Stop The Greyhound Slaughter!
Target:
20,000
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.

What we all NEED to do is put a stop to greyhound racing in this country once and for all, period! Spread the word and tell everybody you know about the cruel treatment that these amazing loving and beautiful creatures endure throughout their racing careers and how they are thrown out like garbage, put to death in unimaginable ways as early as 2 years old. All because they don't run fast enough anymore! Word of mouth is the most effective way of advertising and it's free. Do not patronize any of the tracks that are still racing dogs and tell your friends that do to STOP. Though we might not be able to get this message through the thick heads of the greedy old bastards that remain to be frequent patrons of these races, whom which enable these tracks to remain in operation today. There is a whole new way to go about this, and that is to start focusing on our youth. They say that our children are our future, right? So let's start educating children in schools around the country at an age where they can understand, when they can comprehend it all without being traumatized of course. It may take a couple of decades, but you know what? If the tracks do not have the spectators, they will not generate the revenues to remain open, which will lead to the closure of these tracks, and lastly what I find to be ultimately the final goal in conquering this shady industry. There will no longer be a demand for racing greyhounds and all the greyhound breeding farms will be forced to close their kennel doors. Thus saving 28,000 or more lives a year of unborn greyhound dogs that would otherwise be slaughtered because they cannot run fast enough to the bank to put money into the pockets of all the ignorant individuals that participate in this so called “sport”. Please if you can do anything to stop this unspeakable cruelty, DO IT. Every little bit will help, trust me!!!!! SAVE A LIFE…… ADOPT A RETIRED RACING GREYHOUND! You’ll be doing your life and heart a great favor.

I know greyhounds well- They are the most gentle, loving and wonderful breed there is. No one deserves to be exploited and then killed, least of all these magnificent, generous dogs.

I have fostered retired racers and have seen the effects of the abuse and neglect. These dogs never asked for such a life and don't deserved to be treated like disposable objects.

I have met many Greyhounds in my life and they are such a sweet animal. I believe that the sport of racing(any animal)is just cruel, awful, & inhumane. There is no reason why these dogs have to be slaughtered. What has this world come to.....isn't a dog supposed to be man's best friend......???

I have a wonderful ex racer called Gracie, who I completely adore. She's my second adopted Greyhound so far. They are beautiful, intelligent, loving and gentle creatures and I hope that some day racing will be banned. To think that they were treated with almost God-like reverence by ancient Egyptians and in the 15th century commoners were beheaded if caught with a greyhound in their possession.

We have adopted a greyhound an ex racer - I have "rescued" dogs in the past including a labrador who I adored - but I love this dog and he is the best thing and my partner who has never been a dog lover - he is sold. I woke up the other morning and my partner was out of bed and all I heard was "Tex I love you" it is a family joke. Please the word must be spread greyhounds are the best pets ever.

We have done enough to these dogs already! We make them run around a track for "our" amusement and then kill them after we are through with them; I'm feeling sick. We are the keepers of this world and it has been "our" job since the beginning, to take care of it and everything in it. |

Greyhounds are one of the sweetest most gentle breeds out there. To use their talent for speed as a way to make money and to 'throw them away' when they lose their money making abilities is inhumane and void of compassion and mercy. When we humans lose are ability to show mercy; we lose what it means to truly be human.

Brutality has no place in America -- please save these beautiful, loving creatures by regulating greyhound racing and preventing their brutal slaughter...
