Dear Greyhound Friends,


GREY2K USA joins with the leading animal welfare advocates to decry a proposal to send greyhounds racing in Ireland to foreign lands such as China.

According to published reports, the Irish Greyhound Board is considering allying with Chinese officials to bring dog racing to the People’s Republic of China. Clearly, this expansion of a cruel industry would cause greyhounds to suffer even more, both in transport and then while racing. These gentle dogs would subsequently face uncertain futures in countries where animal welfare laws may not even exist.

Please join with the animal welfare organizations like ARAN and Greyt Exploitations to send a strongly-worded letter to the officials below. Let them know that the cruelty of dog racing should end, not be expanded.

Mr. Simon Coveney, Minister of Agriculture

Mr. Barry Coleman, Welfare and Racing Operations Manager, Irish Greyhound Board
(barry.coleman@igb.ie)

Feel free to refer to our sample letter, sent today.
