A few days ago there were some postings regarding birding in Spain.
Although the birding may be great, some readers might find the Spanish
government's refusal to end the barbaric killing of hunting dogs, to be a
disincentive to travel there. The following BBC article tells of the
particularly cruel practice of hanging of dogs at the end of the season, and
of the terrible conditions in which they live the rest of the time.
