Let me
explain, what are the latest news from Bullas, all the animals are improving,
for the moment we can do nothing with them , because Scooby is the legal
sequestrator of them, by the way I don’t know if it is the right word, is from
google translator, so for the moment they can’t be rehomed, we can do all the
needed vet treatments but no more and it can still delay a lot, meanwhile Said
is in Bullas feeding and taking care of
the sheep, goats, horse and one pig that are still there, he is coming back
soon, for the sheep and goats is going to be difficult to bring them here for
the moment because of bureaucratic problems , we are M4 and this place in
Bullas is M3 , it means that our animals are in a better health condition than
those in Bullas, but we cannot bring them for the moment, so we are looking for
a provisional solution for all of them, hopefully the other horse and the pig
can come this week with Said, also several galgos and podencos, the ones that
were in worst condition, are appearing
in the hills around Bullas and we are rescuing them , they are coming to Scooby
also this week, anyway what I wanted to tell you, until now our expenses have
been huge, to bring the animals, we needed to pay a truck for the horses , and
all the food, all the vet treatments for all of them and we cannot rehome them
yet; so we need money now and we are going to need money in the future to feed
them so please donate what you can. Thank you very much. Kisses , licks and
hugs from all of us. Fermín

Things that make me happy 1
Yesterday I was walking in the fields and I saw the
horses from Bullas, they are looking great, they already have several kilos
more, in fact they have eaten a lot of carrots , grass and straw, even there is
one, the smallest one that is following us everywhere like a dog and I have
already seen them jumping of joy, the ferrets are already set up , the feather
animals are doing ok and now they know that wheat , corn , grass is the right
food for them, there are so many small things that make me happy, that now I
feel I need to share it with you, by the way to have all of you behind the
computer make me absolutely happy. It is
a little bit ridiculous to write and write and having nobody on the
other side, thank you for being there. All the pictures that you send to us
with all the adopted dogs make me happy to see them in their new home so please
send more and more , to see how the little ducks are growing , even thinking
that many people thought that they were going to die and they have survived
thanks to our care. I am happy walking in the fields and looking at the
peaceful animals, I am happy about the rescue of Bullas and to see how all of
them are getting better and better every day, I am happy when we receive
donations because it means several things, one that you trust in our work and
you think that we should continue doing it in the future, I am sorry many times
about asking for money, some people they tell me that I don’t know how to cry
enough, that Scooby is doing a great job and we need to publicize more, anyway
I am happy even thinking that I always want more, this is it for now, kisses,
licks and hugs from all of us. Fermín

Raquel : our lawyer in Murcia.
I want to introduce you , Raquel, she is our
lawyer in Murcia with the case of neglected animals in Bullas, I have already
asked her for a CV so I can publish it on our site so all our supporters can
know what she has already achieved for the animals, after several conversations
with her I am absolutely convinced that she has the scooby point of view around
animal welfare and I think that we need to have her on our team, animal welfare is important to rescue the
animals, but also an important part is to prosecute the criminals and also to
try to get the laws implemented so one day we can say that Spain has laws for
protecting the animals and it doesn’t mind what specie we are talking about,
all of them need to be respected and all of them need to be protected. Waiting
for her CV , I must tell you that like every other creature she needs to eat ,
so she needs to get money and I think that we need to pay her some money, she
is always saying that all the money is for the animals and if there are some
left overs , then she can get some money, so my proposal is , if you think that
her work is important and you want to donate for paying her, please do it
through our accounts marking specifically that is for the lawyer. Kisses , licks
and hugs from all of us. Fermín
Scooby has opened a teaming group
At Scooby we are aware that the
abandonment and mistreatment of animals is a Spanish problem that their own
inhabitants need to resolve, but at the same time we now that we need the
support of as many people possible, and that without the international pressure
it would be a lot harder to change this situation. Making yourself teamer makes
it possible for you to help us cover the cost to take care of our animals
Scooby heeft een teaming groep
geopend.
Bij Scooby weten we dat het
achterlaten en mishandelen van dieren een Spaans probleem is dat door onze
eigen inwoners opgelost dient te worden, maar tegelijkertijd beseffen we dat we
de hulp van zoveel mogelijk mensen nodig hebben, en dat het zonder die
internationale druk een stuk moeilijker zou zijn om de situatie te veranderen.
Door jezelf lid te maken en teamer te worden maakt het mogelijk ons te helpen de
kosten te dekken om voor onze dieren te zorgen.

Volunteers at Scooby and the Pup Prevention Plan
Last
week a small group of Greyhound Compassion volunteers returned from the Scooby
shelter. As usual it was
overflowing with rescued animals, including at least 300 galgos. We spent a few days cleaning and feeding
the Scooby galgos and other residents. We spent a lot of time administering tick
and flea treatment. Then there were
the clinic patients whose recovery kennels needed cleaning. We gave these galgos
a gentle walk every now and then.
These convalescing galgos had either been neutered or, in the case of
three or four of them, were having their broken limbs repaired. They had come in, the victims of traffic
accidents.
The
recovery kennels are a recent and innovative development to the whole shelter.
Previously the only space for the convalescing animals had been a handful of
wooden kennels in the coldest and hardest to clean part of the shelter. These spanking new kennels are in a
brick built building with tiled flooring, insulation, warmth, lighting and
individual enclosures with a comfortable bed. They are also much easier to mop clean
than the previous kennels. Not only
is this much easier for staff and volunteers, even the patients look happier and
closer to recovery.
The
next stage of development, underway whilst we were there, is the construction of
a small laboratory to house the donated medical equipment which is highly
appreciated and is the result of some very helpful donations from veterinary
suppliers.
Pup Prevention Plan: a ground-breaking initiative
The
next big fund-raising project for Scooby, Greyhound Compassion and the galgo
rescue support groups in Europe is the Scooby ambulance. The ambulance will be manned by a Scooby
staff member and a vet. It will
travel deeply into the rural areas to pick up strays and to bring them back to
the shelter to be neutered and rehabilitated until they can be rehomed. The ambulance will also collect dogs
from consenting owners to neuter and treat them at cost in the Scooby
clinic. This is to prevent the
prevalance of puppies which so often are galgo mixes because so many galgos are
discarded and mingling with the stray dogs. The Scooby shelter, like other refuges,
found it so impossible to cope with the influx of puppies last year that
preventative measures have become vital.

Today is the day
Today I can
explain the whole history, here we go.
Last Mai I went on holidays to Murcia and somebody that I knew trough Facebook , Ger Canals, she
asked me for help in a hidden case of mistreatment of animals , that they were
investigating, so by causality I asked her where it was and it was in a village
close to Murcia , where I was on holidays, the village is Bullas, so I asked
her to meet and to go to see the
situation, while we were driving she told me that the man was already found
guilty of mistreating animals two years before and he was forbidden to keep
animals for three years, something that for sure he was contravening , so we went there to see
the animals and we could see, dogs, mainly podencos, horses sheep and goats
very skinny with dirty water and only chips for eating, yes only chips for all,
dogs, horses, sheep and goats.
After that
we had a meeting with the lawyer in charge of the case and scooby is part of
this court case , we are as complainants and also the judge has made us
official depositors of all the animals, that as far as I know we are bringing 7
pregnant mares, 50-60 galgos and podencos, 20 ferrets, and some time after 20
sheep and 20 goats, more or less, so today all our people is in Bullas, a track
for horses included , we are bringing the dogs , the horses and the ferrets,
and later for legal reasons we are
bringing the sheep and goats, hopefully we will go next week if we can get the
transport license for them.
And now I
need to ask you for a big effort, we need money , the expenses are going to be
huge, getting fat all the animals, we need to build a new and safe place for
the ferrets, vaccinating all of them , castrating and sterilizing all these
galgos and podencos plus the ferrets, like I told you before we don’t have
homes for podencos but I could not leave them behind, by the way it seems that
during the previous case the spectacle from some organizations was absolutely
deplorable, fitting for the best animals and leaving behind the supposedly
ugliest ones, more or less what happened in Alicante when Patricia died.
So we need
you again, we need money , homes for dogs, ferrets and maybe sheep, goats and
maybe horses, all of them count on you don’t let them down. Kisses , licks and
hugs from all of us. Fermín
