Join us in urging the government to stop the funding that is propping up this cruel activity.

ACTION ALERT

Another €16.8 million of scarce public funds has been approved for greyhound racing for 2020. Since 2001, greyhound racing has received more than a quarter of a billion euros of taxpayers' money.

Contact Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and tell them to stop handing over millions of euros every year to greyhound racing and instead redirect the money into the health bodies, sports clubs, homeless charities, animal rescue centres and environmental groups crying out for support.
