Greyhounds and Animals Australia

If you watched ABC’s episode of 7.30 regarding racing greyhound export from Australia, you’ll understand the angst we felt whilst watching the abhorrent treatment of animals for the sake of human entertainment. We feel truly ashamed knowing this export has not been stopped.

Included below is a link which contains a video highlighting short portions of some issues covered in the documentary however we caution you that viewing the video may be disturbing to some viewers. We do not recommend viewing by children.

Also on the link is a letter set up ready for you to express you request or concerns if you wish. It can be forwarded to your local member for you via the website in the hope of stopping this export.  Every single person can help by doing this and getting the numbers to object.  But if you do nothing, please do not expect this cruel situation to change.

Once the greyhounds were no longer needed for racing they were exterminated in a ghastly manner whereby they were injected with poison in the form of a pesticide not designed for such a purpose.  They struggled on until they took their last breaths whilst humans held them still.  Killing is tragic… torture is inexcusable.
