Tell WV Governor to Save Greyhounds!

Dear Friends,

 

A bill to phase out dog racing at two tracks and create a $1 million greyhound adoption trust fund is now on the desk of West Virginia Governor James Justice! The clock is ticking — please contact him now and urge him to sign SB 437 into law. The lives of thousands of greyhounds are hanging in the balance.

If you have already contacted the Governor, please do so again. The greyhound breeders are flooding his office each day!

 

Let him know that:
 
  • Greyhound cruelty should not be mandated and the current industry subsidies should instead be redirected to important state programs like education, health care and law enforcement.
     
  • Commercial dog racing is now illegal in 40 states. Republican Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona issued a press release in May when he signed his state’s legislation, stating that “It’s heartening to see that these beautiful greyhounds will soon be off the track and in loving homes.” The same can now happen in West Virginia!
     
  • Greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane. According to state records, more than 7,000 racing injuries have been reported at West Virginia dog tracks since 2008 — including 2,688 dogs that suffered broken bones and 376 greyhounds that died.

Check our Facebook page or our campaign page for all the news as we have it! The Governor has until Friday at Midnight EST to sign or veto our greyhound bill. 

For the greyhounds,
