Stop The Greyhound Slaughter!
Target:

Sponsored by:
Show support for the process of adopting greyhounds when they retire and voice our objections to their needless slaughter.
FACT: Greyhound racing is not a regulated sport in that when greyhounds retire, the owners are free to do whatever they want with them.
FACT: The greyhound life expectancy is lower than any other breed, and not as a result of natural causes.
FACT: In the UK alone, 40,000 greyhounds are needlessly slaughtered every year.
FACT: These practices occur in Australia, Sweden, the USA, the UK, France, Germany, South Korea, Ireland, Spain, China and countless other countries aroud the world.
FACT: Puppies that are not good enough to race are mindlessly slaughtered before their first birthday.
Greyhound racing is carried out for the entertainment of millions all over the world. We marvel at the beautiful and yet powerful creatures when they race around a track, and yet they apparently have no real value to us.
We as a race should be looking after their welfare when they retire, as we do the elderly members amongst us. After retirement age, people tend to live quiet and happy lives, watching their families grow up and expand, but that is not the case with greyhounds.
When they have fulfilled their apparent duty, we dispose of them as if they were no more than household rubbish.
In others words, when they are no longer useful and cannot do something for us, we brutally slaughter them. At age four or five, many greyhounds are dead and the blood is on our hands.
After all, would you brutally murder your relatives when they pass retirement age and can no longer earn money?
No? Didn't think so, so why are we allowing this inhumane and unbelievably cruel practice to continue?
It is time to stop this mindless violence and give one of the most gentle and loving breeds on Earth a chance to live.
The aims of this cause are to highlight the plight of greyounds and encourage people to take them in as household pets.
We also want to join the fight to make the global voice heard so that the greyhund industry has no other choice but to regulate its practices.
This petition will be sent to various governments around the world as well as sporting bodies in March 2008, so please add your signature today.

We, the undersigned, actively voice our objections to the lack of regulation in greyhound racing.
The amount of greyhounds slaughtered as a result is truly appaling and it is about time that this issue was sorted out once and for all.
Too long these poor creatures have suffered at our hands, so please take the time to read our objections and do what you can to help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter and the petition.

I have rescued 5 Greythounds.....the loyalty given by this best of all pets caomes perhaps from the fact that you have rescued them from the most heinous of all crimes against animals. Senselessly slaughtered if they can't earn enough for the owner. Nothing but a piece of meat. Shame on all of you.
# 1,748:
This is my second rescue greyhound sadly my first passed away I have just started helping to promote greyhound awarness from greyhound action scotland if I could I would have the tracks banned these dogs have such a big heart and have so much to offer im totally against crooks racing these big hearted dogs and what some of them do to them when they are no longer good to them is dredfull this must be stoped

I have 3 greyhounds and I love them so much. I think just slaughtering greyhounds if they don't do well is cruel and unnecessary.
# 1,744:
This needs to stop. This is cruel and disgusting. Greyhounds are such wonderful and loving dogs. NO TO SLAUGHTER, YES TO RESCUE & ADOPTION OF GREYHOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
# 1,743:
slaughtering greyhounds is cruel. and anyone who slaughters grehounds or any animal on purpose must be demented in someway. i think that slaughtering greyhounds like that should be illegal. STOP GREYHOUND SLAUGHTER!!! STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!

I think THESE ARE CRAZY, CRULE, UNKIND, VINDICTIVE, NASTY, UNTHAUGHTFUL ACTIONS! How can you lot not bother to give these poor creatures proper vetenary care, food, drink, looking after!When these dogs make YOU ALL so much money it's the least YOU can do, and you DUMP these dogs, IF NOT KILL THEM ALL TOGETHER, when their 'career' is up! These dogs have heart attacks IF they're LUCKY, if not, they suffer. You all shud be locked in cages, for the rest of your lives. When you lose we'll beat you, when you need medical care, we'll just leave you. When your stomach is in so much pain from hunger, we will starve you more! Then, when you can't run any more, we'll just uthinise you, or just dump you and leave you to die in the cold winter nights! it's only what you diserve, and if I, and alot of other people ever met you, or found out who you were, then god help you! One day I hope these dogs turn on all of you, and rip you to shreds.....hopefully you'll still be alive for a while to feel the pain! treat living animals and others how you wish to be treated, these dogs DO have feelings!They DO SUFFER from depression, and therefore FEEL PAIN! YOUR ALL SICK!

i think that grayhound racing is ok aslong as the dog is well looked after but they should no way be slaughted. i think thats discusting & it should stop now, they are leavin breathin creatures like us
# 1,715:
Greyhounds were once owned only by noble men. That is clearly not the case now. I dont know how peopel can bet money and breed hounds, knowing the cruelty.Shame on you people, you are disgusting.
# 1,714:
The only noble beings at a racetrack are the ones who should not be there:the greyhounds.The only noble beings at a research lab are the ones who do not deserve to be there:the animals,be these rabbits,dogs,cats or whatever.The only noble beings at a slaughterhouse,a fur farming facility,a factory farming site ,a circus,a zoo and any other place where animals are exploited and abused to death are the ones who should not be there(and who wouldn`t be there at all if humans were just a bit better):the animals.And the only ones who would deserve to be saved in case of disaster in those places would be the animals.

# 1,712:
STOP DOGS AND HORSES RACING, STOP DOGS FIGHTING, MAKE THEM OUT OF LAW WITH EXTREMELY STRONG PUNISHMENT. STOP INDISCRIMINATE BREEDING AND NEW RACES CREATION FOR BUSINESS, EXPERIMENTS AND BETS.

# 1,710:
Why is this "culture" SO disrespectful of life!! Specifically - animals. The word "dispose" should never be used in the same sentence as any living creature, particularly with the innocent ones.
# 1,709:
# 1,708:
This sport must come to an end.
# 1,707:
The way these animals are being used/treated is disgusting. A person who has become THAT desensitized to an animal, could easily become/be a murderer or child abuser next. IT MUST BE STOPPED.

# 1,704:
# 1,703:
Dog racing should be banned. This is the only way to stop these greedy men and women from being allowed to use dogs in such a way. What kind of person could treat an animal so poorly. Shame on you.

Dogs are sensitive, intelligent and affectionate creatures. Much better than many humans! Cruelty against dogs requires very harsh punishment!
