quote:
We would like to express our gratitude to the 12 flamenco artists who have genereously contribute with their image to this cause: Arcangel, Farrucquito, Israel Galvan, Manuel Lombo, Rocio Marquez, Milagros Menjibar, Estrella Morente, Ruben Olmo, Miguel Poweda, Nino de Pura, José de la Tomasa y Eva Yerbabuena.
Naturally, all good people and efforts that exist are more than great to have and conveying a glimpse of hope.
But the problem with underdeveloped culture, reflected in Ghandi´s quote on the same site, is the proportion of humane / progressive power to its major contrary.
If there was no majority of cold-hearted to sadist individuals the given dimension of abuse would not be there. Nor the abscence of laws against them, or even just discussions about whether cruel traditions were to be worth of being preserved as culture.
Instead of occupying supporters abroad who are adopting thousands of galgos and thus not available for shelters at home, national and international proscription of animal abuse should be a much more effective way.
And galgo breeding and hunting with galgos should be prohibited, which it would very soon if the international public and officiality was to take offence.

PS:
And in the midst of typing this I had to go out and talk to a man who just hit one of the little dog family mentioned above. He claimed these entirely bening and friendly creatures had taken attempts to attack him while he was passing by.
And while I was explaining to him how this was totally impossible, he meant to prove his expertise by saying that he owned a German shepherd himself.
Just to think of that poor creature in the hands of such an ogre ...
(And then the official regulation in a place like this.
If this aggressive person was to complain to the municipality about the allegedly attacking strays, a squad would come, shoot them, throw the carcasses or still alive injured on their pickup, make off and sleep perfectly well in the following night.)
