Grand protest in Spain .. THIS Friday 25th March .. join a march near you.

On www.noalmaltratoanimal.org you can read or see about a big manifestation through the whole of Spain on 25th March against the mistreating of animals & longer sentences for those who are guilty of this.

There is a comprehensive list of all cities & towns in which a march is organised, time & place to meet.

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS FAR & WIDE THROUGHOUT SPAIN, GET THE POPULATION MOTIVATED.

So many Spanish people are concerned about the bad press in the rest of the world about bull fighting, abandoned dogs & cats, horse wrestling, animals in fiestas, donkey stoning .........................

I will delete ANY comments that disagree with the above, TAKE NOTE!

I agree the level of mistreatment is high in Spain, we can all see that from fighting cocks, to constant dog barking, to bull runs down steep cobbled steets. And I support the marches, but I think it comes to down to education, and only education. I was told that it was told by a Valenciano that animals do not have souls so there is not an issue if one dies or is in pain. I also have watched children with small animals and they are not taught how to respect the health and well being of the animal, probably because their parents dont know. Education is the only way. Even the vet told me, the Spanish dont like to get thier animals castrated because if everyone did it there would be no more animals!

Janice, a friend of Tina's. Tina & Gaynor, with their team of wonderful volunteers, run the Galgos Del Sol refuge in Murcia, Costa Blanca
If YOU can help by taking a galgo/podenco please email Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com or ring her mobile 693 100 712 Galgos del Sol is dedicated to every galgo espanol; those who made it and sadly those who didn't. Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK and other parts of Europe. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Gaynor, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and in the UK. Galgos del Sol es una pequeña protectora con sede en Murcia, España, que rescata galgos abandonados y heridos (galgos españoles de caza) y los rehabilita y les encuentra hogares para siempre en el Reino Unido y otras partes de Europa. Miles de galgos son abandonados o asesinados cada año al final de cada temporada de caza y como en España normalmente no los consideran mascotas por lo general terminan en perreras, donde acaban con su vida y a menudo en formas que no consideraríamos muy humanas. Galgos del Sol depende totalmente de donaciones para su supervivencia y está gestionado por dos mujeres muy involucradas, Tina y Gaynor, con la asistencia de un grupo de voluntarios con sede en España, Francia y en el Reino Unido.
