GREYHOUND ACTION INFORMATION: ( rollover an arrow to find out more about the contents of that section)
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
.jpg) Greyhound Action was formed in 1997 with the ultimate aim of putting an end to greyhound racing. There are many other groups which are dedicated to finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds, but in practical terms it is only possible to re-home a very small percentage of the vast number of greyhounds disposed of every year by the greyhound racing industry. Therefore the total abolition of greyhound racing is the only real solution. Greyhound
Action is seeking to educate the public about the dark side of
greyhound racing, so that support for this so-called “sport”
withers away. We are also attempting to put pressure on the government
to ban greyhound racing We know it will take a long battle to achieve such a ban, but it is not an impossible aim, as the abolition of dog racing in several American states has shown. As part of our campaign, a petition calling for a ban on greyhound racing has been produced, as well as leaflets, posters, badges and stickers. We also supply information to both local and national media and have been involved in campaigns (most of which of which have been successful) to stop the building of greyhound tracks both in this country and abroad and to end EU grants to Irish greyhound breeders. In
addition, we act as a central contact point for people who want
to give JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN!.. ..by doing whatever you can to educate the public not to support greyhound racing. This can be done through street stalls, writing letters to newspapers and doing interviews in the local media. Demonstrations can be held outside greyhound tracks and leaflets distributed to those attending greyhound races and betting shops. If you would like to do any of the above, please contact us and we will send you whatever information and campaign materials you require. We are also looking for volunteers to do research for us on the internet and elsewhere. If you feel you can help in this way, please let us know.
