Greyhound Racing’s Sad Casualties And More Animal Violations At Shelbourne Park![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dog slaughter at Shelbourne Pk track as dog finishes race with Broken Hock. The Alliance for Animal Rights group AFAR wish to condemn the IGB who are fully responsible for the serious injuring of Four healthy Greyhounds who were made race at the ETS Derby in Shelbourne Park last week. All of these dogs were badly injured at the track, including being ‘KOd’ knocked over and sustaining bone breakages including broken legs and hocks. We surmise some of these dogs risk being killed as their racing careers are most likely ended and they are possibly only of use as stud dogs. • These casualties come hot on the heels of the exposure of Enniscorthy Greyhound Track leaving an injured and subsequently killed body of a dog for a week to rot in its kennels.
