West Va. – Animal Torture to Train Racing Greyhounds

It seems not a day goes by that somewhere some racing greyhound or greyhound in training doesn’t suffer some horrible crime on this planet.

Five people (thank you) sent me the link to this next article and I’m glad you’re reading and sharing and keeping up the good fight against greyhound racing.

It seems there is some despicable sub-human in West Virginia who uses live bait to train dogs. Like greyhound racing, using live bait is inhumane but in West Virginia it’s also illegal to use  rabbits, jack-rabbits, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, and piglets. It’s a felony, no less, but nobody is ever prosecuted.

Racing greyhounds trained on live bait have a competitive edge on the track. They’re also harder to place because they have an insatiable prey drive.

Read the article. It will make you sick and angry.

My greatest wish for these sub-humans other than putting their testicles in a tourniquet upon their deathbed is for them to hear all the screams and smell all the odors of all the animals they ever tortured.

R.I.P. not!

Stop Greyhound Racing in Phillipines

The Phillipines would be another international greyhound racing holocaust.

Read this article where a politico is saying there’s nothing cruel about greyhound racing.

In another article, a politico is saying that when the racing career of dogs is over the dogs can be watch dogs or police dogs. Clueless about greyhounds.

Their minds are not made up yet but they think this will boost tourism. All it will do is boost bloodshed and animal cruelty.

Greyhound Crusaders/SWAP team UK are EXTREMELY concerned about the Phillipines introducing greyhound racing to their country. We have already done several international appeals on this and we are asking for your help once again please.

They are asking all our national and international supporters to please write to the authorities below urging them not to introduce greyhound racing. We cannot imagine the fate of these poor dogs and it is imperative we do everything within our power to stop this.

Please give them this website address www.greyhoundaction.org.uk so they can see the plight of the racing greyhound in the UK. Educate them on the mass suffering and slaughter of greyhounds that are used simply as disposable commodities.

Please tell them that Jamaica has refused to have greyhound racing in their country and that they should follow suit as greyhound racing is frowned upon worldwide and will damage their public relations if they go ahead with it.

Greyhound racing is already in decline in many parts of the world as more and more people learn through educational campaign’s that this is a cruel sport. Please tell them we are in the 21st century and using animals for human entertainment must be confined to the history books.

Phillipine Tourism authority- info@philtourism.gov.ph
president of the Republic of the Philippines with the online form below, please keep all correspondence polite.

Please write a polite message and explain that greyhound racing is a cruel sport where animals still die and there are other more humane ways to promote tourism.

 Our hero Muhatma Ghandi once said: The future depends on what we do in the present and The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Wise words from dear ‘Ghandi’ who lost his precious life trying to change the world, therefore let’s do all we can to follow his dream. Thank you for your support, each and everyone of us makes the difference.

If you want more email addresses, please send a message to the email link in the top border and we’ll provide.

Thank you. This is urgent.
