Tell TwinSpires to drop dog races

The Issue

Dog racing is cruel and inhumane and must stop. It is outlawed in 43 states, and only remains at two struggling tracks in West Virginia. TwinSpires, a division of Churchill Downs (CDI), is cashing in on cruelty and hoping that you don't care about greyhounds.

 

 

CDI is a large, publicly traded company and claims to have a long tradition of social corporate responsibility. But it has turned a blind eye to greyhounds and its subsidiary continues to allow gamblers to place online bets on American and foreign dog races. 

Please sign this petition to CEO William Carstanjen. Urge him to sever all ties with cruel greyhound racing, and remind him of his company's pledge to be a good corporate citizen. Competing betting platforms TVG and Premier Turf Club have already stopped carrying dog races! Mr. Carstanjen can also be reached directly at Bill.Carstanjen@kyderby.com.
