Rebel Greyhound Awareness

Thank you to all who attended our peaceful protest last evening outside Curraheen greyhound track. 🪧🐾

At a race at track on 13 July, greyhound Hollyhill Mundy suffered a fall. Next to him is Johnstown Magie who later tested positive for prohibited substance Caffeine. She also tested positive for the same substance after a race on 24th February. Don't go greyhound racing

And I’ve completed the lineup for 2025 sighthound calendar, finishing off with the beautiful Bella. Now all I need to do is get them printed!

Nearly 2,800 racing greyhounds, or over a fifth of those dogs born in Ireland in 2021, are now either dead or unaccounted for, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

As of April this year, of the 12,483 non-coursing greyhounds born on the island, at least 2,772 were either listed as being deceased or as having no status.

This is one of Rachel's little pups. They are yet to open their eyes but they are all growing bigger and stronger...and derpier!

Good news for greyhounds! As you know, GREY2K USA Worldwide is always working hard to end dog racing and sponsor rescued greyhounds from closing tracks.

This evening’s doodlin’…

Me, when someone tells me not to worry.

Happy 4th July to all my US friends & followers! It's voting day here in the UK... but staying away from politics, what a nice day for a stroll on the beach....though a bit windy. Here's an old one from the archives. "We are almost there, can you smell the salt air..?" https://sandersonart.net/signed-prints/we-are-almost-there-can-you-smell-the-salt-air

Members from Greyhound Rehabilitation Enthusiasts Association Tasmania (GREAT) gathered alongside Animal Liberation Tasmania on Monday, August 21, at Civic Square to rally against alleged mistreatment in the dog racing industry.

About 20 ex-racing greyhounds gathered near Launceston's Racing Services Tasmania office in Henty House to show the "beautiful greyhounds who have survived the industry".

Animal Liberation Tasmania spokesperson Kristy Alger said the protest gave the public a chance to see "how wonderful these animals can be as individuals and not as racing tools".

"There is a perception of greyhounds that they are sort of 'other than dogs', because they are essentially a livestock animal in the racing industry," Ms Alger said.

"Not a lot of people get to meet them on an emotional, individual level where they are their own best advocates as gentle and loving dogs."

Ms Alger said the Animal Liberation Tasmania group will be lobbying to shut down the industry in coming years.

Similar to the Great Global Greyhound Walk - an annual, September event which highlights the breeds' qualities as a domestic pet - the protest hoped to show the animal in a new light.

GREAT member Serani Dobson and her greyhound, Thelma, attended the protest at Civic Square and said she took on Thelma as a rescue because she doesn't "believe in racing".

"I don't think hurting animals is a Tasmanian way of life," Ms Dobson said.

The Greyhound Peaceful Protest event was organised to raise awareness for the animals reported mistreatment, with particular reference to recently released footage of Tasmanian greyhounds being "racked up like tools waiting to be used".

Dog racing has come under even greater scrutiny in recent weeks because of the footage, which the Tasmanian government's Racing Minister, Felix Ellis, said was sent to the Office of Racing Integrity for review and that he understood an investigation was underway.

❗Greyhounds need YOUR help to be companions, not commodities!
❗Will you show your support for an end to the greyhound racing industry by responding to The Scottish Government consultation on licensing greyhound racing?
❗ You can respond easily and quickly in just 15 minutes using our friends at OneKind 's handy supporter guide!👍
Currently, the Scottish Government is considering licensing greyhound racing. However, licensing will NOT protect dogs from the inherent welfare risks of greyhound racing❌
This is why our response emphasises the need for a phased end to greyhound racing instead✔️

Please take just 15 minutes of your time to speak up for greyhounds today➡️🔗 https://www.onekind.org/.../supporter-guide-for-the...

Dreaming of warmer days.

Another weekend with no dog racing... not enough dogs entered. This is further evidence that there's no appetite for greyhound racing in Scotland. There are already over 15,000 signatures on the open letter and over 28,000 signatures on Petition PE1758: End Greyhound Racing in Scotland. What more does The Scottish Government need?
