  • In Memory of Midnight Terror, an Australian greyhound in Macau, China

    Macau Midnight Terror 400 11 2018
    In the past I have reported on the Australian Greyhound breeders and trainers sending their unwanted hounds to China. This they have vehemently denied doing! Here’s proof that they did, although this story does have a sort of happy ending.

    From Albano Martins in Macau

    ‘Midnight Terror, almost 10 years old, born on 1st December 2008, Australian, male, black color, died in Macau Municipal Kennel with Septicaemia, even after a blood transfusion by another greyhound!

    I had been the day before in the Kennel to see his health situation and i found there Mr. Leung Chi Keung, his future owner, taking care of him! He has been a constant volunteer taking care of Midnight Terror from the first beginning in Canidrome! This is a good example of a responsible adopter!

    On 15 November at 3:00 pm, Midnight Terror was cremated in Coloane Municipal Kennel and Mr.Leung will keep his ashes paid already by him!

    Thanks Mr.Leung Chi Keung!

    ‘Late Friday night, we learned that the Canidrome, China’s only dog track, had agreed to end the killing of greyhounds and institute a an adoption program for ex-racers.

    This news, coming less than five months after the start of our Rescue Brooklyn campaign, was wonderful to hear. The first dogs ever to leave the track alive were to be sent to local animal protection organization ANIMA on Monday morning. Read the announcement here.
