SOS Galgos seeks help from Europe in ending the plight of Spanish galgos
On 9th June SOS Galgos attended the first international demonstration in defence of Spanish galgos in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The protest condemned the cruelty suffered by galgos at the end of the hunting season. The demonstration was supported by Euro MP, Michèle Striffler. Protests echoing these demands took place in Madrid and Barcelona the following day. (Anna Clements & Jerome Guillot)
This is an urgent appeal for someone to take in this beautiful young podenca. She is in Anna, near Xativa in the Province of Valencia. This is the story from the lady who wants to save her.
‘I have been feeding her since October. I live in Anna which is about 20 minutes from Xativa. I have contacted PEPA and she is on their website but they have nowhere for her to go. I have also contacted SOS Galgos. No one seems able to help.
She has a problem with her leg and she will need an operation which I would be happy to pay for. I do not want to remove her until I have somewhere for her to go.
