From Heaven to Hell - The Story of the Galgo Espanol by Beryl Brennan
Here's what Beryl has told us about her recently published book:-
"My book is a definitive guide to the Galgo Espanol, I don't think there is another one on the market, I haven't found one. I explore the breed from ancient history to present day, methods of disposal, dog pounds and killing stations, diseases, EU and Spanish Animal Welfare Acts - including ones which could be used to stop the maltreatment of galgos - Spanish and International Rescue Associations, educating the young, and how to solve the problem in which I discuss banning racing and hunting with galgos.
There is also a chapter on the racing and hunting federations, in which I attack them for not putting an end to what they do, and to this chapter is added an extract (about 4 pages) from a report presented by Beatrice Monnet of L'Europe des Levriers, the association I mainly work with) to the European Commission calling for a ban on hunting with galgos.
I also mention the GRGB (Greyhound Board of Great Britain) and the fact that they claim reports of maltreatment to greyhounds are isolated incidents and that the rescue associations and GA can absolutely prove otherwise, and I attack the government, regional, provincial and municipal authorities for doing nothing about it and also, without actually using the word 'corrupt' show how corrupt it all is because judges, police etc are also hunters and will not take the steps necessary to help stamp out hunting with galgos.
My book is intended to expose, publicise and explain to everyone in one source (there's plenty of lots of different websites, but not all together in one source) how the problem of the galgos - especially hanging them from trees - has come about and to shame Spain into doing something about it."
We recommend this book to all our supporters and everyone who is concerned about the plight of greyhounds and galgos.
It's currently available as an ebook and the printed version will be published on June 14th.
