Please Sign The Stop Greyhound Cruelty Petition
Just a quick note today to pass on a message to everyone that cares about greyhounds for a member of the Facebook cause, Andy Falconer. Andy left a link at the cause page today for a petition to promote the abolition of greyhound cruelty, which desperately needs signatures.

Hitting The Greyhound Industry Where It Hurts!
It's been a while since I wrote a post on this blog because most of my posts have been placed on Lou's Gorgeous Greyhounds in recent months. However, the news I'm receiving is starting to come through thick and fast on Greyhound rescues and the industry itself so I'm going to try and maintain the 2 from now on!
First up is the subject of an email I received a few days ago, which I think is briliant! Debra Rothery, the founder of TIA Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue, has decided to hit the Greyhound industry where it hurts - right in their pockets! She has decided that the stray greyhounds that come into TIA’s care are the financial responsibility of the racing industry. This is definitely the case under the law because it means that owners are failing to implement Rule 18 – ‘Responsibility of Ownership'. Consequently, she has sent an invoice to the GBGB claiming minimal expenses for stray greyhounds which TIA has incurred since the start 2009. Good on her! The amount of money Greyhound rescues spend every year to pick up the pieces for thes poor creatures is disgusting so it's about time they took responibility themselves! You can find more information about this at Greytexploitations.
While we are on the subject of funding for greyhound rescues, I am still collecting used postage stamps to help fill the funding deficits of Greyhound rescues since the credit crunch started. Please email me if you can send any used postage stamps to help these beautiful creatures.
