From Christine Dorchak, President of Grey2K USA
I have just returned from the biggest weekend ever for greyhounds! Our Greyhounds Around the Globe conference in Florida brought together advocates from ten countries, all of whom are now committed to working together to help end commercial dog racing in the Sunshine State and worldwide.
Our Delray Beach conference began with the release of our new video by ABC News. We have now exposed the violent collisions, injuries and deaths that greyhounds suffer in Florida each month, particularly at the Palm Beach Kennel Club. In fact, according to state records, a dog dies every three days at a local racetrack! Working together, we mean to change this.
The Greyhounds Around the Globe conferees have now taken our first joint action and on Saturday, we issued a group letter to the leaders of the eight countries with commercial dog racing. Now it’s your turn to help.
Please sign and share our petition widely and make a generous donation to this campaign! Each signature will generate an e-mail to the president or prime minister of a racing country and every dollar will empower our ability to help the greyhounds both here and abroad.
The first Greyhounds Around the Globe conference was a day to remember. Please sign our petition and get ready to bring the cruelty of dog racing to its rightful end worldwide.

Let’s hope it will apply to galgo racing in Spain too! Pleased to say that Fermin Perez Martin was one of the speakers

One response to “Greyhounds around the Globe Conference – sign the petition”
Signed and commented but this needs sharing wider. I’m very surprised that only 7,000 people have signed – needs to go viral!
