ACTI-CHIEN GREYHOUND IN NEED: THE FILE Our main goal: SPAIN People devoted to greyhounds cause in Spain are all voluntary that do all to bring love and care to each hurt or ill animal that arrive in shelters. Some were found dead, other died after the event, in spite of their efforts, some have recover health, and some of them have already beds and sofas in loving home in France and Europe. Why so much abandonment ? In spain when hunt season end in January, most of "galgueros" (Greyhounds owners) don't want to keep their dogs during 9 months meanwhile next season in September. Anyway they raised puppies for next hunt season. So greyhounds are abandoned in large number from the month of January, that mean thousand dogs through all Spain. Worse region are: Castilla y Leon, Madrid, Toledo, Ciudad Real, Granada, Extramadura and Cuenca. More, during hunt season, if a greyhound become "sucio" (dirty), more precisely, if following the hare he cut to take a shorter way, the dog is disqualified. Traditionally, the hunter tell: "Ese no come mas en mi casa" (Tis dog can't eat anymore in my house), and the dog can be hang in the more horrible mannerthat be in order that the owner found again his lost honour. The association
"Greyhound in need" G.I.N. consacres all his time and his energy
to end these atrocious traditions. Now pictures The following pictures were taken in Medina del Campo, near Valladolid. They are very hard, but they are the expression of reality, a pitiless and shocking reality, a reality we want to change by our action:
This female was found in the south of Madrid.
This Greyhound was attached to a tree in the surroundings of Fuente
El Sol.
This greyhound was towed behind a car. He died
Most of the hanged dogs are greyhounds.
A "galguero" (spanish hunter using greyhounds) told us dogs don't
suffer when they are hanged.

the neck of the dog.
Here is a female that suffered of malnutrition).
Here is the detail of her wound...
A greyhound in his box, to go twaitingo greyhound racing.
Even with breaked or deformed legs, greyhounds must go to greyhound racing !
CONCLUSION Unfortunately, these pictures are only few examples among all "Greyhounds in need" (G.I.N.) could see since his work began in favour of Greyhounds of Spain, in february 1997. Hanging of Greyhounds considerably decreased in the area of Medina del Campo, but in the other hand, shelters receive each year more than 300 greyhounds abandoned during the two months following the hunt season. In the rest of Spain, Greyhounds' s hanging goes on, even they decrease in some regions. According to groups of animals protection and the Guardia Civil, this practices goes on but of discreet manner. The action of G.I.N. is mainly :
We thanks all the persons that help us in order that the voluntaries can continue their work for all the dogs. We are still a little associative structure and all our spare time is devoted to this cause. We are short of time and money, but not of devotion, perseverance and love to these dogs.
