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.

Malaga – Podenca Ana seeks your help
Do you remember the story of Ana, the podenca near Valencia, with a badly injured hind leg and who was so distrustful of humans that it took nearly 3 months to catch her. During that time she had some pups – who are in foster – and is now safe with 112carlotagalgos.
Ana’s problems were not over after she was caught. Vet Paco examined her injured leg and pronounced it too damaged to repair, then she caught an infection, and now she has had to have surgery to remove her leg. But not to worry, 3-legged amputees can run as fast as 4-legged if they want to! Charl tells Ana’s story so far.

Holidays in Canary Islands? SARA Lanzarote needs your help
SARA Lanzarote (Canary Islands) have sent this story about this podenca bitch, yet another of life’s victims discarded by the hunters. Podencos are used on the Spanish islands for hunting rabbit, and suffer horrendous cruelty at the hands of the hunters, just like the galgos and podencos on mainland Spain. The only hope for the deserving dogs in the shelters on Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Ibiza, is to be adopted on the European mainland. Please bear them in mind when considering offering a forever home to a dog. Otherwise these dogs will spend their lives in the shelters.
SARA tells Mestiza’s story.

Dog Walking in Spain – Spanish law explained
A question was posed to me with regard to walking and exercising galgos in Spain. A reader was stopped by a hunter and told she was breaking the law by letting her two galgos run free, even though their recall was very good. So I put the question to someone I knew had experienced a similar problem. Andrew Hurrell was a founder of Noahs Arc association in Mazarron, and he explains the situation and Spanish law. You can read the full article here.

URGENT- young podencas on death row, Rioja, Logorno, 21 Jan is ‘die day’.
This appeal was sent out today (20.1.2012). I am not sure if the dogs have had a reprieve, I think they may be killed tomorrow 21/1, rather than 19/1. So I’m sending out the appeal for help for them. A Kennel or foster home urgently needed so they can be got out. We’re talking about Rioja and Logrono immediately.
Dora is a small young podenca, nervous, hasn’t known affection. When she advances, she is very sweet, just needs a loving home to be a star.
Moka (below) is another young female podenca. She is skinny, her eyes are fearful, she doesn’t trust. And yet, if she could be rescued now, she will bloom, put on weight and her coat will shine. She will show the joy of life she deserves.
If anyone can take them now, contact ar.difusionperrera@gmail.com

Podenca Ana, from Valencia to Malaga – saved from the hunters
You may remember an appeal for someone to make room in a refuge of home for an injured podenca who had been living rough since October. I’m happy to report that she has now been saved. The podenca has been named Ana, after the village where she had been living. She has been taken in by 112carlotagalgos, travelling by their pet transport company from Ana, Valencia, down to Malaga. Here’s her story.
