For greyhounds in Spain, the end of hunting season in late February doesn’t mean time for play, but instead marks the end to their short, sad lives. Animal rights organizations have aptly-named this yearly occurrence the “greyhound holocaust,” where 50,000 greyhounds are either brutally killed or abandoned each year by owners who no longer need them for hunting purposes. But international charities are attempting to make a permanent stop to this unbelievably cruel behavior; calling on you to help save the lives of these intelligent, lovable hunting dogs.
