Brindlebabe Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 01.02.10 On December 22nd, a concerned volunteer from a local rescue centre – Tony Locke - emailed greyhound protection groups asking for help and advice regarding four greyhounds kept in filthy conditions on a council allotment. The dogs are confined to a small muddy area, strewn with rubbish and dangerous objects and fed on what can best be described as ‘runny porridge’. One greyhound can be seen unable to place any weight on her hind leg and another dog is completely bald on his hind legs and underbelly. We have no way of knowing what bedding - if any - has been provided inside the sheds and despite Workington experiencing sub zero temperatures of minus 6ºC and heavy snow falls throughout January – the dogs have never been seen wearing coats or jackets.

Yantan Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've been on these allotments and they are not a pretty sight. Lots and lots of dogs kept there tho some are adequately cared for and provided with appropriate shelter. A local rescue have their kennels there. As an Allerdale council tax payer I will send some emails out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I commented on DP as to what does constitute a welfare issue in some Councils eyes but as an after thought have you already tried the RSPCA too or was that just another dead end?
