Tesco Ireland are promoting greyhound/horse racing through part of their 'Clubcard Deals'. According to the Tesco Ireland website, customers can exchange their clubcard vouchers for leisure tokens which can be used towards going to 'A night at the dogs'. Tesco Ireland describes this in the following way "For a great night out with a difference why not try a night at the dogs." They are also promoting horse racing.

These promotions are totally unacceptable and Tesco Ireland needs to be informed as to why these promotions are in such bad taste ….help us stop the promotion and get an assurance it will not be repeated. Please be polite because people are more likely to listen.

WE NEED TO STOP GREYHOUND RACING PROMOTIONS AS THEY ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE CONTINUING ABUSE OF THOUSANDS OF DOGS WHO ARE DRUGGED, INJURED, MUTILATED AND KILLED BY THE INDUSTRY WORLDWIDE, ESPECIALLY IRELAND AND THE UK.
