Maybe you read the news on the Scooby blog or maybe you don´t, but the histories about the trips Scooby makes to save galgos is every time a different one, it´s not that we repeat the same rescues every time. Therefore I put them here again and it's from January until 23 February, so the rescues from December and before are not included:
In January and February we saved at least some 35 Galgos from the perrera municipal and provincial from Valladolid.
And many, many galgos were taken into the shelter directly from their galgueros or saved from the streets...
So in these 2 months Scooby saved at least 400 Galgos and Podencos and we are so sorry for the ones who don´t make it to safety...
The madness doesn´t stop, it looks like it´s getting worse and worse...
Comment - I believe the situation is not so much getting worse as that the galgueros and cazadores now know how much bad press there is against them and their 'sport'; that associations will make more denuncias about maltreatment of dogs, and that one or two associations will pursue through the Judicial system a hunter who hangs his dog. So there are fewer hangings, dumping dogs down wells etc. resulting in more and more being abandoned and dumped in perreras.
Scooby are wonderful, rescuing 400 dogs in two months is amazing. The sooner regulations are put in place to limit breeding and ownership of hunting dogs the better.
