THE BACKGROUND STORY...

These atrocities are happening in countries that undertake greyhound racing. In the UK alone 40,000 greyhounds are disposed of every year by the racing industry.

Due to the over breeding and short racing 'careers' there is a surplus of greyhounds with the majority of the dogs being killed.

Extremely cruel methods such as drowning, shooting, beating are commonplace. Greyhounds have been found mutilated with their ears chopped off to prevent identification of the owner through the ear tattoo.

Thousands of puppies that fail the grade are routinely killed. The lucky dogs end up being abandoned but with little hope of finding a home even though greyhounds are naturally docile and affectionate dogs and given the chance they make wonderful pets.

Greyhound racing has been recognised as a cruel sport and banned in 6 states in the USA and in South Africa with growing opposition in other countries.

The World Greyhound Racing Federation the ruling body of world wide racing and private corporations have began to promote and introduce greyhound racing in Asia.

The dogs are being exported from Australia with racing and breeding already underway in Vietnam, Macau, China and more recently in Korea.

They further plan on creating a network of tracks throughout Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. These are countries notorious for the barbaric torture and slaughter of dogs for human consumption. At present this is the fate greyhounds in Asia unless we stop them.
