Spanish greyhounds, or galgos—a breed of dog native to Spain—are some of the most abused animals on the planet. Known for their stamina, galgos have been exploited for centuries, and Spain is reportedly the only country in Europe that still allows galgos to be used in hunting.
A tremendous number of hunters owning and breeding animals use cruel and savage ways to get rid of them as soon as they don’t need them anymore. That way they end their already miserable lives. Wounded, beaten, mutilated, greyhounds are left to horrifying agonies, all under the cover of so call "traditions".
The Spanish galgos suffer in squalid and inhumane breeding facilities.
Reportedly, galgos who are not hanged are often drowned in wells, injected with bleach or gasoline, shot, burned to death, or dumped on the streets after their legs are deliberately broken so that they cannot follow the cowardly hunters home.
