Help Save Irish Greyhounds

Help Save Irish Greyhounds

The Issue

GREY2K USA joins with the leading animal welfare advocates to decry a proposal to send greyhounds racing in Ireland to foreign lands such as China.

According to published reports, the Irish Greyhound Board is considering allying with Chinese officials to bring dog racing to the People’s Republic of China. Clearly, this expansion of a cruel industry would cause greyhounds to suffer even more, both in transport and then while racing. These gentle dogs would subsequently face uncertain futures in countries where animal welfare laws may not even exist.

Please join us and sign our petiton to let the Welfare and Racing Operations Manager, Barry Coleman, know that the cruelty of dog racing should end, not be expanded.
