Greyhounds

Greyhound racing

Similar to horse racing, greyhounds are raced around a track to determine the fastest dog. In an ideal world, nothing would be wrong with greyhound racing, but behind the scenes in this billion-pound industry, it is far from ideal.

Thousands of greyhounds go missing every year, many put down, others dispatched with a bullet to the head or a brick around the neck. 

The League campaigns for independent regulation of the greyhound racing industry, to protect dogs and ensure that proper provisions are made for their health and wellbeing.
