VICTORY! Last dog race held in Arkansas on Saturday

Dear Friend,

Today we have stunning news. The only operational dog track in Vietnam has been ordered to close.

Read the happy news

Early last year, we asked you to write to the President and other officials in Vietnam about the cruelty of racing. We let you know that the track’s license was about to expire and that now was the time to act! Your efforts have paid off and Lam Son Stadium must now suspend operations by March 2023. But just like the Canidrome in Macau, there has never before been an adoption program for any of the greyhounds.

So today, we have a new mission. The Lam Son Stadium is located in a remote part of the country where there is also a breeding center. There are reportedly 190 dogs on site.

Please sign our petition to the President and key ministers asking that all remaining dogs be released for adoption. Please also join us in sending a personal letter to each. Let’s do everything we can to ensure that the last greyhounds are saved.

  • President of Vietnam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc thongtinchinhphu@chinhphu.vn
  • Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh trangtin@mard.gov.vn
  • Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyễn Van Hung banbientap@bvhttdl.gov.vn
  • Minister of Trade Nguyễn Hong Dien DienNH@moit.gov.vn
  • Vice Minister of Finance Nguyễn Duc Chi bbt@moit.gov.vn

Together, we can protect these last dogs. Please sign our new petition and stay tuned for news on how you can help with rescue efforts as March approaches.

For the greyhounds,

Christine Dorchak signature
