle she was returned at all, its unusual Reina chose Lola on the street that day finding inner strength to be saved and then to be saved again. Reina is looking for a forever home, as are thousands of Galgos..each with their story - if you think you are that special person who can offer Reina safety and the love she has only just become to know, but forever please contact me at comdelrio@hotmail.com or Aurora at aurorafep@gmail.com she deserves safety and love. I find myself reaching to you all, asking for your help since the plight of the galgos needs more publicity. We need links onto radio stations, Tv ad's.. where are the dog food companies who place the loving lab on their sacks of food or playing on the adverts, why do we never see a galgo? When publicity in this way hits the screens, becomes the norm thats when I will see we are getting somewhere in that people see Galgos as pets. They surely are, they make the most loving pets. I have 3 children and Ambo ambasadog, adores them. He sits quietly when they need it, he licks them when they cry, and plays whenever they are ready. What more is there to need in a pet around children? Loyal, serene, they dont deserve the treatment they get. I hear the mistaken phrase all the time when I go out, "oh I bet he needs a lot of excercise, they run fast!" I dont walk Ambo anymore than I do my little dog, he does not offer chase or run and play any different to any other dog. For me, personally I find myself pulled in several directions trying to do my best to help, I know I cannot do that without public help. I find myself arranging the fiesta, and more to come, going to CYD SANTA MARIA Equine assoc. a place of sanctuary here in Malaga, my first love are horses - horses also get the raw end of the deal in that they become used and abused. I go in the search of seeing what we are all about, those who rescue animals and try to restore their dignity and inner peace in this world. Seeing what I can add to what seems to be the norm where animals are concerned, the blasé attitude and lack or responsibility in caring forever for an animal, - big or small. for more information please look onto the CYD site. They too need help..... www.asociacioncydsantamaria.com All these cases are criminal, harsh reality of galgos thrown in wells, hung, left to starve chained to a wall, rot alone. Burnt alive because once they had an ID. Thousands and thousands of cases. If you wish to help please contact me and more information is on my web 112carlotagalgos.blogspot.com there are many many ways to help, just by signing the PETA peticion on the web, is a help and you can do so from the comfort of your home. By far, the best help is a gift of a 2nd opportunity for a galgo, a home of love and safety. One day I hope to open a residency for holiday making dogs, something special, something a little different, at the same time I will have a place set aside for the galgos who need that safety, again a place of sanctuary.. it's my goal to achieve this and I very much hope that offers other people the chance to come to visit the galgos and see what kind of pets they make. In the meantime you will be sure to find an abandoned galgo in any shelter, and thousands between the the "galgo assoc who are looking for homes". As always I dedicate all I write, every conversation I have about the galgos, to the associations who work tirelessly to rescue and cure galgos of their horrendous past lives in their tireless attempts to re-home a galgo, above all I dedicate everything I say about the galgos, to the galgos themselves.. those rescued, and those in the cold, awaiting the kind hand of courage to come in and offer them a new life of love and warmth. Man's best freind is being let down by man, "May you the Galgo rise up in society to become the household pet you so deserve to be!"

INOCENTE BUSCA UNA FAMILIA! Inocente looks for a family!

INOCENTE!!

Inocente is a beautiful galgo mix, about 3 years old, but with a past that would make any person tremble if they had the least bit of sensitivity.
They tried to hang poor "Inocente". He has an old fracture of the tibia with a 40º distal deviation.
There are people who do not like animals, who do not want to be next to them, but they let them live in peace. However, there are monsters disguised as humans who are capable of the unimaginable from the time they are very young. They are the future abusers of all living beings, both human and non human. What they did to Inocente forms a part of their formation as a future sadist. Instead of attending school to receive an education, they grow up en masse like savages, even though we live in the 21st century.
It's an embarrassment to all the citizens of this country, and we hear more and more news of a more irrational type of abuse all the time.The truth is that the animal protection societies do not know how to put an end to this evil. More and more often we have to take on cases of animals who arrive in lamentable conditions, and we receive no sort of help from the administration. We need to thank a thousand times over all of our members for their membership fees, and all of the donations from our friends abroad. With their help we are able to end the suffering for some of the animals.
Those of us who dedicate our time to help ease animal suffering are not even given the water for free for these animals to drink. But those who are dedicated to torture and to bloody perfomances are given subsidies.
Tell us that this isn't a disgrace of a country. Kimba is asking that someone please help to find a family for Inocente. One that will give him all the love possible and who will help him to forget his past in Chiclana de la Frontera (Cádiz)

If you can help please contact KIMBA directly at:-

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE FIESTA DE GALGOS

De: LA CRONICA - Tu periodico digital Enviado el: viernes, 09 de noviembre de 2007 13:25Para: ddevida@ddevida.orgAsunto: LA CRONICA - Fecha: 09/11/2007




Una nueva vida


CONSEGUIR un nuevo hogar a los galgos que son abandonados cuando no sirven para la caza fue el objetivo de un encuentro de adoptantes de estos perros.


Grant, cuando fue rescatado en Utrera por la asociación Ddvida, se encontraba atado a una farola y estaba en los huesos. Después de recuperarse y vivir varios meses en una residencia, Grant va a ser adoptado por una familia holandesa. La historia de este galgo no es única. Esta raza de animales es abandonada cuando finaliza la temporada de caza o no so sirven para las carreras, por lo que desde varias asociaciones andaluzas se está apostando por la adopción de estos perros para que se conviertan en animales de compañía. El pasado sábado, 3 de noviembre, en el Refugio del Burrito en Fuente de Piedra tuvo lugar el I Encuentro de Adoptantes de Galgos, que contó con la participación de la asociación Ddvida de Sevilla, la Protectora Scooby de Medina del Campo (Valladolid), y la asociación malagueña CYD Santamaría. Durante este encuentro se pudieron ver galgos adoptados de diferentes asociaciones que fomentan la adopción de animales abandonados. A este encuentro asistieron unos 25 galgos que han sido adoptado por distintas familias. Durante la jornada realizaron una visita a Fuente de Piedra donde recorrieron las principales calles con estos animales para que los vecinos vieran que son perros que se adaptan perfectamente a vivir en una casa.Al igual que Grant a diario las asociaciones de animales recogen a numerosos galgos. Con este encuentro se ha pretendido concienciar en la adopción de esta raza, ya que son perros nobles y muy simpáticos, señaló el presidente de la Protectora Scooby, Fermín Pérez. Además Scooby está realizando terapias con galgos en enfermos de Alzheimer, en residencias de ancianos y en niños con discapacidad, ya que son unos animales muy dóciles y se dejan acariciar fácilmente.Pérez denunció que los propietarios de galgos los consideran como un animal de usar y tirar y cuando ya no les sirven se deshacen de ellos, utilizando métodos tales como ahorcarlos y tirarlos a pozos. "Con la adopción pretendemos darles una segunda oportunidad a un perro dócil y noble que es ideal como animal de compañía", señaló Pérez.En Utrera, al haber una gran afición a la caza, también hay muchos galgos. En este municipio trabaja la asociación Ddvida que durante sus tres años de vida ha rescatado a numerosos galgos de morir. Encarnación Ranea, una de las responsables de la asociación, manifestó que una vez que rescatan al perro, lo cuidan de sus heridas, lo nutren y comienza la etapa para que sean adoptados, a través de su página web las personas que estén interesadas en adopciones pueden ver a los animales.AdopcionesRanea señaló que muchos de los galgos son adoptados en países del norte de Europa, ya que en esta zona se considera al galgo como un perro de compañía, mientras que en España y sobre todo en Andalucía la gente no tiene esa conciencia, por este motivo organizan encuentros para concienciar a la población.Este I Encuentro de Adoptantes de Galgos realizado en Fuente de Piedra se ha organizado, ya que el director del Refugio del Burrito, Iván Salvia, tiene adoptado a tres galgos y Charlotte del Río, adoptó uno a través de Ddvida y decidieron realizar un encuentro para concienciar a la población.Cualquier persona que esté interesada en adoptar un galgo español y conocer los problemas que sufre esta raza sólo tiene que entrar en la página web ddevida@ddevida.org.

PETA JOINS THE CAMPAIGN FOR GALGOS!

PETA ALERT - (peticion below!)

I am so thrilled to have worked alongside PETA and proud to say that they have made an ALERT against the cruelty to the SPANISH GALGO!

This is an alert that when you sign the peticion, will automatically go through to the government officials in protest to "hunting with galgos" and the cruelty they have to endure in the hands of hunters. It is a protest which works towards achieving a LAW AGAINST CRUELTY - and one so desperately needed in Spain.
The sad facts are that right now, what happens to a galgo, is not criminal... if we all work together to sign peticions and one voice becomes millions, we may just achieve a law to make these "CRIMES" with "Consequences to the offenders!"

The problems the galgos face in Spain are horrendous, from falling into the wrong hands and being treated like vermin, from as young as being born - to when they are no long needed and then killed in many a way.
Some left to street life, and to the hands of those who think they can take matters into their own hands. " galgos = vermin!" Eradicated as pests... what did they do so wrong, just be born noble serene, silent suffrers, born into the wrong hands. Fates decided at that early age, live or die!

To those of us who know the GALGO - they are the sweetest most kindest dogs and extremely noble. To raise a family with a galgo as the family pet is very rewarding, and they will love you forever more.

Please take a moment to look at the peticion and add your name to the fight against this cruelty. Upon doing so, pass it on to any friends and family members you have and encourage them to be a part of saying NO to GALGO CRUELTY! Any questions you may have, feel free to email me comdelrio@hotmail.com or 112carlotagalgos@gmail.com I will always respond and thankyou for your time!

As always I dedicate everything I write and have published to the galgo associations, to all the people who are helping in keeping the galgos warm by sending in coats, people offering homes, sponsorships, including Land of Lakes Montessori school in Florida who are sponsoring a Galgo as their mascot from www.ddevida.org & anyone who has donated in anyway, and of course above all the galgos themselves. Those who have made it out of hardship, and those still waiting, I pray we can get to them all!

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts, for reading this - and I thankyou for signing the PETA ALERT!

HELP A LITTLE PODENCA!

About 6 weeks ago, a couple from Gaianes, near Muro de Alcoy, spotted a Podenca tied to the wall and in terrible condition. A collar so tight - and very thin. The next day having thought about the little podenca, they went outside onto the patio and who is asleep on the chair, the same little podenca girl! Somehow she had managed to free herself fronm the hands of the person so cruel who had left her there. Probably like many, to die starving. She was in terrible condition, and what got their attention most was the gash across her neck. They nursed her, and fed her and left her to sleep, for days she slept.

She is sweet but a puppy so of course now she feels well with a full belly, she is lively. The couple is an elderly couple an dhave 2 dogs and 2 cats already, they cannot take her in as her forever home. They will foster her until a permanent home is found, and would like to make a plea for any help in the search for a home, forever.

If you can help, please contact me Carlota, 112carlotagalgos@gmail.com or davidlehardy@aol.com It would truly be fantastic if we could help another four legged friend find a loving home! Many thanks on their behalf.

Paseo Para Galgos/A Walk for Galgos

Estoy organizando un "Paseo para Galgos" en la zona de Málaga. ¡ Será en octubre aunque queda por confirmar fecha exacta y lugar!. Ambo y yo desearíamos ver allí a todos los galgos y sus familias adoptantes, y a cualquier persona u organización que trabaje para la ayuda a los galgos maltratados.Deseo verte allí!!

I am planning a "Galgo walk" for the area of Màlaga. It will be sometime in October, watch this space for dates, times and place! Ambo and I would love to see all Galgos and their Moms and Dads there, and anyone who represents the plight of the galgos welcome. See you there!!

This web is for you

This web is for you, to beable to use and find out information about the Spanish galgos. So feel free to browse, and email me, and come back again soon.
While you read this page, you will be listening to my Galgo song. I believe they are words that are sung in hope, from every person who has taken in a rescued Galgo and given them the 2nd chance of life. They are powerful words for me, and when I listen to the song, I feel strength to get up and keep fighting. May you hear the same words I hear, and feel welcome to join us in the fight to protect the Spanish Galgos.
It is so very true, a rescued dog chooses the owner, and not the other way around. The plight of the Galgos found me and since that day, I have not stopped writing about their pained lives. Their inner strength to please while being inflicted pain onto, their strength to survive while being starved, is amazing. They are without doubt the most sincere breed of dog, loyal to the end.
The Galgo has a troubled life here in Spain. From as young as 3 months, they are out "training" - they have been bred from a poor tired Mom, who has probably been over bred from on many occasion. From one litter - one baby will become a hunters dog! Where do the rest go?
Theft of the Galgos is high, they are stolen and mistreated. Hunters want a galgo to hunt, but they are not willing to care for him in any way at all.
So they are kept in hovels, holes in the ground, caves, derelict houses, and usually chained to the walls or ceiling. Chained to a life of sheer misery and hunger. Something for the hunter to take his frustrations out on, somone who cannot say anything, just wince at the beatings. On completion of hunting - Galgos are abandoned - some 50,000 or more. Many burnt alive - hung from trees as they call this "playing the piano" hours of torture - dumped in wells or left in derelict houses to starve to death, some a leathel injection of bleach.
What makes a person behave in such a barbaric way? Feeling good about the pain they are inflicting, laughing while they hang their galgo watching the confusion in his eyes, being rid of vermin "no good for nothing Galgo. "
Spain has to be made to have a law against hunting with Galgos, as this will only continue otherwise. I ask you, why it does not have a law already, why is there such a lack of respect for animal life in this country? I don't know the answers - but I know there has to be a law which everyone is working towards in order to make this stop. For me, I will never stop writing, I will look for publications and to get the word out as much as I can, and I will never tire. I only have to look in my baby Galgos eyes, and know I owe it to as many as possible to keep trying. Looking for help along the way from other caring people.
I thankyou for taking the time to read through my 112carlotagalgos site, designed I hope to offer information, and help to all Galgo supporters and lovers out there. Please feel free to contact me and ask me any questions you like, if I cannot answer them I will research it and get back to you, or put you in touch with someone who can.
May you the Galgos, rise back up into society and become a household pet, as you so deserve!
Carlota and Ambo, the Ambasadog for the Galgos!
