Dear Friends,
As for the dogs that make it to the track, the Irish Greyhound Board’s report finds that the racing pool of 3,600 dogs rotates twice per year and the average dog’s racing life is under seven months. Approximately 15,000 pups are bred each year so that the industry produces 1,000% more greyhounds each year than is actually required, creating a humane nightmare.
The dog racing industry has no shame! Please sign our petition to Irish Minister of State Andrew Doyle and Minister of Agriculture Michael Creed and tell them that it is time to end the cruelty and waste of dog racing.
You may also email them directly below or contact them on Twitter and/or Facebook:
