| Demo outside Hall Green Stadium, Birmingham during Greyhound Awareness Week |
The Week gave an opportunity for all those concerned about the plight of greyhounds to educate the public about the mass slaughter of dogs caused by the greyhound racing industry, and street stalls, demos outside greyhound tracks and other educational events took place in various parts of the country.
What was particularly pleasing this year was the amount of media attention generated, with many of our supporters' letters being published in local newspapers and an extensive report on Sky News (see http://tinyurl.com/SkyNews-GAW).
The week ended with an exposé of cruel greyhound breeder Charles Pickering, following a Greyhound Action investigation (see http://www.greytexploitations.com/resources-and-reports/zigzag-stud-and-puppy-farm-suppliers-to-liverpool-university-a-the-racing-industry).
