We, the undersigned, strongly object to the proposal of building a greyhound track at the Butts Stadium.

As well as the injuries sustained by thousands of dogs a year on the racing track, we wish to draw your attention to the cruelty, suffering and irresponsibility in the dog racing industry as a whole.  Thousands of greyhound pups and young dogs are disposed of every year and at least 10,000 are ‘retired’ from racing annually at an average age of two and a half years.  Very few of these dogs are lucky enough to find a home – the rest are killed, exported to Spain or simply abandoned as can be testified by all animal rescue societies.

We urge the council to act responsibly and to refuse the planning permission for this proposal.
