Just 15 mins for Greyhounds Can you visit http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/
and select your MP; email them- its very simple and adapt this standard letter into your own words Standard Letter: Dear....MP I am writing to urge you to support Dogs Trust in campaigning for stronger measures to protect Greyhounds from cradle to grave. Following the passing of the Animal Welfare Act in 2006 two investigations into the welfare of racing Greyhounds were undertaken. In response to the findings of these investigations the Government committed to introducing regulations to address the main welfare problems associated with Greyhound racing. The proposed regulations do not go far enough and focus too much on the Greyhounds whilst at the tracks. There are no proposed regulations to ensure the welfare of the dogs when they are in their kennels where they spend around 90% of their time. The problem of Greyhounds disappearing from the sport is also largely ignored. Please contact the Dogs Trust press office on 0207 837 0006 / pressoffice@dogstrust.org.uk to find out more, so no Greyhound need ever suffer again. Yours sincerely, My adaption: Dear Susan Kramer, I am writing to urge you to support Dogs Trust in campaigning for stronger measures to protect Greyhounds rights. Since the Animal Welfare Act was passed the racing industry of Greyhounds was reviewed and identified welfare problems associated with Greyhound racing. 2 significant issues weren't sufficiently covered 1) the welfare issues of the kennelled dogs and 2) the 'mist' surrounding their disappearance on retirement. I understand the Dogs Trust are trying to address this. Could you please contact the Dogs Trust press office on 0207 837 0006 / pressoffice@dogstrust.org.uk to find out more. We should be ashamed of the way this sport treats their animals Yours sincerely, lynne |
