Greyhound Industry gets 13 million in budget

category national | animal rights | press release author Saturday October 18, 2008 10:54author by Bernie Wright - Greyhound Action Irelandauthor email berniew at esatclear dot ieauthor address P O Box 4734.Dublin.1author phone 085 7371810 Report this post to the editors

Budget results: Old folks nil ,Greyhounds 13mil.

13 million for Greyhound Industry while the old suffer more hardship
The IGB is and has been in receipt of Irish taxpayers funds through the Department of Finance's exchequer since 2001.
Horse and Greyhound racing has been awarded these funds through the Horse & Greyhound fund which totalled 75million last year, of which the Greyhound sector received 13 million in this budget.( Of course BIFFO has been a regular visitor to the tracks)
ear1s.jpg

The 2009 budget resulted in a cut of 9%, a slight reduction of 1.5 million. Yet this money if diverted would go a long way towards genuine needy causes.
Greyhound Racing has received 106 million of taxpayers money since 2001.A disgrace when you consider our Health Service or the cut in medical cards services for the over 70s.
‘We call on taxpayers to push for an end to greyhound Industry grants in Ireland, especially in light of the current financial crisis.
The Greyhound Racing Industry is not a national cultural institution, but an example of severe animal abuse. Thousands of animals are drugged, injured, mutilated or killed annually.
Also the lack of an underage limit at tracks encourages underage gambling with children as young as seven years witnessed betting their Holy Communion money.
Greyhound racing is a shame to any modern state and should be abolished, not rewarded by tax-payer’s money.’ BernieWright,
spokesperson GAI.
