Spanish Dogs Mutilated
The Netherlands
England |
- Tarragona, Barcelona,
Spain:
The animal protectors who take care of the shelter in Tarragona
have made a terible discovery when they came to the shelter on
the morning of the 3rd of Novermber. 15 dogs have been brutally
mutilated by some perverted people.
-
- The insane killers must have entered
the shelter well after midnight. They covered the dogs with a
blanket and used saws to cut off the poor animals' front legs!!!
The police believe that a game of role could be the reason for
this disgusting and sickening action and are investigating the
case. The animal protectors think that a satanic ritual could
also be possible. It seems as if more than one person was involved.

- Update 5 December 2001
- Response from Teofilo de Luis
and comments from Ms. Jones and Pat Colitsas
-
- Thank you to all of you who have written
emails and letters to the politicians in Spain. We seem to all
have received the same wishy-washy response that lacks any specific
information. Below is a wonderfully written reply to Mr. Teofilo
deLuis's response that we have been given permission to use.
Please consider sending a response indicating that you want real
answers and real action for the animals in Spain. Thank you!
-
- THE REPLY WAS SENT FROM THIS E-MAIL
ADDRESS:
ester.fernandez@gpp.congreso.es
So a copy should go there.
OUR LETTERS ORIGINALLY WERE SENT TO: grupo.popular@gpp.congreso.es
and responses should go there too, again. (And don't forget to
copy Pat at pats1packer@aol.com for collection, printing and future distribution.)
- Comments from Pat Colitsas.....
-
- Below is a follow up letter written
to Mr. de Luis. I think it is so good everyone should have a
chance to read it. It's time for us to respond to the "form"
e-mail we all received. This man has to be overcome, because
if he isn't, a new Penal Code is not going to make it. He has
to understand that we are not going to take a siesta on this,
there isn't any time for rest.
-
- It is an insult to me especially to
have him insinuate he is working together with hunters to make
things better for the hunting galgos. I have three galgos here
in my home, one of which is a survivor of an attempt to hang
him in a well near Medina del Campo. If he expects it to give
me any comfort to hear the hunters are in on any of this, he
is sadly mistaken.
- Either he is stonewalling, or he needs
to be educated. Is it possible that he is so far removed from
animal welfare he really doesn't know what is going on? If so,
then he is negligent and of little use to his party, who is going
to be severely criticized for not acting. Somehow we have to
break through this glass wall they have built around themselves.
I think a move against Spanish Tourism is in order. [see this page]
-
- When President Aznar was in the United
States we all got a chance to see him. I am not impressed. Reading
the transcript of his live appearance on Larry King's Show proves
he is not even a statesman. I believe we can shake him up on
this issue so that it will pursue him enough he puts it on his
agenda to deal with. Otherwise, he needs to know there is a cost
in tourism revenue.
-
- These two men can't even come up with
a rationale for continuing to support bull fighting. They would
have us believe it is tourists spending so much to attend bull
fights, they can't tamper with animal protections laws for fear
it will jeopardize that "sport". And, they say, it
is a "jewel" among Spanish cultural treasures. Again,
this cannot possibly be accurate. In past times perhaps bull
fighting was an important component of Spanish culture and tradition.
Those times are past. Does Spain believe that she will forever
be accepted into the global community dragging along this brutal
and bloody sport?
-
- As for the galgos, the face of Spain
for many of us who know of this evil, are the many gruesome pictures
of their bodies, frozen in time in their death throes. It is
those faces of torment that are stamped on our images of Spain.
The physical evidence of these crimes
remain, unless and until someone comes along and cuts the rope
and their carcasses finally come back into contact with the ground.
-
- I refuse to believe that the Spanish
people are content to have the world so outraged. Animal protection
in Spain remains in the Stone Age. Its leaders seem to feel there
is no need to change because they have not been challenged adequately.

-
- PERMISSION TO CIRCULATE AND POST THIS
MESSAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
- 4 December 2001
-
- Dear Teofilo de Luis,
- You claim that as a member of Chamber
you support and are strongly engaged in policies aimed at improving
conditions; correct me if I am wrong but the facts speak otherwise.
The continued suffering of animals in Spain has made global news;
the kind of press that would make any caring, responsible government
take immediate action to rectify the situation. Yet you expect
the whole world to accept that you have good intentions and that
we should take it in good faith that you and your government
have policies that are compassionate towards animals of Spain.
-
- The situation to this very day remains
the same. The persistent mistreatment of greyhounds at Barcelona
tracks in addition to their appalling living conditions are reminisitent
of the SLAVE TRADE,the blatant torture and consequent painful
deaths of the galgos and other hunting dogs still continues today.
-
- You profess that it is a pleasure to
inform me that you have many projects to reach your targets,
yet you do not mention what these alleged projects and targets
are? In regards to the suffering and unmentionable mutilations
of the helpless dogs in Tarragona, Can you tell me if you have
found the sick culprits? And if not what actions you have taken
to find these
murderers? What will your PENAL CODE and LAWS of COMMUNIDADES
AUTONOMOUS give them as punishment?. Could you kindly give me
an adequate detailed response, as you failed to mention what
punishment for murders and torture of animals in Spain are? Could
it be perhaps because this alleged punishment is nearly non-existant?
-
- In regards to another point that you
made whereby you assume that everybody in Spain agrees with you
that the Spanish laws on animal protection are adequate, I beg
to differ, the demonstration at the sight of the atrocities at
Tarragona animal sanctuary proved otherwise. There were caring
spanish people amongst others from around the world who firmly
protest at the injustice that is sadly evident in Spain.
-
- Furthermore you mention collaboration
with the hunters yet you fail to mention what this collaboration
actually entails? Could you be more specific on this matter?
-
- I respectfully remind you that the
road to hell is paved with good intentions. I urge you to take
these matters much more seriously and stop the abuse of greyhounds,
galgos and other animals in Spain by implementing realistic and
enforceable laws to protect the helpless
animals of Spain. To severally punish in no uncertain terms murderers
and abusers of animals.
- Please kindly address the points that
I have made more specifically.
The world awaits Spain's actions. I look forward to your genuine
response.
- Yours Sincerely
- RK JONES

- 27 November 2001
Thank you very much for your letter about certain conducts with
animals.
I am happy to say that my Group in Congress and me as a member
of the Chamber, and the Goverment we support, are strongly engaged
with policies aim to improve like condition of our fauna and
flora, and of course, of our dogs. We have been the most active
Group in Congress with many initiatives in that sense.
One of those initiatives pretended to increase the sensibility
of people with nature, flora and fauna. Another one was about
our dogs breed. Today is a pleasure for me to inform you that
with the support of our Goverment we have many projects to reach
these targets.
In relation with the news of the 3 of November I am glad to tell
that they are not the common actitude of spanish people and that
today with our Penal Code and Laws of our Comunidades Autónomas
we are ready to prosecute these behavings.
I am sure that everybody who Knows our country, our people and
our history will agree with my position.
I will also like to tell you that our hunters collaborate with
the objective mentioned above an they are helping very much.

- Report on Demonstration
held at Tarragona....
-
- It will mean a lot to all of those
who sent their names to be listed on the Tarrragona Petition
to know that our Petition has been left at the site of the atrocity.
The dogs that died there have been remembered and spoken for.
While everyone may not believe it, I feel deeply that they know.
It is demonstrations and continued pressure that will bring about
the changes so desperately needed in the Penal Code. Every little
bit of effort we put forth is well worth it. Don't ever think
your voiced and written concern is wasted, it is not. BTW, "Anna
and her boyfriend" are the couple who agreed to put donated
coats on their 11 greyhounds who race at Meridiana. This kind
of contact and dialogue has been unheard of until now. Thank
you for your continuing support. Please circulate this message.
Names for the petition are still arriving and being forwarded
to Spain. I hope everyone hears this update.

Greyhounds As Companions, Inc.
-
- Dear Pat,
-
- Sunday's demonstration was good. It
was a shame that it was so short; however, I'd say that many
hundreds of people were there and some dogs at the shelter got
adopted. It was sad to see them there, although I've seen worse
places. I'd never seen so many people in a refuge and I think
that this was the silver lining on the cloud.
-
-
- I made two copies of the petition list
you sent and in honour to you and those who signed it, placed
it on the tree where those poor souls lost their lives. The other
copy of the same petition list will go to the government via
Fundacion
Altarriba. They have carried out a
huge signature campaign and organized Sunday's demonstration.
Their website is www.fundacionaltarriba.org.
-
We haven't had any response from the queen but that's no surprise
really. We just have to persevere. I'll send you photos of the
demonstration as soon as the camera is downloaded. A radio channel
has emailed me for an interview, I'll let you know how it went!
We have to carry on working as we have been, I think the next
step would be to welcome the replacement for Felip Puig (same email),
the head of dept for natural envionment of the Catalan government,
to remind him that his duties apart from rivers and litter are
also animals
and their welfare and include perhaps Felip Puig's email reply
to help him refresh his memory and keep him on his toes.
-
- Merielle Broeders
(left) and Anna Clements holding our petition
-
- Anna and her boyfriend came to the
clinic on Saturday morning to pick up the coats I'd prepared
for them (the elderly lady who'se also a greyhound owner - rescued
not racing - made us a couple recently) so I was able to give
them some. They were very grateful and brought along their own
retired greyhound that lives with them. I was most surprised
to hear Anna say that the three of them sleep in the same bed
at night!! What would you know, that's great news. As soon as
I receive your coats Pat I will contact them again to give them
to them.
-
They stayed for a good hour and asked how much we charge for
spaying. I made it very clear to them that one thing was our
non profit SOS Galgos association and the other the clinic since
I want to make sure that they know that all we want is for the
racing greyhounds to have a better standard of living, nothing
else. The boyfriend wanted to know how much it would cost since
he says that greyhounds are not raced when on heat because they're
more apt to getting hurt and irritable towards others. I was
surprised to hear of his concern, hence this is why Albert enquired
with Suzanne to know whether greyhounds are still raced if they're
spayed.

- Update 19 November....
- Response from Teofilo
de Luis and comments from Pat Colitsas
-
- Some of you may have received a reply
to your protest letter to Teofilo de Luis. His reply sent to
people around the world all said the same thing. If you will
consider a response, here are some ideas. But anything written
should be in your own words, and must be civil. A copy of the
message I received is below.

-
- Some info he may not be aware we know:
- ..................with all due respect,
we have hundreds of pictures of hanged galgos in Valladolid,
Granada, Caceres, Sevilla, Toledo, Leon and many other places
in Spain which we would love to send you to prove that these
are not isolated cases. Also you can ask the authorities in Valencia
about the burning of dogs in the Nazaret neighborhood and many
other cases.
-
- The TV channel TV3 asked many organizations
to send documents about cruelty in animals to be shown in a program
next Thursday 22nd of November and a few days later had to ask
to stop sending material as they were overwhelmed with documents.
-
- When you say that you are ready to
prosecute those atrocities with the present Penal Code are you
referring to article 632? It only refers to cruelty to animals
if it is performed in public shows without authorization. Does
it mean that cruelty towards animals performed in privacy or
in public shows is tolerated? WOULD THAT NOT MEAN THAT THE DOGS
TORTURED AND KILLED IN TARRAGONA WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY ANYTHING.
?????????
-
- Finally you seem to be happy with the
present laws for protection of animals. Is your intention not
to develop a Spanish Law for Protection of Animals, which presently
only exist in some communities and many have not even been developed
and so cannot be enforced?.
-
- He writes further ........ we have
just present in Congress an initiative to study if necesary a
modification of our Penal Code.
-
- This idea is a little too late. It
is certainly necessary and a modification is not adequate. This
issue requires a SEPARATE Penal Code to cover the animals in
question. Dogs continue to suffer and die and IMMEDIATE ACTION
IS REQUIRED. THOUSANDS OF DOGS ARE AT RISK. ARE THEY SUPPOSED
TO SUFFER UNTIL A STUDY IS MADE? IT PUZZLES ME TO HEAR YOU NEED
TO INVESTIGATE THE NEED. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN IN AMERICA, GERMANY,
HOLLAND, BELGIUM, THE UK, SWITZERLAND, FRANCE, AND SPAIN ITSELF,
WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. YOU MUST KNOW FROM THE
PROTESTS AND THOUSANDS OF LETTERS AND POST CARDS RECENTLY BROUGHT
TO YOUR ATTENTION, THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM, AND NOW IT HAS
COME TO REST IN YOUR LAP. IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE MAJOR RESISTANCE
IS COMING FROM YOUR PARTY!
-
- Last but not least, Spain has been
revealed to be brutal in its treatment of animals. However, what
is worse, its government and officials are comfortable leaving
it the way it is. Blood, gore and agony do not appeal to tourists.
I believe that throughout the world there are millions more people
who care about animals as opposed to the few that do not.
-
- He continues....I will also like
to tell you that our hunters collaborate with the objective mentioned
above and they are helping very much.
-
- If you are collaborating with the hunters
to decide whether a law should be enacted, then as we say here
in America, "You have sent a fox to guard the hen house".
We are looking forward for your answers.

- Update......18 November
2001
Things keep moving. Today El Pais newspaper in its Catalan edition
has shown a half page article talking about the necessity to
change the Penal Code. After describing the horror in Tarragona,
they say how many organizations, including the leading American
association PETA and Bridgitte Bardot foundation are supporting
next December 2nd demonstration in front of Tarragona shelter.
Fundacion Altarriba has organized this demonstration and has offered
100,000 ptas ($500) to whoever offers information to capture
the authors of the brutal acts. An anonimous Galician citizen
has offered all his savings ($2,000) to add to the prize, and
other donations have added it up to 1.5 million ptas ($8,000).
-
- At the end of the article they mention
the information sent by the Veterinary Body (us) informing about
the 42,000 signatures gathered in Holland and Germany to protest
about animal cruelty in Spain and especially about the hanging
of greyhounds at the end of the hunting season.
In yesterday's edition of El Pais newspaper (inside pages for
all Spain), there is information that the Popular Party has introduced
a proposal at the Spanish Congress to reform the Penal Code,
although they have said that they don't like partial amendements
of this Criminal Code. It seems that they feel the pressure and
undoubtely some change will be made. We only have to see how
much water they will try to put into the wine to make it lighter.
All the pressure will be needed to avoid that.

- Anna & Albert
- Comments from Anna
& Albert (SOS
Galgos)
-
- It is true and most newspaper and radios
have sent out the news. It was a small refuge in bad conditions
near Tarragona, 100 km south of Barcelona, waiting for the town
hall to provide a better shelter. There was no vigilance at night
and someone broke in and did these terrible acts.
-
- Local police, the civil police (guardia
civil) and the Spanish police department are investigating to
look for those responsible. Again, even if they caught them,
a fine would be the maximum penalty for it. Nobody can understand
how this happened: role play, satanic acts, criminals on drugs...
-
- Most are mixed-breed dogs: german sheperds,
pekinees. No Greyhounds as far as we know. The only hopeful thing
is that even some Spanish newspapers are calling for the reform
of the Spanish Penal Code to fight all this cruelty.
-
- Best wishes,
- Albert & Anna
- SOS
Galgos
-
- How You Can Help.....
-
- PLEASE write a protest letter
to the catalan government to create and enforce better animal
welfare laws as well as to work on finding the barbarians who
committed these awful mutilations. Right now, Greyhounds and
Galgos have no protection under Spanish laws and this needs to
be changed.
-
- Suzanne Stack, DVM adds: I posted my
"Letter to Spain" because there is at this time a window
of opportunity to change the animal protection laws in Spain.
Thursday (11/15), there will be a press conference in Barcelona
with the media, politicians, SOS Galgos, and the Barcelona Veterinary
Body. A representative from Greyhounds In Nood Netherlands will
attend with 250,000 signed postcards from Dutch citizens protesting
Spain's treatment of its galgos. An international letter writing
campaign is going on at this time and could yield some results
for the first time in years.
If you've ever considered writing a letter to Spain, now is the
time to do it.
-
- Email letters can be sent to the president
of Spain, José Maria Aznar and to the Secretario Tecnico

Both should be sent to the following email address:

- Also, please forward a copy to Pat Colitsas.
She will print them out for the media and have them hand delivered
to President Aznar.

- A note from Suzanne
Stack, DVM
-
- Spain's leading political party Partido
Popular (ruled by President Aznar) has today (11 November) said
that a change in the Penal Code is absolutely out of the question.
-
- Teofilo de Luis is in charge of Animal
Welfare at the Spanish leading Party, and said that there is
no way to change the Spanish Penal Code as it would be like opening
the melon of chaos (due to bullfighting issues, no doubt). Bullfighting
is the main obstacle to Spain having animal protection laws -
bullfighting is their national sport, heritage, and tradition.
-
- To effect a change in the animal welfare
laws (even if we don't approve of bullfighting), it will be necessary
to distance small animals/galgos from the bulls. Teofilo de Luis
was quite satisfied with his party's promotion of animal welfare
and said that these mutilations were isolated cases that can
be cured with the right fines

- To send a letter:
- Sr.Teofilo de Luis
Secretario de Medio Ambiente del PP
grupo.popular@gpp.congreso.es
-
- The letter sent by
Dr. Stack. It may give you some information and guidance on what
to say in your own letter.
-
- Dear Presidente Sr. Jose Maria Aznar,
-
- I am a veterinarian writing to you
from the United States. For years now, I have been following
and contributing to the efforts of Spanish and European volunteers
to improve the lives of Spain's imported Irish racing greyhounds
and especially the native bred galgos.
-
- In America, just 10 years ago, most
greyhounds were destroyed once their racing careers ended. Public
outcry and the hard work of over 300 adoption groups nationwide
has reversed this. Today, the majority of the 25,000 racers retired
yearly are adopted into private homes. Greyhounds appear at sporting
events, festivals, storefronts, and on television to promote
this most gentle of dog breeds. Greyhound owners and tracks have
come to realize it's in their best public interest to support
these efforts.
-
- We have come a long way and now turn
to the galgos of Spain. Greyhound lovers are an extremely dedicated
group of people who will not go away and will help in any way
possible. At considerable expense, in the past year I've collected
and shipped over 1,000 kg of medicines and supplies donated by
Americans who want to help the galgos. While we each do what
we can, we realize that the greater change needs to come from
within Spain.
-
- Galgos and greyhounds need to be included
in the Penal Code which protects "companion animals."
Companion animals should have sole and separate laws from farm
animals - they do in America. Dogs, are, after all, household
pets. The question of bullfighting should not stand in the way
of pets receiving legal protection - it is an entirely different
matter.
-
- As it is, any hunter is free to hang,
shoot, impale, or set fire to his galgo whenever it is no longer
of use to him. This because Spain classifies galgos as "sporting
animals" who have no protection under the laws that cover
other dogs. We will see what kind of teeth the animal welfare
laws have in the wake of the disgusting mutilations in Tarragona
that are making world news.
-
- Rescuers have been called out for galgos
thrown to the bottom of wells and even tied to railroad tracks.
This all seems fine with the hunters because they've been doing
it this way for generations - it is their "tradition."
You must know how this sickens us who share our homes with greyhounds.
-
- In America, our lawmakers are concerned
with the link between animal abuse and women / child abuse. Mass
murderers inevitably start out torturing and killing animals.
As a veterinarian, I am legally required to report suspected
cases of animal abuse just as physicians are required to report
child abuse.
-
- There is a coming, growing, worldwide
social demand for greyhound welfare. It is coming to Spain. American
adoption groups from New York to Texas have traveled to Spain
to bring back nearly 50 galgo "ambassadogs" to call
public attention to the hangings. Is this really what Spain wants
the world to know of a country so rich in culture and beauty?
-
- Americans will be bringing these concerns
to the Spanish Parliament via email and letters. If the Spanish
Penal Code cannot be changed to include greyhounds and galgos,
then a new law solely for greyhounds and galgos should be made.
Right now, these vulnerable dogs have no legal protection. That
must change. Not only will the dogs benefit, but Spanish society
will look much better to the outside world.

- A note from Pat Colitsas
(Greyhounds
As Companions)
-
- We should be encouraged by the fact
there is, at this moment, a window of opportunity to really roll
in to Spain in masses and perhaps cause a revolution in the apathy
surrounding animal welfare. Pressure right now in the right places
could get this job done.
-
- Remember, just within the last two
months, our pressure brought about a halt to the export to
Spain of 35 Irish Greyhounds, until they had the proper vaccinations
to satisfy the regulations.
-
- AND,
it was Americans that helped pressure the proper authorities
to go to Santa Coloma and investigate the kennels where the Greyhounds
live that race at Meridiana (Barcelona). Violations were documented
and changes will have to be made so those dogs are in safer
conditions.
-
- Don't think that our efforts are wasted!
Any of you that have lists of people that might participate,
please let me know so that they can be placed in the loop to
receive late breaking news and instruction.

- An update from Anna
(SOS
Galgos)
-
- I rang TV3 this morning because someone
I know told me this morning, that she's seen the news last night
about what had happened, following by images of Greyhounds hanging,
and news about a great lack of law enforcement and uselessness
of the penal
code.
-
- I am sure that all the hard work that
Albert has done over the years to urge a change of the penal
code, nagging the authorites (and everyone in his power for that
matter) has finally gotten through, through what happened in
Tarragona last Friday.
-
- I was passed on to several people at
the TV3 channel and eventually spoke to the right person. A documentary
on what happened in Tarragona is being prepared and I went on
extensively about the Greyhounds, and gave her our website address
and phone nº. and
put her on to Albert, because he and the journalist at the veterinary
body are today sending out a press release to urge for a change
in the law of the penal code, to reach out to the public, get
out to the street and collect signatures and luck enabled Albert
and this TV woman to connect.
