To Galgo Day, 1 February
From birth, the sensitive dogs are trained for the hunt with cruel methods and repeatedly abused terribly. Many animals are kept in dark cellars or sheds. Others in small crates, tons or old cars.
When the hunting season is over at the beginning of February, the Galgos’ suffering history reaches its sad climax: animals that are no longer producing are disposed of ice cold by their owners.
The hunters starve the galgos, bury them alive, hang them on trees, drag them to death by car or throw them into deep wells. When the dogs are “lucky” they end up with broken bones in the street.
That’s Spain too!
The welcome myths from the media and travel catalogs have bombarded us for years with slogans and national myths that Spain is a fascinating country :
the Spaniards know to eat, the Spaniards know to live, to love, to enjoy!!! Spain, the nation with “el temperamento de pura raza”! Go for Vacation in Spain!
And so today Spain can (almost) live from tourism, which it does not deserve.
A country with bullfighting as a cultural heritage, a country with an annual galgos massacre of 50,000, a country with the most brutal tradition in bull torture in Europe (Toro de la Vega, Toro del Fuego, San Fermín days … etc) such a country deserves tourism boycott!

Now another 35 baby elephants are to be sent to Chinese zoos after being forcibly separated from their mothers in the Hwange National Park.
“Network for Animals is appalled by Zimbabwe’s continued export of very young elephants to lives of hell in China,” said David Barritt, NFA’s chief campaigner.
“Many of these babies will still be breast feeding. Scientists say they will never fully recover from the trauma”.
…the human being has not the least value on this planet…there is absolutely nothing useful and peaceful that he can give to nature and animals… with everything he does, he destroys everything that has life, beauty, value..we are certainly by far the dumbest, perfidious and abominable beings on this earth .

After Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, Botswana, Oman, Costa Rica (2012) and many other areas now also in Colombia. The Colombian Constitutional Court made a groundbreaking decision for the animals: It declared the hobby hunting unconstitutional.
On this basis, one year after the court ruling, a ban on hobby hunting in Colombia will come into effect.
“It is constitutionally not allowed to kill or torture animals just for fun […] because that does not correspond to the duty or the constitutional mandate to protect nature […]. “
And these are the “third world” countries!!!
Here in “first world” country, in Germany, we have 380,000 hobby-hunters and only about 1,000 of them are professional hunters, especially forestry officials. 380.00 hobby killers kill up to 6 million wild animals a year. For fun!!

In Europe, about 74 million tons of marine animals worth 120 billion euros are raised in aquaculture. An Italian organization, “Essere Animali “, wanted to know under what conditions.
And what they found is scary!!
With hidden cameras they have discovered farms similar to those for meat, millions of fish locked up in cages, manipulated and transported as if they were objects. They are not even allowed to stun before death: they are left agonized for long minutes. That of fish is a silent suffering on which it is urgent to intervene.
The EU Commission in a report in March 2018 stated that there are serious abuses in the factory farming of fish (aquaculture).
But EU sees no further need to protect fish!
The Commission justifies this by saying that “the welfare of fish could also be achieved through ‘voluntary measures, as demonstrated by the industry’s improvements in recent years” (!!)

Recently, Dolphin Project had the opportunity to speak with Ren Yabuki of the Life Investigation Agency (LIA). LIA focuses on the representation of animals in Japan. We met Ren for the first time in the 2016/17 dolphin hunt season when he came to Taiji to find out about the problems of the prison industry in Japan.
He says: “When the news reports on the subject matter, they are very biased and do not accurately portray the available information. The media tends to hide and cover up information for the Japanese people by never telling the full truth”.
The suppression of freedom of speech and of the press is a broad phenomenon when it comes to the truth about the crimes against animals.
Paul Sethe, a German publicist and journalist said many years ago: “Press freedom is the freedom of two hundred rich people to spread their opinions.”
