Greys Are Great
End Commercial Greyhound Racing in the UK
Responsible department: Office of the Leader of the House of Commons
We, the undersigned, call on the government to end commercial greyhound racing in the UK in a planned, phased and responsible way. We call for this for the following reasons:
- greyhound racing is a commercial industry driven by profit and the welfare of the dogs is not its top priority
- as a result, thousands of dogs are abandoned each year when they are no longer of financial benefit to their owners
- due to the number of dogs abandoned it is not possible to rehome them all, despite the efforts of rescue charities
- the fate of many is unclear. Some have their ears cut off to remove identifying tattoos. They are then killed and dumped
- these problems are the direct result of the existence of the industry. It is totally unnecessary and - in a civilised, modern society - unjustifiable.
We believe it is unacceptable to treat dogs as disposable commodities bred solely for profit-making purposes, and we call on the government to bring this cycle of abuse to an end.
