NO TO IRISH GREYHOUND EXPORTS TO CHINA DEMO!
Sat 19th March 1 -2pm at the Spire, O Connell Street, Dublin.
GREYHOUND ACTION IRELAND is sickened and appalled that the Irish Greyhound board, Bord na gCon has planned to send Irish greyhounds to China to expand Greyhound Racing in Asia.
Already much criticized for their overbreeding of Greyhound dogs and for their total disregard for the welfare of ex-racing dogs here in Ireland, this latest move is shamefull .
This move confirms what we have been saying all along …the IGB couldn’t care less about the tens of thousands of Irish dogs they breed to die. Greyhounds in Ireland have been found mutilated, with ears cut off, drugged, hanged, drowned and killed by bolt gun in backstreet slaughterhouses. A minute percentage get homes here as will not be the case in China.
In the aftermath of Chinese officials visiting Dublin earlier this month to see how the Irish greyhound-racing industry is run and regulated. An IGB spokesman said the board informed the Department of Agriculture, which regulates the transport of greyhounds, about its expansion plans.
