Further to the post about dead dogs in Spain being used in animal feed, here are a couple of videos asking if you know what is in your pet food.

Anyone room for these podencos – help save them
Adaana have been asked to take thes two podencos but they don’t have room. Can anyone else help?
Two photos of other podencos in need, which we would like to help, but for whom we’ve got no place in this moment. I send you their photos just in case with promotion they achieve to get a definitive family, a foster home, or godparents.
The brown and white one is a female who is going to eat to a private property which has no fence. The place is in a dangerous area because it has highways and roads very near. She’s got a big wound in one of her back legs but it doesn’t look very infected and bones seem to be ok (she walks placing it down correctly).

The Pride of Seville! Accommodation, rooms to let,
Mairena killing station exposed yet again. When will the authorities act?
IN SEVILLE
Denounce the plight of the facilities of the Protector of Mairena del Alajarafe
Members of the Humane Society and Plant Mairena del Alcor denounce the plight in which the animals are found and request that a general meeting be convened to appoint a new policy. Overcrowded and deplorable sanitary conditions in addition to lack of staff to care for them, dogs are the main complaints made by some members who have reached record images that may offend the sensibilities of anyone.13/01/2014 News CanalSur Tuenti Meneame

Cheap accommodation in Malaga
Podencos abound in Malaga province and now the hunters are getting rid. There are 16 in Malaga perrera this week, all young ones.
And I am told some of the ‘rescuers’ have created problems in the Valencia perrera – some of the podencos we donated to rescue last year are still in kennels till permission is given for them to be adopted.
These are some of the podencos in Malaga perrera this week. Pray for them.

ACTIN on Perreras – making money out of killing dogs
Viv Wharton of ACTIN recently learned of a case where a pet dog was taken by the dog collector and ended up in the local perrera. Luckily the owners headed there as soon as they realised their dog was missing, and reclsimed it. What if this is happening in thousands of Perreras in Spain?
Viv writes. ‘There is a recession, little money for anyone, let alone Perreras and animals are the bottom of Spain’s list of priorities!! The council run ones get paid for every dog brought in and now many volunteers pay to get them out.

Podenca Jasira in Murcia – lucky to be alive
Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends tells the story of JASIRA
‘I see so many Podencos in so many terrible situations. I see them by the roadside badly injured, having been hit by a car and left to die. I see them wandering the countryside, emaciated and very often with broken limbs. I see them with their spirits all but destroyed from having been incarcerated in a perrera.
After this amount of exposure to such horrific sights, it’s hard not to begin to accept this as the norm here in Spain. Most of our rescued podencos require a lot of care to bring them back to good health, both physically and mentally.
But now I have seen something which shook even me to the core. I have seen some terrible sights but this has to be one of the worst.

Happy New Year to you all
I wish all of you a healthy and happy 2014 and may the best of the past year be the worst of 2014. Today I am having a shoulder operation to repair damaged tendons so my typing activity will be curtailed for a few weeks. Please continue supporting the appeals and associations already posted. I will post more news as and when I can – one-handed! Difficult when I’m a speed touch typist!
