Greyhound Action have announced that the UK flagship greyhound racing stadium, Walthamstow Stadium, has now closed down. But there are 29 more stadiums in the UK which are still operating on.
Whilst they herald this as a success, and it is a great success, what concerns me is that the more stadiums in the UK which close down, the more stadiums will open in Australia, Korea and China – and we can only begin to imagine the abuse and suffering in store for the greyhounds exported to these countries. It is quite likely that Spanish galgos will also end up there too.
They need thousands more signature. Go on line now and sign up for the on-line petitions against greyhound racing in these countries at http://www.greyhoundaction.org.uk/igreyhound.html
