Stop the physical and mental cruelty against Galgos and Podencos in Spain
Our aims : 1- that Galgos,Podencos and other breeds of hunting dogs may no longer suffer the physical and mental cruelty which is inflicted on them as a « tradition » in Spain.
2 - that all these dogs may live with dignity in their own country.
3 - that the number of international rescues may finally decrease.
Through this international petition to be sent to the leader of the Spanish government Jose Luis Zapatero, we ask:
-that the existing laws such as the Nucleo Zoologico ( the permit required to keep more than 5 dogs in suitable kennels and under veterinary supervision ) be respected in order to maintain the Galgos, Podencos and other breeds of dog in good sanitary conditions.
-that it be compulsory, under a new law, for every owner of a hunting dog to vaccinate his dog (in addition to microchipping or tattooing, which is already compulsory) in order to obtain an annual hunting permit.
-that it be compulsory for every owner of a hunting dog to have his dog%u2019s up to date vaccination card with him at all times during the hunting season .
-that every Galguero caught with a dog who is in bad physical or mental condition be severely punished with a prison sentence, this is already in place but is rarely applied. Since its reform two years ago, the Spanish Penal Code already considers cruelty to animals to be a criminal offence (up to this it was just considered to be a misdemeanour). The sentence imposed for the offence is a fine along with 3 months to 1 year in prison, the severity of the penalty depends on the judge but in Spain a person who is given a sentence of less than one year and who has no prior convictions will not go to prison for a first offence.
-that any assistance from a state authority (Seprona, Guardia Civil ) or a veterinary source that contravenes these principles be sanctioned by a suspension or a ban on practising.

Ayuda Usted los perros y todos los animales!! Muchas gracias por respectar los derechos de los animales!
It's heart breaking to hear the stories about the way these dogs are treated. I admire all those working to save them.
I saw many galgo and grey saved by people in Italy and I understand how is really unbelievable how certainly "beast men" manage and kill these "human animals"!

Hoy en el programa 24horas de Television Espanola he visto una de las peores imagenes de mi vida respecto al mundo animal. Galgos ahorcados, metidos en bolsas, y todo tipo de crueldades. Hay muchas campanas en este momento de respeto a la vida, soy parte de muchas ellas, Derecho a Vivir y ahora en este caso es derecho a Vivir para todos en este planeta que unos cuantos estan intentando destruir. No nos vamos a quedar quietos NO MAS abusos a animales y respetemos LA VIDA de todos los seres.
"Animals are now more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense because they don't; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us." Matthew Scully - Dominion
En 2009, l'horreur, un véritable scandale totalement inadmissible de la part de l'homme !!!!

J'espère que cette pétition aboutira et mettra fin à cette cruauté humaine envers ces pauvres animaux
As civilized people who believe they do this. I hope that one day you shall be punished as you deserve!!!
Ignorance is no excuse it is a choise. Helping people starts with helping animals. Cultivate compassion and ban cruelty. Example is leadership so please show some good example.

Let's prove once and for all that human kind has evolved not only from technological point of view and that we truly are in the 21 century.
Nothing to declare, just say this sign petitio, will be completed!!!
Please don't be cruel to the animals. They deserve a chance. They are one of God's Creature's. Stop being cruel.
