Spain is a country of extremes. In its history and culture, the role of most animals has always been subordinate to that of their human ruler. We all know the gruesome details of bullfighting. Alas, the majority of the Spanish congress still feel it’s part of their cultural heritage deserving of protection. And subsequently so, a majority of the Spanish citizens.
In the olden days of Let’s Adopt! Global, and now Viktor Larkhill Extreme Rescue, the plight of the Spanish sighthounds used for hunting was introduced to a larger audience. For many years, animal rescue organizations all over Europe and the United States, have done their part in trying to help as many Galgo and Podenco dogs possible to escape from certain death, inflicted by those that use and abuse these wonderfully elegant and sweet beings. Our utmost respect goes out to those who live the nightmare of animal rescue work day in, day out.
Every time we see and hear about yet another dog being found, we cringe. Broken bones can in most cases be healed. But what about the broken souls? We’d like to introduce you to Amy. You can read her story by clicking on her name.
