Almost 6,000 greyhounds, some just one year of age, are killed each year according to a newly-unearthed internal report by the Irish Greyhound Board. Many young hounds are sent to the country’s commercial slaughterhouses to be shot to death and dumped, according to a new program that is airing on RTÉ News.
Because the dog racing industry found its 2017 report to be “too commercially sensitive” to share, it was hidden from public view and only shown to the government last month! The reasons for killing innocent young hounds were identified as follows: “those who failed to produce qualifying times” (2,673), “failure to produce desired entry level times” (1,989) and “an unacceptable decline in performance (1,326).
Puppies bred for racing in Ireland.
The dog racing industry has blood on its hands! Please email Irish Minister of Agriculture Michael Creed at michael.creed@oireachtas.ie and demand that dog racing end now. If you use social media, please also send him a message on Facebook and Twitter.
