International Threats to Greyhounds

I am only one but I am still one. I cannot do everything but I can still do something

If the screams and moans of the animals used to provide for us could be heard, the sound would be deafening. If their misery and suffering could be felt by us, it would be unbearable. --- "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." ~ Albert Schweitzer

Dear Friends:
We have just learned that efforts to open dog tracks in the South Pacific and in the Caribbean are underway.
Please send your letters of concern to officials on behalf of the greyhounds. Thousands of dogs will be doomed to injury and death if racetracks are legalized in these new jurisdictions.

In the Philippines, House Bill No. 5291—An Act Granting the Fox Millenium Amusement Club a Franchise to Construct, Operate and Maintain a Greyhound Racetrack—would make dog racing legal in the city of Mandaue. This dangerous measure has already been approved by a legislative conference committee.
Please send a letter of support for the greyhounds to:
H.E. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President
Malacanang Palace
JP Laurel Street, San Miguel
Manila NCR 1005
The Philippines
