Greyhound Racing 1000's die every year - Change this !

18,000 Racing Greyhounds die? How can there ever be an 'acceptable' amount of deaths! 

Witnesses reported seeing the man pick up the dog and throw it into the freezing water in Hartlepool, County Durham, on 2 November.

Ministers are considering tightening regulations on greyhound welfare as campaigners claim tens of thousands die needlessly and “disappear” each year.

The industry should be more open about numbers of deaths and injuries, officials at the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) said as MPs prepare to examine welfare guidelines this week.

Campaign group Greyt Exploitations says it has found that at least 40,000 greyhounds have been injured in the past 10 years on British tracks, and 18,000 have died.

'Let's hope ministers are going to do more than 'consider' this has been going on for decades if they do nothing or an inadequate token gesture then it will continue to show the government is corrupt. We are a nation of animal lovers and our politics should reflect the view of the people'

How Corrupt is the Irish Government? we come back to Greyhound Racing

Government paid €23 million for greyhound track valued at just €12 million

Government ‘paid double for Harold’s Cross race track’
Greyhound stadium was valued at just €12m

The €23 million that it cost the government to buy a former greyhound stadium in Dublin was almost twice the value placed on it by... continue reading here 

Yet again we see how corrupt Greyhound racing is - this continued support by the government can only signify that have some sort of vested interest in the gambling and drug-ridden world of greyhound racing where the poor dogs are mistreated sold to china/japan, mistreated, abused, dumped and pts when they no longer have offer any value to the 'owner' greedy bastard! 

See my previous post Ban Greyhound racing for more information if you are in any doubt.

 “This is a prima facie case of the price paid not being connected to the value of the site,” Mr Fleming said. “The valuation on the property should have been the overriding feature of how much the Department of Education paid for the site, but it does not seem to have been in this case.”

The Fianna Fáil TD said he expected that the public accounts committee would examine the matter. Its members described the €23 million sale of the track as a government bailout for the debt-ridden greyhound board. David Cullinane, a Sinn Féin TD, said it was remarkable how the value of the deal was enough to wipe out the debt."

It was also been reported that dosing this lovely breed with cocaine - a practice that is supposed to be banned - is still prevalent 

Champion Tristar

Tristar a Four -old flyer Tristar was caught with the Class A party drug in his system after blowing away rivals on the track.

The substance, which can boost performance, was discovered in a urine sample taken before he stormed to victory at the Shawfield track in Rutherglen, near Glasgow.

But despite fining trainer William Rae, 70, a disciplinary hearing ruled the bizarre case a “mystery” and let him keep his license.

In a statement, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain said: “Something has gone seriously wrong when it is found that a greyhound has been exposed to cocaine.”

Talented champ Tristar, who has racked up five wins at Shawfield during his 35-race career, won last October’s meeting in less than 30 seconds.

When will the UK and the Irish government wake up to this corruption as right now they appear to be embedded within it!
