A not uncommon site in Spain – still living in the dark ages where animals are concerned. This particular ‘event’ is in Malaga – a dog show and sale of hunting dogs. If you feel strongly about it, please sign the petition.

Thank you to Catherine for the translation. This is what the petition is about; Once again we have a case of animal abuse. No, it’s not the slaughter of dogs in China, it’s in SPAIN, specifically a town in the province of Malaga, which has decided to have a ‘dog show’ this year where all the hunters can take their dogs for everyone to see.

This is the same town that boasts of putting up posters advising that dangerous dogs be muzzled and considers itself to be the most romantic town in Malaga province the most empathetic to animals which is the most disgusting claim. Hundreds of dogs in locked in cages or tied with chains that stop them even lying down (Is this not illegal?).

Dangerous dogs (though I do not think so) without a muzzle and some with cropped ears (illegal too?) And not only that but in one of the cages, instead of a dog is a goat.

Puppies who look sick. animals without a measly bucket of water … a disgusting smell and all that protects them from the sun is a sad awning. Please let everyone know about this, and we’ll tell them what we think about the municipality of Villanueva de la Concepción, the most hypocritical people of Malaga. PLEASE VOTE!

The French too have similar ‘dog shows’ – Foire des Chiens – usually in the hot summer. Dogs in pens, dogs in cages, puppies in cages, dogs and puppies for sale….Not quite as bad as Spain, but bad enough.
