Tenerife – What the tourists don’t see – the true Tenerife
And the podencos on Tenerife, Canary Islands, continue to suffer. Below is a Spanish dictionary translation of this newspaper article published on 7th March 2017.
The difficult relationship between hunters and animal rights lived this weekend a new episode, this time in the District of Valleseco. Several members of the first group have denounced in the national police that some unknown, supposed defenders of animals, on Saturday broke the padlock of a few kennels located at the entrance of the neighborhood – in a Court of the mountain – and released several hunting dogs, which could not be recovered by their owners until Sunday noon.

What the tourists don’t see – the true Tenerife
Bit behind with posts as strong winds took out our telephone line and France Telecom are useless to get them to come out and repair!
Please vote Si in this survey if you think ALL hunting in Spain should be banned. Worrying is that the No voters are in large numbers too!
This is a link to a video on facebook showing appalling conditions in which podencos are chained and kept in one place on Tenerife. I have asked the contact if the dogs have been rescued and he tells me ‘the authorities think there’s no problem with these dogs…these dogs are ( the Spanish believe) are in good shape:: it’s clean, they don’t have wounds, and they are fed… BUT … hell nooooo !!!!’

Help us to close Olivenza, Extremadura – Spain’s worst perrera (kill pound) – sign the petition!
When I published my definitive guide to the plight of the galgo – From Heaven to Hell – in 2010 it contained a report from a volunteer named Rosa on the problems with one of the reputedly worst privately owner perreras in Spain, Olivenza. For years animal activists/association have been fighting to get it closed down permanently. I have now received this appeal from Mo Swatek of Pro-galgo International, please sign and share the petition.

Please sign and share – justice for Pelucha
Please sign and share this petition widely. The sub-human creature who perpetrated this murder must be caught and brought to justice. Here is the English translation.
We ask through our signatures that you please investigate the murder of Pelucha in Villanueva de Alcardete, disappeared on 4 February and found the 6th in the vineyard of its owner, fully calcined. (calcined – dictionary definition suggests burned)
As an animal and not having suspects, SEPRONA decided that a little more could be done. This is intolerable, cannot go unpunished the one who is able to murder in cold blood to a living being and we will not stop until Seprona open an investigation on the case looking for the culprit (or guilty) of such atrocious act and fall on him the full weight of the law
