Two stories in the news recently about podencos, both the victims of unbelievable cruelty. If you wish to see the pictures, then click on 'Continue reading'.
This is the first time I've had a story about a podenca dumped in a trash bin, always before it has been galgos who have suffered such an atrocity.
Someone had stabbed her and destroyed her neck to remove the microchip. After she was thrown in the trash. she remained there for two days without help. She somehow ate garbage to stay alive. Her neck had been torn to remove the microchip. Luckily someone realised she was there and called the police and saved her.
She is now in Madrid in a veterinary hospital, where they are trying to save her. Her neck has been operated on, and they are working to save her. She has been named Vida.
The volunteer says, 'I curse with all my strength these monsters, torturers, no guts, no heart, that they are capable of doing these savage actions. This poor dog has had to suffer a horrible agony. We will fight tooth and nail to save her! [email protected]
The second story is about a podenco found very close to death in the campo. She was rescued and attempts were made to save her - you will see in the photo she was too weak to stand, was a mere skeleton, and had severe leishmania. Appeals were made on Facebook for donations to save here. Personally, I believe it would have been kinder to put her to sleep, rather than try and revive her and put her through more suffering. Queen did not survive.
BEWARE, UPSETTING IMAGES
The first photo is of Vida, the second of Queen.
aww its a bleeding shame for these poor babies there is just no need for this sort of evil act
