Spain to give rights to pets

[Catherine]

Once pets have rights then the question of the status of Galgos will come up. Are they pets or are they livestock. There are laws preventing the cruel killing of animals. Even is slaughter is poorly regulated, the way Galgos are treated would not be allowed. If the Galgos are not livestock then they would be pets. They would be protected. The abandonment and cruel killing would not be allowed.

Bull fighting is going to take more time, but once you recognize the right of some animals it becomes harder to treat other animals badly.

I do hope this law is passed and that it has the effect of eventually protecting all animals.
