Jump To Comment: 1 2 3the only solution!!!!! are you well?? Plenty of people in Greyhound racing love their dogs (fast or slow) and would never do anything to harm them.
This is not a common ocurrance and as you only referred to about 5 cases you havent ecactly offered strong evidence for me to believe it is.
Why dont yopu approach Bord Na Gcon and ask them to donate a small % of each racing fee to this grehound shelter.
there is too much of this going on for people to ignore. it needs to be illegal to race these dogs or they will never stop suffering!!!
Johnny P - Bord Na gCon recently opted to no longer fund the animal welfare group PAWS which catered for retired greyhound welfare. This is despite the huge amounts of money made by owners of greyhounds.

This speaks volumes really.
I am sure there are plenty of greyhound owners who love their dogs whether they are making money for them or not, however Bernie is right, alot of owners once the dog is no longer as fast as it once was, will sell them to the Spanish greyhound industry. In Spain, standards are much lower than here. The even more unscrupulous owners who have no need of their dogs mutilate them so as not to be identified. This is not an uncommon occurrence, judging by the amount of times it is reported in the media;. I am sure Bernie could easily give you a clearer picture than I can. What is even more common is dogs being unceremoniously put down en masse when they outlive their usefulness, which was recently reported.
All the evidence is there that we are less caring than we should be about our greyhounds.
Personally I would have no objection to greyhound racing once the animals were treated with respect, without cruelty and were retired properly.
