There is an effort underway in New Hampshire to end greyhound racing in the state. They are calling it the Greyhound Protection Act. It is actually the Greyhound Termination Act, as if this bill passes, the breed of greyhounds as we know them will cease to exist. As a family that has adopted retired racers, we oppose this legislation. Contact your state representatives and let them know that you oppose this legislation, especially in these tough economic times.
Grey2K, the organization that lead a campaign to eradicate greyhound racing in Massachusetts, and is now lobbying state legislators in New Hampshire, receives the majority of their funding and support from The Humane Society of the United States. (HSUS) Sounds like a great organization right? Must kind of be like a national parent organization to my local Humane Society eh? I bet they save, house and shelter all kinds of animals right?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
The HSUS is a political action committee, that according to it own website, "protects all animals through legislation, litigation, investigation, education, advocacy and field work."
So, when they send you the cute little note pads and address labels in the mail and you send them a donation thinking that they save and shelter animals, you are contributing to the extremist animal rights groups like PETA which is a strategic partner with the HSUS.
