'It's horrifying and barbaric' Death in Paradise's Ralf Little on issue close to his heart
Death in Paradise.The actor has spoken out about Project Galgo, a charity that helps the horrific treatment of Spanish greyhounds, having recently raised £25,000 for stray dogs in the Caribbean himself.In connection with Love Your Pet Day, Ralf has organised for all of the funds raised from his Cameo appearances to go to Battersea Cats and Dog Home.Working with Project Galgo, Ralf has used his platform to send a message about the treatment of animals.Speaking about his work with Project Galgo and Cameo, he said: "I became a patron of Project Galgo after learning about the horrific treatment of Spanish greyhounds - 'Galgos' and 'Podencos'."There is a very cruel custom amongst some Spanish hunters, or 'Galgueros,' that destroys more than 50,000 Galgos every year, and many of these dogs are tortured (yes, literally tortured) if they were considered to hunt poorly over the season."The reasoning given is that the torture will 'wash away the shame' of having hunted badly."He continued: "Needless to say, it is horrifying and barbaric, and Project Galgo works tirelessly to fight this practice and rescue as many Galgos as they can."Visit projectgalgo.com to find out more about their work (but please be advised, it is distressing, which makes it all the more important)."Ralf also made sure to thank his fans, having been "overwhelmed" by his fan base since starting on Death in Paradise.He said: "I have been overwhelmed by how much the Death In Paradise fans have responded to my stint on the show, and doing this is a wonderful way to connect with them."I hope many of them will get in touch so I can say hi, give them a shout out, and together we can try and make a difference for these poor animals in desperate need."Ralf recently
