‘REMEMBRANCE WEEKEND’
“Two years later. How many thousands of dead dogs later?”
Annette Crosbie OBE – July 2008
Wednesday 16th July marked the second anniversary of the ‘Seaham Slaughter‘ exposure by Daniel Foggo, journalist to The Sunday Times.
Not only did this investigation prove beyond doubt that greyhounds were being slaughtered on a massive scale but as a result of the public outcry, ministers demanded an All Parliamentary Enquiry.
In remembrance of those innocent souls that died at Seaham and to remind the media and public of the 100’s of thousands of greyhounds that have raced to death since the conception of this ‘Circus of Horrors’, Greyt Exploitations has teamed up with the award winning singer/songwriter Maria Daines.
Maria’s powerful ballad ‘Racing to Death’, is released this week and distributed to all BBC radio stations and many independent radio stations.
‘Racing To Death’ has been endorsed by Annette Crosbie OBE, who kindly provided the above quote, questioning just how many more thousands of greyhounds have died since the ‘Seaham Slaughter’.
So what has changed in the last two years?
Very little in fact, except for the price and means of disposal. In 2008, the cost to trainers and owners seeking to have their healthy greyhounds disposed of is now £30. Only to be further exploited by having their lifeless warm bodies dissected and their organs sold for a profit.
In remembrance of not only the thousands of nameless greyhounds that have been abused and exploited from cradle to grave and beyond, we also consider this cd release a mark of respect to Clash Nitro and Rent A Flyer, two young greyhounds who were photographed being lead to their slaughter and again graphically captured on film after their deaths at Seaham.
Please contact as many local radio stations as possible, by telephone, email or text and request they play ‘Racing to Death’ by Maria Daines.
Together with Maria’s powerful voice, we can speak for all of the greyhounds still being RACED TO DEATH FOR THE PRICE OF A BET, giving them the voice they so desperately need.
