Hundreds of people from across the UK and their Spanish rescue dogs took part in a march on Saturday from the Spanish Embassy to Trafalgar Square in London, demanding an end to hunting with dogs in Spain, where up to a massive 100,000 hunting dogs are cruelly killed or abandoned at the end of the season every year. The podenco and galgo breeds of Spain are not recognised as pets by the country’s animal welfare laws as they are merely regarded as ‘hunting tools’, which has earned these dogs the moniker of ‘the invisible dogs of Spain’. Every February, when the hunting season in Spain ends, Spanish animal rights group Plataforma NAC () calls for peaceful demonstrations across Europe, demanding an end to hunting in Spain and in particular hunting with dogs.
