WARNING... THIS PICTURE WILL BE UPSETTING!!!

Spanish greyhound ... murdered and dumped ... as so many faithful dogs are

 the last official greyhound track in Spain has closed ... however greyhounds are still exported to Spain for hunting and for use on unregulated rural flapping tracks.

For the greyhounds at least, it isn´t as simple as “first past the post”. No matter how hard they try, how fast they run, ultimately they will be the losers.
So who are the winners in this sport?


The Winners!

• the greyhound industry as a whole, which generates enormous annual profits.
• The owners of the best registered dogs, who profit from prizes
• The registered dog owners who can sell the best dogs on to the independent sector, once they have no further use for them.

The Losers!

• the puppies killed because they won´t make the grade as a racer.
• The thousands and thousands of greyhounds racing in the independent sector whose welfare is not regulated.
• The dogs kept in appalling, dirty, cramped conditions.
• The injured greyhounds, many of whom go untreated.
• The dogs abandoned or killed when they can´t run fast enough to win a race.

How can you make a difference to the dogs, and help the greyhounds become the winners?
