200 Dogs Found in Awful Situation in Sevilla, Spain

From the rescuers of Scooby in Medina Del Campo, Spain:

We have heard of another tragedy and we are on our way to finding a solution. This time it was in a town of Sevilla, at El Cuervo, a nice town where a man called Antonio has dedicated to rescue dogs, especially Galgos, Podencos, and some mixed breeds. We calculate that there were there almost 200 dogs, all together, males, females, big, small, for which the situation is absolutely untenable. The inspection organizations had given this man till November 10th to arrange this situation. We received a call from Sandra, a person living there and we began to move.

We first went there to see the situation and what we saw there was an absolute tragedy. Lots of dogs all together, some of them in awful conditions, too skinny with terrible skin problems, full of fleas, pregnant bitches about to give birth, dogs with recent wounds and some with scares from old fights. When we went to the back part of the house, the situation was worst. In an olive area, Antonio had about 30 tied up dogs, with very short chains, and most of them famished, dog bones everywhere and for what we saw we could say that this had been going on for some years now. Even Antonio told us that some days ago a Galga had given birth and that the others had eaten the puppies and then the poor mother, we even saw a dead dog in the patio.

Seeing this situation, we decided to do something, and next day we went back with the van to pick up some dogs. We have already made 2 trips, in the first one we picked up those who were in the worst physical condition, the thinnest ones, the bitches about to give birth, and in the second trip we picked up the more traumatized and some even so scared that they have bitten poor Maria in that part that women have more bulky, thank God it was only a scratch. We loaded the dogs and began our trip back home. We had to stop so that Maria could change her clothes, because she has a serious problem with fleas, so every time, after each trip, she is full of pimples. Well, unfortunately I found an abandoned Galga and I couldn't pick her up.

Again we found ourselves with a big problem that we have to solve with your help. We need you again, we need your help to help them, who are the ones who really need it. We need economic aid, organizations who want to receive these animals, vets to sterilize them and prepare them for their new homes. We need homes for them, and volunteers because these dogs need a special treatment, that is to say, we need all of you, they will thank you. Help us save them to be able to save more.

Thank you, they count on you.

The farm with the 200 dogs with no owner

The Seprona (environmental police) finds in a Sevilla property 200 hundred neglected dogs * They had never been to the veterinary * The Guardia Civil is looking for a home or a shelter for the animals
Esther S. Sieteiglesias

Madrid- It is not the first time that a elder person accumulates a big number of animals in non desired conditions. This is not a case of direct mistreatment, for the owner of the property considers himself as a dog lover, but the truth is that the dogs were found in, as said by the people who went there, it deplorable conditions.

It happened in Sevilla. For Antonio things went out of control. He never imagined he would have so many animals nor that he wouldn't be able to feed them, and this is because feeding so many animals, even when you have the land, is more expensive than what you receive as for your pension.

A veterinary of the Agrarian Regional Office (ARO) went to visit him, for he didn't have the place prepared to have such a large number of dogs. Since then, Antonio, the Seprona and ARO have tried to find a solution.

At least 100 have been euthanized.

They first decided to take him at least 100 animals, and as there were no pounds nor shelters, they were going to be euthanized today, November 10th 2007. Through the e-mails the story was spread out. People from El Cuervo, where the property is, raised the alarm, for they didn't want the animals to die. Antonio told me what was going on and I quickly began to send e-mails to all the shelters and organizations I know says Sandra Bellido, and adds �no matter how much Antonio loves them, he has bitches with males, none of them are castrated, and some have even cancer.

The thing is that Sandra e-mails have had effect. The Scooby shelter, from Medina del Campo (Valladolid), was the first to turn up. Its president, Ferma�n Perez has already taken 60 Galgos and will possibly go this weekend with his van to look for another 30. �When Antonio was told, he threatened to commit suicide if they took his dogs away from him, says Ferma�n. �The property is pretty clean and is pretty big, but the truth is that they have never gone to the vet.

�We have all agreed, and the date for the sacrifice has been postponed, says Sandra. "I now give the Scooby telephone number, so that if someone wants to help or adopt a dog, he does it directly through the shelter. Plus, it seems that the owner and Ferma�n get along well, if people start to come, it would be very tough for Antonio.

The Scooby Association, created 20 years ago to rescue stray dogs and cats, is taking care of the expenses: transport, veterinary, sterilization and microchip, plus the daily maintenance. The organization is prepared for this type of rescue and the shelter is set up. They hope to find them a home soon, and they will probably go to look for more dogs. �I have counted more than 150, but there are isolated hovels, says Ferma�n.

Life at Scooby - YouTube Video

The Scooby animal shelter is Spain's largest galgo refuge. Dedicated to helping all animals in Spain, Scooby does incredible work and is a true voice for animal welfare. The following is a You Tube video montage of photograhs taken by Linda Brown who recently visited Scooby. Her photos are very moving and tell a true tale of both suffering and salvation.

Galgo Hell - Paterna de Rivera (Cadiz)

This past July 20th, 2007, three volunteers from Kimba went to the town of Paterna de Rivera to look for reasons as to the huge abandonment of galgos, podencos, and in general, dogs used for hunting, that exists every year in this town. The town is a living hell for these poor animals, as you can see in the pictures and videos that Kimba took on these couple of days that we visited this very modern and "European" town.

The volunteers went with intentions of rescuing some of the animals, finding them families, giving them a dignified life, and in this manner directly contributing to the safety of the animals who live so poorly in the streets and in the fields of Paterna de Rivera.

The first thing to be witnessed was how some totally insensitive dimwit, with so little regard for the lives of animals, had thrown two little dogs into a river of fecal water, in a malicious way with the intention of killing them. One of them had the good luck of landing on some branches, and was able to get out of the river. But the other little dog, who we named "MANDY" remained completely paralyzed, as you can see in the picture and in the video of the rescue.

Videos of MANDY'S rescue

{youtube}5c2bpPW8_i8{/youtube}

{youtube}Vk7PzHFpcE4{/youtube}

{youtube}ULBcbllzN6c{/youtube}

After rescuing the little dog, they conducted a search to see if there were other dogs that had been thrown into the river by that imbecile.

They found two galgos and a podenco in a man-made shack on the side of a mountain, and all of them in terribly lamentable conditions, without food or water, living among excrements, tied with chains to the ceiling, and all of them infested with fleas and ticks. And across from them was a family, in swim suits, skinning a calf who was hanging by its neck from a tree, and all of this with small children present.

We are certain that other people in that town have witnessed, just as we did, the situation with the animals, who are surrounded by excrements and lament, as you can see in the pictures and the videos that are sending to you.

{youtube}Hr8OkYJk3Vc{/youtube}

That same day we saw many abandoned galgos in and around the town, among them a beautiful pregnant little galgo, on the verge of giving birth to her puppies (you can see her in the picutures that we're sending).

As bad luck would have it, we were unable to catch her that day. Bad luck because when we returned two days later, we found that poor galgo as you can see, on one of the streets in town, where cars cannot travel at a very high speed. The poor dog had difficulty moving due to her pregnancy, and so the dimwit who ran over her, did it in broad daylight, and when we arrived, it had just happened. Truly a crime, that an animal had only lived only to serve a galguero, and once used, she was discarded as if she were an inanimate object.

A true disgrace of a town, one that on other occasions we have seen galgueros on motor scooters with a few galgos tied to the cycle and running alongside on the sidewalks or in the streets. We even saw once a galguero on a motor scooter with four galgos tied to it and running along side on the highway. They were passed by a police car, and the police did absolutely nothing.

The only beauty and happiness that we took from Paterna de Rivera are the long-suffering galgos and podenco from that hiding place, along with the little dogs who had been thrown into the river. Thanks to the great help from the Seprona (division of the Guardia Civil for the conservancy of nature), we were
able to remove them all from that disgusting location where those despicable galgueros had them locked up.

...And so now they are all happy at Kimba. They have had their anti parasite treatment, they've had food and water to their hearts' content, and all of the necessary requirements have been fulfilled for their adoptions.

Shelter Aid to the Rescue!

On September 7, 2007 the Galgo Rescue International Network is going to embark on its largest relief effort to date. G.R.I.N. members Charles and Jane Totten of Olympia, Washington will be travelling to Madrid loaded with medical supplies and coats for seven of the Spanish shelters.

The shelters, Scooby, Recal Extremadura, DDEVIDA, Refugio Kimba, Galgos Sin Fronteras, Pro-Galgo, and Amigos de Los Galgos, will each receive a package containing a wealth of medical supplies (courtesy of Shelter Aid, National Greyhound Adoption Program, and various donors), 30+ coats each (made with love by Telma Shaw and the coatmakers), dozens of collars and leashes, and a 4 X 10 foot banner for public education courtesy of Bob Smith of Homestretch Greys and G.R.I.N.

After spending some time in Madrid and posting the packages to their final destinations, the Tottens will visit Scooby and will return to Denver, Colorado with 11 galgos and podencos and one very special mix dog. The dogs are bound for homes throughout the United States, including Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Washington, South Carolina, and Colorado.

A very special thanks goes out to Scooby for rescuing, caring for and helping us rehome these 12 special dogs; The Tottens for their incredible generosity, dedication and time; National Greyhound Adoption Program (NGAP), Pat Sohl, and all of our donors for sending us such a wealth of medical supplies to share with the shelters; Telma Shaw and all of her dedicated coatmakers; Bob Smith of Homestretch Greys (who made the mistake of asking "Could you guys use a banner?"); all of our donors, supporters and adopters for making this happen; and most of all, a huge debt of gratitude to all of our Spanish friends serving the animals of Spain day in and day out. Don't forget to check back at the end of September to see how this mission turns out!

Calling All Animal Lovers!

It is with pensive and concerned mood that I write this. I would like to take the opportunity to reach into your heart and to ask you to think about the following words.

I have come across horrendous acts of cruelty in this country I call home. Because of what I have seen, I believe the galgo (greyhound) suffers more than any other animal. The noble, sweet reliable friend, the only canine to be mentioned in the Bible.

I ask myself: What is wrong with these people who abuse, cause pain, and contemplate how to inflict this torture? The answer to ending this ongoing slaughter and sadism is in education. Teach the children about the love they can feel from an animal; teach them to respect ALL living beings.

In most cases the "anger" that turns into physical abuse perpetrated against an animal who has devoted his life to this human, can be channeled another way. These people are also more likely to afflict pain in the home. Do they feel good afterwards? I dont know. Could they learn to talk about why they feel the way they do? Have they witnessed something similar during their own childhood?

Is it anger, or is it a lack of respect for life? There are so many questions still unanswered. Punishments MUST be tougher, examples made of the sadists who perpetrate the crimes.

For just one moment, close your eyes. Picture the horror and pain a poor galgo feels when hung from a tree for hours, waiting in agony until death takes hold. What did they do to deserve this? The bears in zoos, the helpless animals worldwide obliged to perform for man's greed? I wonder who we are at times?
So.. with these thoughts, I ask you to act because the animals cannot. Please look within yourself and help us affect change for these poor souls. Your name on protest petitions count. Be one of the brave who says NO to abusing animals. Stand together as we UNITE in saying NO to the abuse and exploitation of animals! I call each and every one of you, those who can offer funds to help fight their causes, those who sew rugs to keep them warm, those who sign petitions against abuse, those who pass the word on. Those never scared to save an animal.

So when you see a car, trailering what looks like a box, look closer and pity the galgo hidden inside it, trembling and afraid, its fate written on a tree somewhere.

SAY NO TO ABUSE! BE COUNTED!

We must respect all of the God's creatures. They are here to be our companions, not to provide entertainment through sadistic torture. They have the same ability to feel, be afraid, to love and be dedicated, as we, the human animal, does.

The great leader, Mohandas Ghandi wisely stated: �The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated - work to be the best nation in the world, to be proud to work among fellow animal lovers who protect and honor defenseless animals

It is with these thoughts I leave you. Please don't turn away, they need us all.

Written by Carlota del Rio

Carlota is originally from England and now is a Spanish citizen. She recently got involved with galgo rescue when she became aware of the atrocities being committed in her country. She is a good friend to the animals of Spain, and a friend of G.R.I.N. The picture here is of Ambo, a little galgo pup Carlota just adopted from DDEVIDA.

Rescue in Utrera

While recently visiting Utrera (Sevilla), Spain, G.R.I.N. member and galgo dad Gary Lopez became aware of a dreadful situation. Four galgos were being kept in deplorable conditions in a trashed apartment flat. Gary reported his findings to Defensa de los Derechos de la Vida Animal (DDEVIDA). Rescuers from DDEVIDA were able to save three of the four galgos.

Below is the account of the rescue by DDEVIDA rescuer Encarni:

On Sunday, the first of July, we were with Gary and his family taking photographs of the house and the animals from the roofs and terraces of neighboring homes. The next day we went directly to the City hall to talk with the individual in charge of the case but for various reasons we were sent away and asked to return on Wednesday. That same day we returned to the abandoned house with a bucket and rope to lower food and water to the animals from the roof of the adjacent building, from the same location where we had taken the pictures, but the neighbors did not want to let us do this because the owner of the animals is a known delinquent and they were afraid he would retaliate against them if he were to learn that they were helping the animals. This complicated things because we couldn't even see or feed the animals while we were trying to find a way to rescue them.

When we returned on Wednesday to city hall they once again turned us away and our group decided to present a complaint with the photographs we had taken so that the condition of the animals could be seen, we needed to act fast before it would be too late because we knew that one of the dogs was in particularly bad shape and needed veterinary attention. On Thursday the police contacted us and informed us that they were looking for the alleged owner of the animals but they were unable to find him. It is not normal here for the police to get involved in animal abuse cases, and in this case we have to commend the police for acting appropriately. A few hours later they had found the individual that was keeping the animals caged up, he was a young man who has had legal problems in the past and once he realized that we had filed a complaint, he quickly turned over the animals. Accompanied by the police, he went to the house and the police attempted to enter the premises but the smell and the filth were so overwhelming that they waited outside for him to bring out the animals.

There were only three, the one in the worst conditions was mising. When the police asked about the fourth dog the individual said that he had given it away. We believe that the animal probably was killed, died or that he had gotten rid of it in another terrible way. No galguero wants an animal in such poor conditions because for them these dogs are like tools and in such poor condition the dog would've been useless to any galguero.

When the police called us to inform us that they were removing the animals, we asked them to demand that the individual who had the dogs in such poor conditions sign a legal form where he would state he was turning the animals legally over to Ddevida. In addition we requested that the form demand that he promise to never bring any more animals to the premises. He agreed.

This is the story of how we were able to save three of the four animals that were in the abandoned house. Despite the fact that over the past few days we have been investigating to locate the missing animal we have been unsuccesful, which is the sad part of the story. On the other hand, the animals were not identified so we have no way of knowing if they were stolen or not. We are currently doing all we can to help these animals forget the terrible place where they were living and we will seek good families to take them into their homes where they will become part of their families for the rest of their lives. We believe we will be able to do so. Unfortunately the galgo that was worst off was missing when they removed the dogs from the property.

A Mom and Her Two Boys

By Telma Shaw, G.R.I.N. Board of Directors

Three Galgos, Ramona and her two sons, Amistad and Ramone, were left locked in a warehouse with no food or water, left to die a slow death together. Rescuers at Scooby Medina Shelter in Medina del Campo Spain somehow heard about them and took action just in time. It was reported that Amistad was so weak he could not walk for the first three days at Scooby.

Before their rescue, Ramona had been living near a gypsy camp. They kept her there by barely feeding her. Every year her litter was taken from her. This year the rescuers did not find her most recent litter but her pups from the previous litter, Amistad and Ramone were miraculously still with her.

Ramona had a fractured leg that had been left to heal by itself and was covered with ticks. The boys had a close bond with her. At Scooby Amistad showed signs of frightened submission, rolling over and urinating himself when anyone approached. But the good volunteers at Scooby took time to slowly show him affection and his confidence began to change. Amistad was the last one chosen to come to the U.S. because he was the one who would hide in the back of the paddock with what was described by a volunteer as the 'saddest eyes" she said she had ever seen. It was his break for a new life!

Amistad was brought to the U.S. and is now living the good life in California, where he is now an outgoing and lovable Galgo to all. The story continues as Amistad's new adoptive mom in the U.S. thought constantly about his brother Ramone still at Scooby. Emails went back and forth and it was decided to bring him with the next group GRIN was planning to rescue. Five months later Ramone landed in Denver. He was to stay with his brother in California until a good home was found but only one day after landing in Denver on his way to California a wonderful lady heard about his story from a friend and she contacted GRIN because she had been waiting for one year for the right dog, and she had found him. It was love at first sight for her also. Both dogs are the most loving, sweet and wonderful companions imaginable. Now, Ramona, also has a good life as she is under the protection of Scooby and has the �privileged" position of courtyard mama at the shelter.

One final twist to the story is that Amistad's human mom had "virtually adopted" Ramona through Scooby's Virtual Adoption program months before she actually adopted Amistad without even knowing she was taking care of his mom as well! These three wonderful dogs have made a huge impact on all who know them, thanks to volunteers at Scooby who cared, and GRIN (Galgo Rescue International Network) for making it all happen.

A reunion is planned in the future for the two brothers whose fate brought them so far and so loved. Stay tuned.

Arwen Fights For Her Life

Written by: Cristina Pascual, (Palencia, Spain)
Translated and Reproduced With Permission by: Michael G Rodrigue

Below is the story of Arwen, one of the many thousands of suffering galgos in Spain. Arwen is now being cared for by Cristina Pascual in Palencia. Cristina has rescued many dogs and has been successful in finding homes for them after she nurses them back to health. She takes on great medical expenses and receives no help from local animal control.

Her most famous case was that of Milord, a German Shepard who had been badly beaten and left to die. He had no feeling in his hind legs and would have to drag them behind him. Cristina sent out a plea for help, and her response was overwhelming. She would drive many miles weekly to take Milord to a veterinary clinic for surgery and treatment. Milord now lives in Catalonia with his forever family.

Cristina is president of an organisation called "Asociacion Socorro Animal Amigos de Milord" in Palencia, and her latest rescue was that of Arwen.

"Arwen does not want to die......Perhaps another dog in her state would have thrown in the towel....but she just keeps on fighting.....it didn't matter to her that she had multiple broken bones and torn tendons......it didn't matter to her that hundreds of maggots and ants were crawling around on her wound and sucking on her flesh and blood......she wants to live.

She only wanted to find her special angel....find that person who would offer a little of bit of human compassion in view of her lamentable state....we don't know if her leg will endure as much as she has, but as soon as she saw that a car door opened and offered her a ride....she did not think twice about it, and nearly without any effort, she used her last breath to jump into the car, and then she passed out ... now she could relax, her angel had appeared.

There were numerous phone calls, once again, asking for help for ARWEN. The animal protectorate of Palencia, as always, never stepped forward. The Asociacion Amigos de Milord took the little dog, a beautiful galga who still today maintains the courage to live....."

Diagnosis:

In the left posterior extremity there is an abrasion away from the center point of attachment with a fracture of the four joints with missing skin and exposed tendon in the tarsus region, metatarsus of the toes with traumatic breaks in the extending tendons.

In the right posterior extremity there is an abrasion in the area near the knee affecting the capsular joint and with a torn toendon, an abrasion in the farther tarsus area affecting the tarsus, metatarsus and toes with missing skin and exposed tendon, fractures near the tibia and fractures near the tarsus.

Necrosis in all of the soft tissue and contamination due to maggots.

Through the help of Nuria Blanco and the organisation "Amigos de los Galgos", Arwen has a foster family waiting for her in France, as soon as she is well enough to travel.

Cepo the Podenco

The Galgo Rescue International Network is coming to the aid of Cepo, a little podenco who lost his front leg after being snared in a snap trap in Spain. Cepo was rescued through a combined effort between Pro-Galgo Spain and Association Evolucion in Madrid. Cepo was found in a trap, his front leg mangled and unsalvageable. Veterinarians were unable to save Cepo's leg so it was amputated. He is recovering well and awaiting transport to his new forever home in Germany, but the bills for his care are significant.

G.R.I.N. is sending a $300 Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) grant to help Association Evolucion and Pro-Galgo pay for Cepo's care. If you would like to contribute to this grant, please click the Chip In link which will redirect you to Pay Pal where you can make a donation. Please list "Cepo" in the comment section.

From Pro-Galgo Spain, Mo Swatek:

CEPO, a little podenco mix was found cought in an illegal trap. The neighbours new who had set the trap there but first nobody wanted to name this man. Then after the dog has been taken to a vet , some people contacted with the police and named the man, several rescue groups and shelters have already sent their "denuncia", (report) to the SEPRONA (section of the spanich police to protect the environmen), CEPO is been spoil in a fosterhome in madrid, near the clinic he had been taken to and is recovering slowly but steadily from his horror. PRO-GALGO has a long term foster family as well as several home offers in germany for CEPO but he is not ready yet for a trip through Europe but we are all convinced that he will make it and become a happy doggy.

The Horror in Ibiza

UPDATE: Most of the dogs have been rescued by Passion Levriers http://www.passionlevriers.com/ and ANAA http://www.anaaweb.org/ingles/! Thank you to everyone who expressed concern and interest!

A new horror has been discovered on the island of Ibiza, in the Mediterranean off the coast of mainland Spain. Between 50-100 Ibizan hounds (Podenco Ibicenco Sighthounds) have been living in grave conditions with little or no food, and no proper veterinary care.

Various organizations are working to rescue these poor souls, and the Galgo Rescue International Network is trying to help these dogs by bring a few of them to the US this September after their rescue from Ibiza. No concrete plans have been made yet, but we are anxiously awaiting news and are eager to help however we can. If you would like to make a donation to the Podencos of Iziba, please click the Chip In link on the homepage. You will be redirected to PayPal where you can make a donation. Please enter "Ibizan" in the comment section of the donation.

From the Passion Levriers website, http://www.passionlevriers.com/accueil_anglais.htm

Between 50 and 100 Podenco Ibicenco Sighthounds live in pitiful conditions on the island of Ibiza, location of the Jet-Set vacation and party lovers of all over the world.

The sighthounds are born, live and die receiving from time to time, as their only food, a few pieces of hard bread, they are sick, they never receive any veterinary care, and all of this without knowing anything else than harsh treatment and pain. This has been going on for more than 20 years, the owner of these sighthounds breeds them in the woods, in front of his house, in complete freedom.

These poor vagrants have been starving since the day they were born, they go raid the trash cans in the neighboring villagers by crossing the road ; some people have pity still and bring them sometimes food. This provokes terrible fights for their survival between the Podencos. The weakest and the sick do not survive long. They have no shelter when it rains or when the sun burns their skin naked because of mange, which leads again to other fights for a territory shaded or protected from bad weather.

The animals cross the road constantly, and constantly, one hears the noise of brutal braking and car horn before the screaming of the run over dog. A large number of these Podencos limp seriously (some have injuries on more than one leg).

The others go die alone in the woods after being hit. It is not seldom to see puppies playing on the road, unaware of the danger they are to themselves and to the drivers who arrive and are unaware of anything.

The man who keeps them in such conditions is a hunter, he used the Podencos to hunt and he also breeds them; he sells them with no identification nor veterinary control. Associations and individuals have denounced this situation for years and have ask authorities to put an end to this atrocity, but nothing has ever happened.

A complaint has currently been sent by a Dutch association, the judge has ordered all Podencos to be seized, and this because some associations have agreed the take charge of a certain number of these animals. At Ibiza, there are no places that can welcome them for more than one day (unfortunately the Podencos are not the only ones on the island to be treated this way and the shelters are full)

The fact that they are on a island make things more difficult to negotiate and more expensive. One needs to transport these sighthounds to the peninsula where they can stay at canine pensions, friendly shelters reserved by the associations and volunteers of all kinds. These Podencos in the large majority have mange, tinea, tumors, fractures....which need expensive veterinary care and treatments.

We refuse to help only a certain number to leave the others continue in a terrible misery and agonize in front of the grinning smile of certain persons who see in them only a business. BUT TODAY WE DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY RESSOURCES TO SAVE THEM ALL.......SO PLEASE, HELP US

Rise against their massacre perpretrated on our so called "civilised" continent , and refuse to see these abominations continue on beings who cannot defend themselves !!!!!!

They will not be able to leave Spain before 31 days (French legislation regarding rabies), they will need to be fed, washed, gotten rid of parasites, and blood tests will need to be taken in the best of cases. Think of the few months old puppies to whom you could give a chance of not dying run over or killed by the gangrene setting in filthy and infected wounds.

How you can help:

• by sending de-wormers and products against external and internal parasites
• by sending bandages, veterinary medications (even started)
• by sending leashes and collars.
