  GREY2K USA: First 2009 Victory and a New Way to Help Greyhounds!  
 
 
 

Dear Friends:

Congratulations to board member Charmaine Settle for pushing back an attempt by greyhound trainers to revive greyhound racing in her home state of Colorado!

With just 48 hours notice, Charmaine and her husband Bill created a presentation for the legislative committee considering a bill to restore dog racing to Colorado. She also engaged representatives from the Rocky Mountain Animal Defense League, Colorado League of Humane Voters, Focus on the Family and the Humane Society of the United States to testify for the greyhounds. Thanks to these efforts a vote to advance HB 1095 failed.

It is because of your support that we are able to spring into action for the greyhounds wherever and whenever they need help.

If HB 1095 had passed, Mile High Greyhound Park might have re-opened and the cruelty of dog racing would have recommenced in Colorado. Thanks to Charmaine this will not happen and we will remain vigilant to ensure this harmful proposal is not revived.

We will continue to monitor

all racing states, past and present, for dangerous measures like these, designed to prop up a dying industry.

At GREY2K USA, we are committed to closing dog tracks nationwide. Donations are always needed for this important work, but another way you can help is by using our newly-designed GREY2K USA Visa card, offered through the CardPartner charity program.

There are five different designs to choose from, and every credit card purchase generates a new donation for the greyhounds. (The image above here was provided by one of our valued supporters, Maureen Lucas, of North Carolina—thank you, Maureen!)

You may open a new account or even transfer balances from a current account to obtain a GREY2K USA card.

Please sign up today!

 

For the greyhounds,
Christine Dorchak, Esq.
