A Galgo Story (Spanish Greyhound) 1 English version

Shows critical situation of Galgos, Spanish hunting dogs. 50,000 die each year at the end of the hunting season. Many are abused and horribly injured before death or abandonment. Many groups in Spain and the world work together to rescue, medically treat, and rehome these graceful dogs. Please watch and get involved. Adopt or rescue, instead of buying a new pup or dog.

Heart-warming video with a very important message.

Is there is no end to your talents!

Thanks for your really kind comments, and for sending so many fine people to view the movies. I have just uploaded a video about Sebas, a rescued Podenco. That's a breed that needs more publicity, as they share every ugly and evil bit of the same fate.

Really moving and powerful video. Look forward to seeing more!

The canadians dont have moral or justification to criticize Spain. You strike to the baby seals, and you practice hunt to the whales (something unthinkable in Spain). So less hypocrisy, champion

@timboody

It has legislated against the mistreatment of animals, with heavy fines, not imprisonment. Lawmakers I don't believe that they want to go to this extreme, because then the abolitionists of bullfighting they would want the same penalties for bullfighting

I also hope you condemn the cruelty that you, the canadians (yes, you) you commit against the defenseless seal pups,ok?

Bye

Ich finde es gut, wenn auf Missstände ANGEMESSEN aufmerksam gemacht wird. Diese Bilder gibt es schon sehr lange und/oder sie wiederholen sich immer und immer wieder.Leider gibt es sogenannte Tierschützer, die mit solchen Bildern in betrügerischer Absicht Geld von ahnungslosen Spendern heranschaffen und sich letztlich selbst bereichern.

Diese schwarzen Schafe ziehen die ehrenwerte Arbeit in den Schmutz und sähen Misstrauen.

To everyone who thinks about getting a dog: They are living beings, do not buy them like a toy, rather adopt them like a child.. I took one of those dogs... and I would do it over and over again!

@aarajula: thank you for the video, it is so important that the people know about what happens, those poor dogs deserve a real life, not hell on earth.

Spain has basically no political will to help animals period.For that reason I will never support that country with my tourism dollars until they show changes are being made in a big way. The people that do these things to these dogs need to be jailed and lifetime ban from owning animals.

I adopted a Galgo Espanol, from Stichting Greyhounds In Nood Nederland, and i absolutely don't understand why these dogs are being treated so horribly. They have so much love to give :( The Galgo Espanol is a beautiful, kind and noble breed of dog!!!
