BBC Newsround glorifying greyhound racing

We've had an email from a young supporter saying that BBC Newsround has just featured a greyhound, called Jack... see below.... Please email and inform the BBC about the reality of greyhound racing.

As always be polite it's more effective and usually people are just ignorant of the true facts ... which can be found here and here .

Please refer them to www.greyhoundaction.org.uk/facts7.html and www.greyhoundaction.org.uk/facts2.html so they can see the truth for themselves and of course to our main site www.greyhoundaction.org.uk.

Super-fast dog smashes records (from CBBC Newsround website)

A super-fast greyhound called Jack is tipped for the top after winning 16 races and smashing four records in the last 12 months.
Jack, whose racing name is Barnfield on Air, is one of the fastest in his field and experts say he's favourite to win the English Derby in May.
Every morning he tucks into a breakfast of meat soup and sardines on toast.
And to keep up to speed, he has a gallop down a track at the bottom of his garden a few times a week.
Like most dogs he's walked everyday - unless it's raining when he trots on the running machine instead!
