Guest Lou.Crowley Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 For the greyhounds at least, it isn´t as simple as “first past the postâ€Â. No matter how hard they try, how fast they run, ultimately they will be the losers. So who are the winners in this sport? The Winners! • the greyhound industry as a whole, which generates enormous annual profits. • The owners of the best registered dogs, who profit from prizes • The registered dog owners who can sell the best dogs on to the independent sector, once they have no further use for them. The Losers! • the puppies killed because they won´t make the grade as a racer. • The thousands and thousands of greyhounds racing in the independent sector whose welfare is not regulated. • The dogs kept in appalling, dirty, cramped conditions. • The injured greyhounds, many of whom go untreated. • The dogs abandoned or killed when they can´t run fast enough to win a race. How can you make a difference to the dogs, and help the greyhounds become the winners? Sign our petition on http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-the-...hound-slaughter . We are aiming for 20,000 signatures to present our protest to Governments around the globe in March 2008. Better still, make one special dog a winner! Adopt a greyhound and you will gain a loyal and rewarding pet. Your dog will then be the ultimate winner with the best prize of all – a long and happy life!
