Spain to Italy: Horses transported for 46 hours before slaughter
Millions of animals are suffering unnecessarily at the hands of meat traders by enduring cruel, drawn-out journeys across the world to be slaughtered on arrival. The alarming evidence of their suffering has been revealed after a secret investigation by 10 major animal charities, including the RSCPA, Compassion in World Farming and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA). In shocking footage, animals including horses, pigs, sheep and chickens are seen being transported thousands of miles across the world, when they could as easily be carried as meat.

Living in Spain?
Can you help?
We want to get the Spanimal.org message out to all parts of Spain, therefore we need individuals who can spare a few hours each month printing-out and distributing Spanimal flyers to their local veterinary practices, pet shops, libraries, supermarket notice-boards and other public buildings.
Click on the image to view PDF file (115KB) or right click and "save target as" to save to your hard disk.
As Spanimal.org is created and run by volunteers, we offer no pay. However, for those who want to help make a difference to Spain's "unwanted" animal population, we have no doubt that our four-pawed companions extend their gratitude. Please do let us know where you have posted Spanimal flyers in your area.

Hasta ahora muchas organizaciones y personas han utilizado el Internet para comunicar sus objetivos y para encontrar hogares para animales abandonados pero muchas veces tienen pocos recursos. Con el apoyo de
TEFL.com, Spanimal.org ha construido una base de datos automática que se ofrece gratis a todas los organismos que cuidan a los animales abandonados en España y que quieren ofrecerlos para su adopción. No vamos a aceptar anuncios pagados en Spanimal.org y el servicio que ofrecemos es totalmente gratuíto.
Como puede ayudar Spanimal.org...
Para permitirnos mantener este servicio totalmente gratis, el sistema de Spanimal.org es completamente automático. Cualquier organización que se dedique a cuidar animales abandonados en España, sólo tiene que inscribirse con nosotros en www.spanimal.org/org/reg.html. Recibirá su propia contraseña para permitir acceso a su página en Spanimal.org. Allí puede poner sus fotos digitales de los animales en adopción y sus datos pertinentes. Sus fotos e información aparecerán en la página web en seguida.
¿Cómo se promociona Spanimal.org?
Spanimal.org se promociona extensivamente en las páginas web de sociedades protectoras nacionales e internacionales y en varias otras páginas. También publicaremos una carta de noticias cada semana con fotos e información de los animales en adopción.

 What is Spanimal.org? |
Spanimal.org is a bilingual (Spanish version coming shortly, translation volunteers please contact us), online database which has been created to fulfill the urgent need for a central animal adoption network to serve all animal welfare organisations in Spain. With the growth of the internet in Spain, many animal welfare organisations and individuals have embraced the medium both to promote the aims of their organisation and to locate homes for some of Spain's unwanted domestic pets.
Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, most of these organisations and individuals have lacked the resources to develop an automated online animal database and instead, have had to rely on web-savy volunteers to develop basic web sites, frequently having to work within the constraints of free web space provided by internet service providers.
Through the support of TEFL.com, Spanimal.org has developed a state-of-the-art database adoption system which will be available free of charge to all organisations and individuals connected with animal welfare in Spain. We have no plans to accept advertising at Spanimal.org and the site will remain free to all.
How Spanimal.org will work for you...
To enable us to maintain a completely free service, the Spanimal.org system is totally automated. If you are an animal welfare organisation or an individual caring for some of Spain's stray animal population (there is no need for you to be a registered charity), all you need to do is register with us at www.spanimal.org/org/reg.html. You will be issued with your unique password to enable you to access your account.
All you will then need is a digital camera and an internet connection to enable you to upload photographs of the animals in your care along with the relevant information to your Spanimal.org account. As our database is in "real-time", your photographs and data will be published online instantly.
Individuals seeking to adopt a pet, will simply browse the online database for animal welfare centres and animal carers in their locality. They will then make contact with the adoption centre either using the Spanimal.org online enquiry form or by telephone. For privacy, e-mail addresses will not be published.
How is Spanimal.org promoted?
The Spanimal.org resource is promoted extensively via national and international animal welfare websites, Spain tourism and expatriate websites. In addition, we will be publishing a free newsletter featuring photographs and information on the latest animals added to the database.
