I Celebrate The Day Of Spanish Hunting Dogs By Photographing Them Enjoying Their Life Of Freedom
Hi, my Name is Marcus Gier and I am a hobby-dog photographer from Cologne in Germany. I love to photograph dogs, especially the Spanish Galgo.
Every year in Spain thousands of Galgos (the Spanish sighthound) are breed and born for hunting. As soon as the galgos are no longer useful for hunting, they are disposed of in an awful and painful way. They are brutally killed, hung on trees, burned alive, or otherwise tortured. The World Galgo Day is a day where all of us can give a voice to the spanish dogs and give them attention.
My way and voice for the Galgo are to show you some of the rescued Spanish Galgos and their enjoyment of life.

I like how its eyes kinda look in different directions and its jaw looks like it is dropping! It is so cute!
People in Spain sure love to hung them on tree, 3,000 Spanish festivals involve animal cruelty every year, they don't give a f**k about as long as they have their own entertainment. They should all go to hell.
All these dogs are so cute. But why wouldn’t you give them away to a shelter instead of killing them when they no long serve a purpose for you, I don’t get it. If you want a dog, you have to take care of it all the time not just when you feel they’re making you money... it’s a shame human have to treat animals like that.
Thank you for sharing the story of the Galgos and showing off their goofy personalities.
My mother rescued a podenko she found hurt and abandoned in the countryside in Spain. He's THE most beautiful natured dog. Anyone thinking of adopting one - DO IT!
