Not including hunting dogs really sucks. Poor Galgos.

Those motherfucking hunters... My mom imported two Galgo/Galga through an organization that rescue them. Couldn't believe what they went through at first.

I lived in Spain for many years, The end of hunting season was always horrendous, The first year I was there I came across 5 dogs hanging from trees in a woodland about 5-6km outside of Marbella, it was shocking the abuse I saw over a decade or so

If the dog is not good at hunting they consider it dishonors the hunter. So they kill them by torturing them, most of the time by hanging them to trees and burning them alive.

Jesus. And I thought British fox hunts were bad for abusing their hounds (quite apart from the ripping apart of foxes bit). At least old hounds and non performers get the shotgun, not hanged or burned alive.

We did too. Both were traumatized in their own right
