Dear supporter,
Large numbers of racing greyhounds are suffering every year because of a lack of effective regulation.
Every year at least 10,000 greyhounds are retired from racing. The fate of many of these greyhounds is unknown and huge numbers simply 'disappear'.
Now we have the chance to protect them for the whole of their lives. But that chance expires in just a few days, on Wednesday, 22 July.
We've set ourselves a target to get at least 20,000 people to send a letter to the government by 22 July to push them to introduce special legislation for racing greyhounds under the Animal Welfare Act. After that, the consultation period closes for good.
