Anarchist militants, Plaça Espanya, Barcelona. I guess summer of 1936. I don't know photographer.
In roughly that same period, around 25 people were killed by dogs in Spain
Besides dog owners, attacks many targeted vulnerable persons, mainly children and elders
And luckily there are very few feral dogs in Spain. In countries with many this is much worse

Agustí Centelles capturing the ideological complexities of revolutionary Barcelona. This CNT collectivised bus trundling past the Hotel Colon, controlled by the PSUC, Lenin there but above all Stalin watching down. Plaça Catalunya, 1936.
Street art, now gone, by the immensely talented @rocblackblock, based on an August 1936 photo of militia women on the Aragón front by Agustí Centelles and a Robert Capa photo of refugees fleeing Tarragona in January 1939. "Fascism never again" as it says.
Barcelona, 1860 with its sea walls still intact and Montjuïc denuded of trees, its castle stark and threatening. By Welsh photographer Charles Clifford, one of the first to work in Spain.
Yesterday, a kestrel hovering over Barcelona's Arc de Triumf, unbothered by the thousands of tourists and locals milling about below, I assume looking for a mouse, perhaps in the adjacent school yard. #iloveurbanwildlife

Probably for cellulose for high quality paper for bank notes & book printing. Would have been source of currency for desperate Republic during Spanish Civil War
Data on fins suggests that Spain's trawling fleet, mainly Galician, takes around million sharks a year." (2700 tons of shark fins a year, from the EU, almost all from Spain). All for export to Asia. One million...
Very nice to see La Satalia, our local football ground, home to the mighty Unió Esportiva Poble-sec (third Catalan division, 9th tier Spain), is on the front cover of this 1,000 iconic football grounds from around the world. The ground was founded in the 1936, just before the start of the war.
People killed in Spain during the same period 2007-2020. Wolves 0, Hunters 63. Fact is there are no proven registered deaths from wolves in Spain in recent history. Unlike feral or domestic dogs which certainly do kill humans... The former sometimes also confused with wolves too
El fallecimiento de una joven cerca de Zamora al ser atacada por cinco perros de un pastor de la zona se suma a la lista de muertes de este tipo en España desde el año
