To: Australian federal Government

We the undersigned call upon the Australian federal government to ban the export of greyhounds to Asia.

The Australian greyhound racing industry is shamelessly promoting and encouraging greyhound racing in Asia. At present greyhounds are being exported from Australia to Asia to places such as Korea, Vietnam and China for the purpose of racing/breeding with further plans to create networks of tracks throughout Cambodia and the Philippines. These are countries notorious for the barbaric torture and slaughter of dogs for human consumption. There is no hope or opportunity of rehoming greyhounds that are ‘surplus’ to requirements in Asia. As exposed by the media they are ending their days being butchered in the dog meat industry or thrown into landfills. At present this is the fate of Australian greyhounds in Asia.’

It’s what we keep saying, the greyhounds in Australia which don’t make it are exported to Asia and unbelievable cruelty. And what happens to greyhounds, well, it follows that there will be plenty of bastards willing to send Spanish galgos along the same route.

So, add your name to this protest, and let’s see what the pro-greyhound racing lobbyists in Australia have to say about this!
