Guest Bones_Sox63 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Spare a thought for these poor greyhounds, they didn't have a chance. IN: 5th November 2004 Greyhound, male, black.............. pts 5/11/04 Greyhound, male, white.............. pts 5/11/04 Greyhound, female, grey............ pts 5/11/04 They were surrendered by a farm who deals in greyhounds for the racing gang. They board them, train them and whatever and then when they are no longer wanted, they leave it up to this farm to dispose of them. The easy "no cost" option is to take them to the pound and in spite of the 5 or 6 people working to get dogs out of this pound they were executed immediately. In Ireland Greys are seen as livestock and rarely as pets so they have no chance in the land of their birth. We regularly bring dogs over from Ireland and it is easy, much cheaper than Spain so could we not help the Greys in Ireland as well as those in Spain? I know that people on this group do take dogs from Ireland as well as ourselves but I think it needs a central voice to focus on the Greys in Ireland and to fight their corner for them. Perhaps this is the placehttp://www.dogrescueireland.com/index.htm] http://www.dogrescueireland.com/index.htm[/url] But for today please weep for these three un-named, unknown Greyhounds who were never given the chance to find a home.

Guest Guest_Patricia_* Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I agree that the plight of the Irish greyhound is very sad. There are people trying to make a difference. Our 9.5 year old female greyhound (listed as lurcher on her export papers) was adopted as a puppy rescue when Louise Coleman (Greyhound Friends) was helping with rescue work in Ireland. The litter was going to be destroyed because the father could not be documented and Louise brought them back to the States for adoption. It will always be hard for me to understand why people have no compassion for the greyound or any other living thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest caiteag Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I'm sitting here sobbing for these three babies.. and all the others, wherever they are in the world, who are pts for no good reason. Go to the Bridge little ones, and know that when we humans come to join our pets there, we'll adopt you too... as we would have here had we had the chance...

Guest LadyChester Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Run free at the bridge, sweet hounds...I'm sorry we couldn't help you.

Guest TaniandMalachy Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 It's an awful situation which desperately needs wider attention, I agree. There ARE some wonderful people working very hard to help Gh's in Ireland. Mary, who sometimes visits this list, is one of them. I hope she won't mind me saying that she does amazing work Link with compassion and dedication, but the rescue dogs just seem to keep on coming.... If anyone out there wants to offer some practical help, please PM me and I'll put you in touch. Thanks! Tani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's the sweetest, sassiest girl in the world. The Irish greys are unique in so many ways, it's a crying shame that they all dont' get adopted out to families. Keep up the good work Louise!
