Last Monday, the 26th of January the Sociedad Protectora de
Animales y Medio Ambiente Scooby received a call from the local Salamanca
Police to pick up a dog which was found in a container. When our coworker Jesé
arrived there, he found a galgo of 4 months in a sack. At first sight it
was difficult to see if they had shot him or not, because the wound were
unclear. He was quickly taken to a
clinic in Zamora
where today he is fighting for his life with a very pronounced hypothermia.
After the evaluation by the vet it was confirmed that the wounds were cause by
bites and not from being shot. We at
Scooby, without being able to confirm it, we think that this dog was used for
dogfights, and that is where his wounds come from. The person (to give it a name) that
deliberately threw him in the container knew perfectly well he was committing a
crime. All of us at Scooby are confident that this brave soul will recover,
although it looks complicated. We will keep you informed.
