The dog in the video was rescued, rehabilitated, and adopted by a loving family, but most Galgos (hunting dogs) in Spain are not. PLEASE take 1 minute to SIGN THE PETITION AND SHARE IT. The link is in the comments section.
Up to 50,000 voiceless dogs face the terrifying fate of being thrown down wells, hung from trees, tied to railroad tracks, or dumped by the roadside as Spain's hunting season draws to an end between January and April.
Heartless Spanish hunters discard these working dogs, known as Galgos, so they do not have to pay for food to keep them alive after the season ends.
Animal welfare organizations estimate that Spain has 200,000 registered Galgueros, who own up to ten dogs each, and that up to 50,000 Greyhounds are killed or abandoned at the end of each season.
Animal welfare organizations (charities) struggle to cope with the influx of abandoned dogs, many of whom are injured and left to fend for themselves. Others are left to die in wells, with cruel owners blocking up the entrance with wood so there is no chance of escape.
Galgos, a member of the Sighthound family and a distant relation to British Greyhounds, are used for hunting and for hare coursing, where two dogs compete to run down a hare over open land. Galgos are naturally calm, loving and gentle animals, but they are deprived of all love and don't know what that is. The ones that do survive are deeply traumatized and have trust issues to begin with, but they can be rehomed and given the love and life they deserve.
The Animal Welfare organizations can only help the tip of the iceberg, so the answer is a complete ban on hunting with Galgos!!!!
⚠️PLEASE HELP by SHARING this post and SIGNING the petition!!!!⚠️
