Many rescued Galgos here are re-homed in Belgium, the Belgians appear to be very fond of them.


I would also like to see an end to donkey rides, camel rides and elephant rides.

Re: Greyhound Racing to be Banned

It would seem that greyhound racing is losing popularity in the UK as many stadiums have closed down over the years. The Walthamstow stadium which is close to where I live, shut down a few years ago, and housing is being built on the site.

Horses ?

Any problems with cats, which roam by nature, being forced to spend their lives indoors ?
Dogs muzzled and/or on leashes are OK - or even "caged" within the confines of a human's yard ?

Couldn't agree more Longdogs. Especially those little donkeys who struggle with great big fat adults on their backs, disgusting, or kids on beaches, kicking their sides all day long to make them move.
I have loved donkeys since childhood, and still do.
