This morning we got a call from a very happy Fermin. Today, for the fist time a hunter was convicted of mistreatment of his galgo's
Do you all remember the pictures of the rescue of 5 galgo's that were thrown in a well?
The owner has to go to jail for 3 months isn't allowed to hunt for two years has to pay 1200 euro's and all costs: vetcosts for the treatment of the galgo's costs for the care Scooby gave them and all cost for going to court
if he isn't willing to pay, 6 more months will be added to his jail time
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Woo Hoo!!! Finally something is being done! As Hounddog said, let's hope this is the beginning of justice for these poor innocent babies and these monsters will think twice about doing something like this again.

I knew the laws existed but no case had even been tried or convicted. That is such a wonderful first-step for Spain to finally take.

Until this January they could never proof that a certain hunter was the owner. This was one of the fist times that the dogs were registered. Another fact was that Fermin could take the risk off going to court because several groups agreed to help out with paying a lawyer.
