Greyhounds - The Slaughter of the Innocent
On Sunday, my wife and I did a sponsored walk to raise funds for our local Greyhound rescue centre Kerry Greyhound Connection - finding homes for Irish greyhounds. This is a registered charity dedicated to the rescue of Greyhounds from Kerry in Ireland. Unfortunately, there is a persistant belief in Ireland that Greyhounds are unsuitable to be kept as pets. This has been confirmed to me by my son's wife and other Irish aquaintances. As a result, few dogs are re-homed in Ireland and have to be brought over to the UK to be fostered in Norfolk.
If anyone could help by visiting the site above, they can see what is being done and if they could possibly, make a donation via the PayPal button in the left column, it would be greatly appreciated.
The above site is nothing to do with me apart from my wish to see more of these lovely dogs saved.
Should you wish to read an article detailing the problem and the dreadful fate that can befall un-rescued Greyhounds, I have put a page up on one of my sites here: Greyhounds as Pets ? Why Adopt a Greyhound? | My Greyhound Space
Any help would be appreciated, however small. If anyone would consider publicising this cause through their list as well, that would be great.
I hope this post doesn't break any forum rules as it's for the dogs - not me.

You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
Build it, make money, then build some more
Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
