Join us in appealing to Louth-based fruit & veg company, FanFruit, to stop sponsoring the cruel greyhound industry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW4xNzsk_sY

The company's name was attached to a 12th July €550 race at Dundalk stadium - one of the worst tracks in Ireland for dogs injuries and deaths. 110 greyhounds suffered injuries and 47 were killed by a track vet at Dundalk stadium over the past four years alone, sickening Irish Greyhound Board statistics show.

FanFruit has been supporting greyhound racing since at least 2011 when it sponsored the €800 “Fanfruit Ltd Open 400” at Dundalk stadium.

In an email to FanFruit, ICABS highlighted the recent RTE Investigates programme which revealed that 6,000 greyhounds are killed every year because they're not fast enough to win races https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYTb2qBjlMM

30 Supervalu supermarkets around Ireland have sponsored greyhound racing over the past decade - https://www.facebook.com/banbloodsports/posts/1857546281027588 We have contacted Supervalu Head Office with information about all the dog injuries and deaths in greyhound racing and have urged the company to act. We received no response. It's time for Supervalu to take action to stop its local stores from supporting greyhound racing.
