![]() Dear Friends, Today was a big day in the fight against dog racing in Scotland!
First, our friends at Scotland Against Greyhound Exploitation launched a bold new petition to shut down Shawfield and Thornton stadiums and prohibit dog racing once and for all in beautiful Alba. Please sign and share widely! SAGE Founder Gill Docherty wrote:
We need legislative change to ban racing in our country, to tackle the high number of injuries, deaths and positive drug tests seen in this industry, and to reflect the lack of public support for this unsavoury use of animals for human entertainment and gambling profit. Please sign and share our petition far and wide. Anyone can sign! ![]() Christine Dorchak with Amber of Scotland. Meanwhile, Gill Donn of Say No to Greyhound Racing in Scotland hosted a rally at Holyrood (Parliament) with special guests Deputy Leader of the Animal Welfare Party Jane Smith, Tamzi Moe Kaur of Greyhounds, Many Nations, One Voice, John Patrick of Scotland for Animals and GREY2K President Christine Dorchak. Fifty advocates from multiple groups came out for the greyhounds today!
Finally, please don't forget that Brooklyn's Auction ends on Monday at 12 noon ET. This time, we are offering unique and valuable pieces of art, vintage jewelry, doggy apparel, car magnets and more. My mother Ramona has even donated one of her special greyhound paintings! Please be generous with your bids because funds are in great need for our growing campaigns in the US and worldwide.
For the hounds,
