So you'd be happy if I said the Greytexploits website is allegedly full of lies, exagerations and untruths?

I feel you're out of order on this account, say I had been considering buying a pup reared by Graham and decided not to because he has allegedly been prosectuted for poor animal husbandry. Not on!

Where's the relevance?
The fact that dogs are pts by an organisation that you support in exactly the same way that some greyhounds are pts certainly holds some relevance in my view.

Please don't judge me by your own standards - I do not gain financially from the campaign - in fact it costs me.

I am merely supplying GOOD FACTUAL EVIDENCE to add weight to my argument...........something which is sadly but not surprisingly in short supply from the pro racing racing lobby on this thread.

You have been fed false information and yes, I along with another 12,000 other respondents to the consultation were ignored by the government.

Oh right so because the industry says its what they do (actually they do try do deny it but hey ho) its fine for them to do? Sorry but what are the reasons they kill dogs then? Because they are no longer useful, cant find homes for them, cant be bothered to take them home themselves? That makes it ok in your eyes?

But it doesn’t answer it does it?

Of course some people have to give up their dogs for various reasons but most do not buy them or breed them knowing damn well they will be put into recue at pretty much best – do they? Certainly most have not used them to make money and put them into rescue when they get too old to do so, or maybe in your vast experience most pet owners do?

Arh again back to the unable to be educated argument of yours – im now illiterate because I disagree with you – whatever what is your degree in?

So the cruelty is not the main concern of yours then?

So again it’s the rescues that have to pick up the pieces! Loads of greyhounds – surely as you keep saying there are very few greyhounds in rescue as apparently they all get taken home?

What do you mean places with loads of greyhounds and less other dogs needing homes? Every rescue around the country is full of dogs needing homes all that the industry does is add to that number! There is not a rescue in the country right now that does not have lots of dogs needing homes of all sorts of breeds and x breeds – I thought you helped out in staffy rescue!

Certainly isn’t if people turn a blind eye or accept that it goes on!

I think this thread probably proves that not to be the case.

I think you’ll find ‘if you read properly’ I already have! But of course its only us anti’s that cant read isn’t it.

How were you and 12,000 others ignored?

You were ignored by a government that you believe will abolish greyhound racing? What a joke!

The paperwork and the tattoos are all to do with the gambling. The bookmakers have to be assured no cheating goes on and they can be sure the right dog is given the correct odds for gambling purposes - nothing to do with welfare.

With the same results, vets /owners being more informed as to course and treatment!!

Regardless - whenever possible I use complimentary therapies to treat the dogs in my care and never use a vet with unethical standards.

Oh right, what would they be then!

You slate (well you didnt slate them just used it to justify you beloved industry doing it) puppy farmers and those that over breed yet support an industry that does it and you have never addressed that as seeing it as a problem. You reckon you don’t ‘like’ cruelty yet support an industry that it goes on in.

You attend races, you support it simples as!
