Dog/ Ridgeback racing is inherently cruel and the dogs are exploited and they suffer. Animal Cruelty Dog/Ridgeback racing is NOT Tourism and it will effect Vietnam's economy BADLY.

One of the main tourist attractions in Phu Quoc in Vietnam are the beaches and forests. But there is a dark side to this island that it is using dog racing to try to boost tourism.

Ridgebacks and are kept and bred in the most appalling conditions and like the greyhounds of Vietnam abused for dog racing. They sustain multiple  injuries when racing which causes them further pain and when they are no longer good enough /fast enough and are surplus to requirements are then sold on to the dog and cat meat trade.

This hellhole has dangerous racecourses including four racetracks with a length of 365 metres. These defenceless dogs are forced to take part in races and the poor dogs are being made to run 12 different courses, including  jumping high fences, swimming/wading through  dirty water ,tunnels and climbing walls. This is immensely cruel to it takes it toll on these innocent dogs. 

There is a racetrack/breeding farm built in Cay Thong Ngoai Hamlet in Cua Duong Commune in 2000 and is it similar  the one  in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province Vietnam. where  they abuse  greyhounds who are kept in horrific conditions. and killed once there are not good enough for racing and breeding.

Please help us put an end to the cruelty :

• Never bet on Greyhounds/Dogs/Ridgebacks/Horses.
  Boycott Attending any tracks Globally.
• Please do not attend racing or holiday there until they stop the animal cruelty and ban Dog/Ridgeback/Greyhound Racing in Vietnam .
