Please help end the suffering of racing dogs many are simply killed or abandoned by their owners once they cant race anymore or fail to make the grade. often they have very short lives due to mistreatment and pick up serious injury's but are forced to keep running many are killed in horrific ways ........this is an international "sport" so we can all do something to help no matter how small to ensure this barbaric treatment can't go on. Please vist
greyhound action or retired greyhounds .

I'm not asking you to send money but simply to make you aware of the unnecessary suffering these dogs go though. Even if its sending a letter of action it's a help
some of the dogs stories are truly sicking and as dog owners yourselves you'd hate to see it happen to your pet in the name of so called fun

Mistreating animals or humans is not nice..... no matter where it occurs..... we got the same thing going on here in the states... adopt an animal..... or a kid (if you are not too old).... both need new lives....
OK off my soap box..... >>>>> go build a model.... old man....!!!!

In the US there are a large number of Gray hound rescue organizations who do nothing but take dogs who don't race anymore and find homes for them......

I was surprised when my friend told me that the life of a human being was not comparable with that of a dog, it may be the reason to that this people stop feeling any remorse for this animals.

Lets go vegetarian!

I agree that this is a senseless treatment of animals and I'm sure that 99.9% of us already agree, but it has what? to do with scale modeling and the Armorama Community? There must be tons of other sites out there that will (and do) cater to such a topic.
