Seprona on the war path in Cadiz – hindering, not helping!
Happy Ending Final-Feliz in Chiclana, Cadiz, have had their problems in the past, with authorities being awkward! All the charity want to do is help the abandoned dogs in the area, get them off the streets, look after them, rehome them. Something the authorities should do.
Now, on 18th February, there’s this news from the association. And it’s not the first time I received a report of Seprona putting pressure on the people doing their job!
‘PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! WE NEEDYOUR HELP! It has been an eventful week down at the kennels. We have had a visit from Seprona (Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza – OR – Nature Protection Services). They have informed us that, unknown to us we are not complying with certain regulations laid down by the authorities.

Malaga – walking the streets in Protest!
Traffic in Malaga was today brought to a standstill when animal lovers in Andalucia took to the streets to protest about animal cruelty in Spain and in particular the plight of the galgos at the hands of the hunters. It’s at this time of year that the galgueros get rid of their dogs – upwards of 50,000 every year. The protestors wore black, many of the dogs wore black collars and scarves. Well done, everyone.

Podenca Andaluz Tamy – in cheap hotel accommodation in Spain
Poor dogs. They try their best for their masters – and mistresses – and are rewarded by being dumped – anywhere – busy roads, down wells, on the campo with broken legs, in the killing stations. Killing stations – barking dogs, stressed dogs, some of the worst perreras don’t believe in feeding dogs to be killed, water is green – I’ve the reports and photos on my weblogs. Read about Tamy, on death row Badajoz perrera.
