Other groups working for greyhounds:

Greyhound Action and Greyhound Action international are not the only groups working to help greyhounds and expose the cruelty inherent in the greyhound racing industry. Here is a list of useful links to other groups such as campaigns, sanctuaries, greyhound rescue and rehoming groups etc.

Although Greyhound Action is a greyhound protection group, we are aware that many other animals suffer death and persecution at the hands of the human species and we see ourselves as part of the general animal rights movement which wishes to put an end to all animal abuse and exploitation. For this reason we are publishing a list of websites of other animal rights/protection groups. If you wish to learn more about how other animals are persecuted - and how you can help to stop their suffering - we would encourage you to visit some or all of these sites. Click here to visit our list of animal rights/protection groups

If you know of a link that you think should be included here, please feel free to e-mail it to us.

If you would like to add a link to Greyhound Action to your site, feel free to use either of the logos to your left (simply right click and save to your hard drive).
