Greyhounds and Galgos
are primarily used for hunting and track-racing, they are gentle, docile,
sweet and patient dogs. After 1 to 3 seasons these dogs are sometimes
discarded in a horrendous way. In Spain they are hung by their neck in
trees, burnt with gasoline, buried alive or towed by a speeding car until
they are dead. If they are lucky they are released in the streets where
they are likely to be run over by cars. These 'strays' are occasionally
caught and brought to the dog-pound or a shelter.
