Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 once I have finished scanning all the newspaper articles in I will host them on a new photobucket account and post a link here so that anyone who wants can see them I will be writing to my local MP as our local track ( Milton keynes ) is currently closed for refurbishment and due to reopen I think early next year , there are a huge number of trainers and breeders locally and yet we have very few rescue places in this area ( for any dog ) literally there are a couple of small self financed rescues in the outlying area with no more than 40 kennels between them our local RGT does not publicly home dogs in this area and does not have kennels ( that I know of ) so where do the ex racers go in this area when I have written to her regards other issues she has always been quick to reply so I hope this time she is the same Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kats n greys Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The best thing is to write to your own MP (e-mails work well these days, we have had a few replies from our MP about issues we've written to him on) as thet depend on you to get them elected + the more that ask questions the harder it is to ignore , I would also suggest sending Ben Bradshaw (Minister for Animal Welfare) and also Eric Martlew a copy (the power of the internet ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

our little godsend Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I know that there are a lot of posts regarding writing to mp's etc, which i'm sure a lot of us will do, but I wonder if a MOD would mind putting this post: You can vote on AOL - should Greyhound Racing be outlawed? at the moment the vote is 72% yes HERE into a thread of it's own purely because some people may have either not come into this thread or have not seen it I don't know how much effect the results will have, but it's literally only a click of the button to vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Wouldn't it be great to have a mass march..I wonder how many would turn up? I would Laura if you'd lend me a dog or 2. I'd like to join in with a mass march. I'd leave my blunties at home tho and borrow a couple of pointies if that would be possible. Eric Martlew is a fab bloke. His constituency is in a very pro-hunt part of the world yet he had the courage to stand up and denounce hunting and voted to ban it. My MP, Tony Cunningham, is very pro animal welfare and has always answered my e-mails. He and Eric Martlew have neighbouring constituencies so I shall write to both of them. I could do with some guidance on how the letter should sound - I waffle on and don't always get my points across very well. Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scipio Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 How many people would be interested in a march with their dogs? Me, although my greyhound is too old to come too (11+). It needs to be cooler too, perhaps in the Autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
