SWAG is a coalition of GA groups in the south west, who have come together to close down the last two tracks in the area.

Following successful efforts to close the dog tracks at Newton Abbot and Glastonbury, local Greyhound Action branches in South-West England have formed a coalition to make the whole region a no-go zone for greyhound racing. South Devon Greyhound Action, Avon & Somerset Greyhound Action, Wiltshire Greyhound Action and our recently-formed Dorset branch have set up South West Action for Greyhounds (SWAG) to campaign for the closure of the two remaining south-west tracks, with the first target being Swindon. We are calling on all Greyhound Action supporters in the south-west of England to get behind the SWAG campaign. If you can help in any way, please contact SWAG at swagreyhounds@yahoo.co.uk or on 07968 857702. For more info on the Swindon track ... click here After the recent closure of the Glastonbury track a number of greyhounds were "disposed of" by trainers and SWAG supporters have been working with greyhound rescue groups in the area to care for and rehome these dogs. Funds are urgently needed to help these greyhounds and to assist the SWAG campaign in general. Please help with a donation, if you possibly can.
