Spain - 58 podencos in a hellhole - publicity on Canal 9

Galgos 112 - '7 years already and unfortunately many are still the same, until when?? There are still many like this in Valencian orchards, no one hears them cry, no one finds out when they die...la Font d'en Carrós

Warning - upsetting video

Spain - 25 abandoned dogs die in Badajoz province!

From Galgos112

'This would quickly end with good control by rural and police officers and exemplary prison sentences.
But in this country we go back like crabs and abuse and murder comes out very cheap. This rabble are murderers!'

18 months' prison sentence...a farce...the judge was probably a hunter too!

Badajoz, Extramadura, is especially a hellhole for hunting dogs!

Another horrendous case of cruelty against podencos - this time a woman using the dogs for breeding! At least people are being arrested now, for animal cruelty, but penalties are pitifully poor.

The Podenco - abused by the hunters - be a voice to help the Podencos

From Bev Farmer. The Podenco .. an intelligent and sensitive breed here Spain yet so many are subjected to a harsh and miserable life. Lack of good food and veterinary care leaves then under nourished and weak. So they find themselves abandoned left to survive on the streets or handed in to a perrera where the chances of been adopted are low.

We have no actual stats to declare how many are abandoned every year but many believe it's in the region of 50,000.

One of the more difficult challenges is finding homes for them, these are a special breed that come with particular needs. But once you do have a podenco in your life, one will never be enough.

How can every one help? spread the word get the message out there ....be the voice for the great forgotten
