@HebrideanHecate @Chronic-Yonic This happens in Spain a lot! But I doubt it does not happen just as much elsewhere. It is just that the Spanish rescues, many run by Brits and Germans, do air the 'dirty' laundry. A friend who has rescued donkeys and lives in Spain shared a post few years back where the rescue shared the story of a donkey they rescued who have been repeatedly raped (also with objects), beaten, and left for death. They actually managed to save its life, but the cost of operations for the fixing of its digestive and reproductive organs was huge. It was terrible.
I also saw many times that galgos especially (I have galgo from Spain hence following several rescues) are raped and murdered or raped, beaten and left for dead because they are such mild inoffensive dogs who do not fight and there are so many of them bred for hunting each year and hung after season (seriously, they just hung them from trees). Defo work of men, not women any of it.
Shit, I will not sleep now...
