Greyhound racing in the UK began on July 24th, 1926 at Belle Vue,
Manchester.
On the nearest Sunday to this date every year Greyhound Action will be
staging an event called Greyhound Remembrance Day, in memory of the hundreds
of thousands of dogs that have been abused and killed by the greyhound
racing industry since that day.
The event will involve the laying of flowers outside greyhound stadiums and
it is hoped that some of the people taking part will take their rescued
greyhounds along, to provide a good photo opportunity to the local media and
help to spread awareness to the general public of the need to boycott
greyhound racing (as well as encouraging the adoption of ex-racing
greyhounds).
The aim is to cover as many tracks as possible, so please let Greyhound
Action know as soon as possible if you'd like to organise, or be involved
in, a Greyhound Remembrance Day event in your local area.
Greyhound Action can provide comprehensive advice with regard to contacting
the media and will be producing special posters for use on the day.
