Brindlebabe Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Greyhound dumped with ears cut off Yet more distressing news of a mutilated greyhound found on February 14th which had been dumped on wasteland near the village of Iron Acton. Iron Acton, on the outskirts of Bristol, is situated less than 30 miles from Swindon dog track – a licensed stadium. Not only had this poor greyhound’s ears been hacked off – to prevent the tracing of the last registered owner – the greyhound was heavily pregnant with six pups. The RSPCA are hoping someone will recognise the dog, who is black with white markings under her chin and a white blaze between her forelegs, as well as two white spots on her throat. RSPCA inspector John Atkinson said: This is a very distressing incident for all involved and we are investigating every possible avenue. If any member of the public saw people dumping the dog, or knows of a dog answering this description, I would urge them to contact the RSPCA at once. We would ask all supporters to highlight not only this disgusting crime but also the exploitation of racing of greyhounds by writing to the Bristol Evening Post [email protected] Please enclose a link to this video, which graphically depicts greyhounds who have been subjected to the same fate and also this video which epitomises the attitude of those involved in racing towards their greyhounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAYRrj2PuKI To read the full article and leave your comments – please click here http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/homepage/Gr...il/article.html Thank you, as always for your continued support www.greytexploitations.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindlebabe Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Can You Help in Hunt to Find Greyhound Cruelty Offenders? Posted: 12 Mar 2009 02:52 PM PDT Specially produced leaflets will be handed to greyhound trainers and members of the public attending the races asking them to come forward regarding the recent case of the pregnant greyhound found dumped near Bristol with her ears cut off. “This dog had distinctive markings and someone must know who she belonged to?†said Gina Harris, area co-ordinator for Avon & Somerset Greyhound Action. “There are not that many greyhound trainers left in the South West. We will be handing leaflets to people asking them to have a heart for this poor dog and come forward with any information. The person that killed & mutilated this dog needs to be prosecuted. The sad thing is that there are lots of animal rescue charities in this area and if the owner had bothered to make one phone call this dog & her pups would have been found a loving foster home.†This is not the first time that greyhounds have been killed and had their ears cut off to hide their racing tattoos. Owners do this so they cannot be traced and taken to court.†In 2004 a trainer from South Wales was prosecuted & sent to prison after being found guilty of cutting the ears off a greyhound called Rusty and leaving him for dead on a mountainside. We will have rescued greyhounds outside the track in the hope that this will pull a few heart strings. Swindon Greyhound track is the closest dog track to where the dead dog was found so we hope that people will support our search for the killer.
