On January 6, a man who was having motor troubles tossed a stray part from his vehicle into a nearby well, upon which he heard the sound of dogs from within the well.

A rescue group went to the well, and with the help of the fire department, were able to save 5 Galgos that were left to die. The rescue was very difficult, but fortunately the 5 dogs don�t have serious wounds. They are in bad condition - dehydrated and underfed. It is reported that the smell was awful - the rescue group believes many Galgos died in there. 

All of the dogs have tattoos in their ear.  There has been at least one report of galgos being stolen recently in that area.

The owner pleaded guilty and the judge sentenced him (to be confirmed) to:

- 3 months in prison

- a hunting prohibition for 2 years

- a � 1.200,- fine

- responsibility for the costs of the court case and the costs made by Scooby

- responsibility for the costs we have made since January for medical treatment and care for the dogs.
