Following a very successful demonstration on November 27th, local Greyhound Action supporters have decided to launch a campaign to close the greyhound track at Henlow Stadium and are hoping to hold regular demos/leafletting there on Saturday evenings.
Please try to help/support this campaign, especially if you live in or near the Bedfordshire/North Herts area.
If you'd like to take part in demos, even if only occasionally, or help in any other way, please contact Bedfordshire Greyhound Action at bedsgreyhoundaction@hotmail.co.uk or on 07938 819794.
There was controversy surrounding the Henlow track last year when a trainer who races greyhounds there had four healthy dogs "put down" by a local vet (see www.thecomet.net/news/inquiry_launched_after_vet_destoys_greyhounds_1_271862)
In addition to such appalling incidents, the existence of the track is responsible for the putting to death of an estimated 400+ greyhounds every year, because of the demand it creates for these dogs to be bred and subsequently disposed of, after failing to make the grade as racers or when their "careers" on the track come to an end.
