Spanish Galgos
A dog’s life in Spain
Galgos', is the name of hunting dogs in Spain. They are beautiful Spanish greyhounds, with tragic fates. At the end of the hunting season, many galgos are no longer needed and tens of thousands are brutally dumped or murdered every year. Usually they are tied to a tree and left, or just thrown into a well.

It is inconceivable and disgusting that this is still happening today. WAP (World Animal Protection) has launched a campaign to make the public aware of these practices so that we can all take action to stop them. WAP has asked us for the concept and visualization. Together with illustrator Ferdy Remijn we came up with a catchy image to serve as the linchpin for the campaign.
Animatie
With Urrebuk (animation and video) we developed three short animated films that bring the rotten life of the Galgos to our attention in short, yet powerful messages. In 2017, the WAP was able to send a strong signal to Spain with more than 100,000 Dutch signatures. We really hope that this senseless cruelty and suffering will stop soon!
