Why is Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust listed - is it because you recieve funding from them or what?

In fact the debate reaffirms the Animal Welfare Act is failing greyhounds which is what I have always stated.
So instead of posting links and making accusations - post some specifics to back up your accusations.
Bring this link up again.

Draw you attention to the point the Minster made at 25.40.
Other points 13.27 and 22.50

At least I know better now. Our local rescue centre is brimming with ex-racers at the mo, was quite shocked when I looked at the rehoming section at the number there were.
This might enlighten you a lot more.
Please look at above link from 25.00 onwards.
Where the Minster states the good work of the rehoming centres of the industry and that 15 to 20 years ago when he went to Battersea they where full of greyhounds, on his last visit recently they did not have one.
Was it an RGT kennel you visited?, if not any chance of the Local rescues name.

It is my belief we do not 'own' animals - I believe it is out duty to care for animals.
Just how many people do you think buy a companion dog, with the intention at the time of purchase, to destroy the dog if 'by chance' the dog sustains an injury?

Perhaps if the minister had visited one of the independent greyhound rescues - at a guess I would say there are 50 plus - or one of the 51 RGT branches then he would have seen more than one or two greyhounds awaiting rehoming.

You give no link to your statment that the Minster was misinformed and is calling for evidence as such to show he is wrong.

24.45 - minister responds with the AWA is being reviewed next year and will address this issue then.
Jim Fitzpatrick has invited a greyhound protection group to submit evidence regarding the AWA failing to protect greyhounds.
He will respond to that evidence in April.

His quote at about 25.00 seems to support that
