  • La Palma podencos update

    La Palma dog 5 400
    In this link, the report is that the Local Poll.ice say the dogs are in good condition, it is in the area of Maldona on La Palma. However, because of the photos circulated by Aanipal on Social Media, the Mayor of Santa Cruze was forced to take action, the owner of the dogs gave temporary access and there is a lawyer appointed to mediate between Aanipal and the owner. (Apparently there are other caves on the Island where dogs are incarcerated in these conditions!)

    5 podencos were rescued from the mountain prison. One has severe dermatitis skin problems and Aanipal are appealing for donations of salmon to feed her and other dogs suffering the same problem. I have asked for a contact for where to send it, as they are only on facebook. Here are the latest photos below of the 5 podencos enjoying the sunshine, plus pups with one of the bitches!

    Here’s what Aanipal say.

    ‘We need some salmon for her. She’s the skinny one who came and also has skin dermatitis.

    It is not the only animal we have in the shelter which needs this kind of feed for its skin, which we are spending quickly. If anyone can get us some bags, we appreciate it from heart

    We would like to make the following clarifications:

    After the television program A Face of Dog of the Four, one of the activists that made it possible, has narrated its desperation and how they have obtained that the channel Four, went to the Canary Islands to record the program. This video expresses the despair that animalists fight for the rights of animals in the Canary Islands and how they have to face the abusers, the town councils, the politicians and how they do nothing, not respecting their rights. obligations. Report after complaint, you see how it is impossible to avoid animal suffering.

    Here is a google translation of the update on the rescue from the Aanipal Association facebook page.

    ‘We do not want to leave anyone in the inkwell who took part in this.

    To the mayor of Santa Cruz de La Palma Sergio Matos for mobilizing to this situation and seeking legal advice, to counsel Sandra Barrero for advising and mediating between the two parties, to the complainants of this problem, to all the people who have echoed Of this case (we have received messages of support from Los Angeles, France, etc. ), the police who accepted the order of the mayor and the holder who signed the temporary assignment of the animals.

    All of this has been a job for many, and at the end we have managed to improve the conditions of these animals. Granite to granite will make a mountain walking together for animal welfare’

  • Accommodation in La Palma, Canary Islands

    Las Palmas 6 400
    Las Palma, Canary Islands. What the holidaymakers don’t see – the cruelty the podencos suffer! This is a Google translation of the story…despite complaints for years, Seprona do nothing!

    ‘What I can tell you at this moment is that the seprona is in the knowledge of this case, is reported and has also been reported several times.. There is even one person who has complained twice. But from what I see sadly, it is not a priority. To keep spreading all of it is to put pressure on and I will not stand idly by.

    I don’t know how much I can do for you angels without a voice.. at the moment I want to make noise so that you can reach other horizons, to other eyes that maybe they didn’t know and that you don’t stay in oblivion. Who knows me knows the “bugs” that will have come out of my mouth, the helplessness and of course the pain of seeing you like this.. because when it comes to animals, regardless of their species I honestly curse those responsible…this kind of “shit with legs”, disgusting beings who keep in poor condition these living creatures!!

  • VERY URGENT APPEAL for podencos in Seville

    Seville podencos appeal 400 12 3 2018
    This is the message sent by a Spanish lady, Ana:

    “AN URGENT CASE OF COMPASSION, please I need help !!!. My neighbor has colon cancer and is always admitted to hospital. He is a widower, he has 6 Andalusian podencos plus 2, this man eats in a social dining room, he does not even have to think and he gives the dogs hard bread. When he is hospitalized for a few days, he asks for voluntary discharge because his dogs are alone and nobody goes to see them or anything. When he arrives the house is destroyed, all full of excrement and an unbearable, convalescent smell. He cleans as he can, he does not even have a bed because his dogs in his absence have destroyed it, well he would need adoptions. Seville capital. If any protector took over, it would be the best”.

    The dogs are all young, vaccinated and wormed but not neutered.
