Greyhounds in Need have sent this information about the petition they ran, which closed at the end of April. The petition received 16,738 signatures.
‘THANK YOU …………… we have been truly staggered by the worldwide support for our on-line petition to the Spanish Government. This has attracted signatures from over 40 countries and all the 50 US States. What encourages us most is the very large number of Spanish people who have signed and so often added impassioned messages calling for action by their Government. This shows us that there are many in Spain who have become aware of this problem and who really want to see improvements in their nation’s standards of animal care.’
We have to keep hammering away at the Spanish Government and the Racing and Hunting Federations. Anyone else with a petition needing signatures, send me the link. And if you haven’t already written to the federations, here’s the link to do so.
