Invitation to the Galgo March
On February 1, thousands of animal rights activists will take to the streets to draw attention to the great suffering of hunting dogs in Spain.
Between 50,000 and 100,000 hunting dogs, mainly Galgos and Podencos, are killed every year in Spain. Hunting dogs are often victims of neglect, mistreatment and systematic killing, especially after the hunting season when they are deemed “unusable” or “not efficient enough”.
February 1st marks the end of the hunting season, which is why we and many other animal welfare organizations use this day as Día del Galgo to actively campaign for these dogs. The aim is to bring about a change in the legal and social conditions in Spain.
We would be delighted if you took to the streets with us and your dogs to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. We will meet at the 10th Cologne Galgo March on:
1.2.2025 at 11:50 a.m.
Dreikönigstr. 23, 50678 Cologne
Bürgerhaus Stollwerck (by the silver balls on the lawn)
You can find all event information here.
Here you can download information and banners for your dogs.
We would be very pleased if you would join us in drawing attention to the suffering of many dogs’ souls and thus contribute to finally putting an end to these abuses.
If you would like to have an A4 banner for yourself or your furry friend, you can download the PDF file via this link.
By the way, not only Galgos and Podencos are welcome – all other dogs are welcome too!
We look forward to seeing you!
