1,000+ Supporters! Thank You from Us and Our Own Greyhounds!

Big thanks to everyone who has signed our the petition so far. We are amazed that in only a week, as many as 1,000 people have come together to support the safety and well-being of these dogs! Please keep sharing and spread the word online with: #YouBetTheyDie, #StopAnimalAbuse and #EndGreyhoundRacing. Our main goal is to eventually reach 10,000 supporters in order for our proposal to be considered by the U.K. Government and our Prime Minister, Theresa May. So its important that we get as much people's attention as possible. Thank you! Below are the personal stories of our own greyhounds who we've adopted: We own two greyhounds at home, Lenny and Rae. They are ex-racedogs and still suffer from what they went to in their previous lives. If we hadn't gotten them, they would've been put to death long ago. We adopted Lenny first. He had served his time as a race dog. He still wears the scars from this experience- the whip marks on his back and the ones in his mind. Due to the live baiting used to prompt the Pauls into sprinting, we need to muzzle both of our dogs before going on walks with them. Thay have the instinct engraved so deeply in their minds by their previous owners to win the live bait at the finish line, that there's always a risk that at the sight if a small pup, cat or rabbit, they'll chase and attack it. They weren't trained at a young age and we're given little to no care, meaning that sometimes, Lenny especially, is pretty mischievous and will rummage for food all over the house. He's broken into the kitchen a few times, but we forgive him of course. We loved Lenny so much that we wanted to get another greyhound. Rae was going to be killed due to reigning supreme in all of her races, making her a predictable winner. This meant no money could be made from her anymore and therefore, the owner didn't want her.

Our main goal is to eventually reach 10,000 supporters in order for our proposal to be considered by the U.K. Government and our Prime Minister, Theresa May; we also wish to spread awareness of what really goes on, behind the races. We believe it's important that we get as much people's attention as possible so we Dan make a change. Thank you for your support!

Rae was going to be killed due to being to reigning supreme in all of her races, making her a predictable winner. This meant no money could be made from her anymore and the owner wanted her dead. Luckily we found her before this could happen and adopted her. Due to being raced so hard, Rae is left with unnaturally flat paws. We love our dogs to bits and couldn't be more glad and proud to have found them. It breaks our hearts knowing that there are so many dogs in the UK which face the same threat: a pointless death. When they have the potential to be so much more: perfect pets, and such lovable friends. Kind regards and many thanks, Susan Rice.
