9th April 2014 – Spain today, a place where animals are tortured and abused.
This is Badol. He is a podenco puppy who appeared on the street of a small village in Andalucía. The vet thinks he was used for sparring with pittbulls as he has bites on him, and then was burnt. Escaped or dumped, no one knows, but he wandered the streets in this condition for a few days before he was rescued. Nuria Martín Barcos has the shelter La Guarida in Córdoba. She always does a great job. She is an exceptional person. She has more than 200 dogs. Badol, the puppy, is now at the hospital, under the care of the protective Puente Genil.
Since receiving the above, the update is that Badol has been treated at the vet hospital and is improving, as you can see by the photos below. He’s visited every day. He’s even going out for a walk, although the girls say he is, understandably, still very frightened.
I can’t imagine how anyone could walk passed a dog on the street, in this condition and obviously in pain!
Update 15/4/2014. A complaint is being prepared to send to Seprona which I will post separately. In the meantime, Paypal to donate to vet fees. juncalin@gmail.com

there is only a hand full of people that care unfortunately not enough but this little one was lucky to be rescued by the person that spotted him in time was a kind caring animal orientated person thankfully i do hope he continues to keep mending bless all the fighting dogs need to be taken off these people and never to be allowed animals ever again the law needs to act on this how many more poor souls have been victims and have not been so lucky its sickning to think
May the arseholes who inflicted such pain and cruelty on this dog rot in hell. When I read about these dogs used as ‘bait’, I think it is one of the most terrible things to happen to an animal. These people are no more than low life scum. Poor puppy, wishing him a speedy recovery and a loving home where he will never be hurt or terrified again. No, I cannot understand either why so many people are OK with themselves, walking on by and not caring about a dog so obviously frightened and in pain. A really sad state of affairs. Thank you Nuria for rescuing him.
