Many years ago I posted a story about Vidal, a podenco chained through the mouth to a wall in a derelict building and left to die. Luckily he was discovered, rescued, and found a forever home. He is the featured podenco on my Help the Podencos facebook page.
Here is the story of 3 podencos this week found in a similar state.
‘On 1st November) animal rights activists were called to an empty old pool by the police. There, there was a sight of horror. 3 podencos were left there. As if it wasn’t bad enough, they three iron and tied to their head so they couldn’t take food or water. They were literally taken to “die” there. On the walls are marks to see where they tried to escape. They didn’t have a chance without help. There is despair in their eyes, they had already given up hope. And worse, the nights are very cold now. We are stunned, speechless, sad and angry. The Podencos need support now.’https://www.facebook.com/groups/171121343593436/
