WILL YOU HELP? THE PROBLEM: Ireland is known as the foremost greyhound breeding country in the world. The state-run organization Board na gCon (Greyhound Racing Board) is responsible for the breeding and racing of greyhounds. Approximately 20,000 greyhound puppies are registered each year in Ireland. The number actually born each year is higher, but many "unpromising" dogs are disposed of before registration time. About half of those registered are exported to the UK and the United States, and a small number to Spain and elsewhere. It is estimated that approximately 14,000 greyhounds are "disposed of" in Ireland each year, but the true number will sadly never be known. But this problem is not just confined to Ireland but so many other countries. ACTION: There has being huge interest everywhere from groups and people relating to our idea of a worldwide candle light vigil day for the greyhounds, and, we want YOU to help us make this day a huge success for the greyhounds that need your help. Our aim for this day is to shed the much needed light on the horrifically cruel suffering of these beautiful gentle creatures in this part of the racing industry, we want to educate the many about the suffering and call for it to be abolished. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Excellent cause. Good luck to all involved.
Greyhound being the interstate bus service of the USA. The building at present officially houses 220 suspected looters ahead of their transfer.
It was opened on Sept 10

But according to reports this week Greyhound bus company are unhappy that the site has been dubbed internationally "camp greyhound".
"Greyhound Bus Lines asked Louisiana's prisons department to stop referring to a temporary New Orleans jail, that was once its bus station, as Camp Greyhound.
"Greyhound called us on Friday and asked us not to refer to it as Camp Greyhound anymore," Pam Laborde, communications director of Louisiana's department of corrections told a new conference.
Laborde said the jail would now be known as
"Camp Angola South".
absolute whippet
Horrific situation and excellent initiative indeed.
However would it not have been better to name a specific track(s) where you will be meeting for the vigil and give a time etc..etc. as most protests do??
Best of luck tomorrow. I'll see if I can join in.
