Hi all
I am part of a group that raises awareness about the cruelty behind the greyhound racing industry in Swindon (one of only two tracks left in the South West). We go to the track every Saturday between 6pm and 7.15pm with placards and leaflets in the hope that people going in will see our signs and think twice about going again.
We are also doing some town centre outreach events before Christmas in the hope of persuading people not to hold their Christmas parties at the race track.
There are also other ‘armchair actions’ for those who are unable to get to the track on a Saturday evening such as emailing Groupon to ask them to stop offering cheap deals to greyhounds tracks.
A trainer is currently being taken to court by the RSPCA in Swindon for treating his greyhounds badly. This is all too common sadly. Some of our group have rescued greyhounds and they are traumatised by the treatment they received while racing.
