Stop handing over public money to the greyhound racing industry

We know that the vast majority of people want to see an end to greyhound racing, but there is a problem - the industry has consistently been awarded more state support. We must stop handing over our public money to the cruel greyhound racing industry.

Why is this important?

The greyhound racing industry received an increase in €2.4 million last year. This is an industry which has received €280 million in government funding since 2000.

A shocking documentary has revealed that nearly 6,000 Irish greyhounds are killed each year just for not racing fast enough and endure horrific cruelty.

Ireland is one of only eight countries in the world that still allows greyhound racing.
