Take action to stop dog racing in India!

Dear Friends,

This is an urgent request.

Our friends at the Animal Welfare Board of India have alerted us to a renewed threat. Illegal dog races are again taking place in Punjab, a state in northern India. Read the latest news here.

The Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations and Blue Cross of India have argued for years against dog racing. But despite Supreme Court guidance prohibiting the exploitation of animals and in violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, there are those who are ignoring the law.

We must act fast to stop this illegal activity, once and for all.

You can help by writing to the Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh now. Ask him to block any and all efforts to authorize greyhound races, and let him know that other states and countries are ending dog racing, not starting it up! Please see our example letter for more information.

Send an email

Please email cmo@punjab.gov.in now. Let him know that greyhound racing is a dying industry worldwide which is inherently cruel to dogs. Then, once you have sent an email, increase your impact by signing and sharing our petition to end illegal dog racing in India. When first invented in the United States in the early 20th century, it could not be foreseen that hundreds of thousands of dogs would suffer and die. Now we know and must stop it in its tracks.

Sign the petition

The good news is that there is a strong fight to close down dog tracks across the globe and commercial greyhound racing is now illegal in 188 of 195 countries. Let’s make sure that India supports this trend.

For the greyhounds,
