Contact the following breeder and exporter of greyhounds to Asia

ROCKY RIDGE FARM

Background:

Rocky Ridge Farm (RRF) is owned and operated by Sam Cauchi and his family at

Calga in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

They have been involved in greyhound racing in Australia for nearly 40 years

as trainers, trial track operators, and breeders. They have sent vast numbers

of greyhounds to their deaths by exporting them for breeding /racing to SE

Asia in particularly Macau and Korea.

SAMPLE LETTER

 

Dear Mr. Cauchi

I am writing t! o you regarding the export of greyhounds to Asia. I believe

that you are directly responsible for sending vast numbers of greyhounds to

Asia for racing and breeding.

As a breeder and trainer you must be aware of the high numbers of greyhounds

that are disposed of by the racing industry in Australia when they become

surplus to racing requirements. Only a very few dogs manage to find good

homes. The majority of the greyhounds that are bred are unaccounted for.

You must also be aware that the conditions for greyhounds exported to Asia

are by far worse then in Australia. There is no opportunity or hope of

rehoming greyhounds in Asia. It has been reported by the media that many

greyhounds in Asia in places such as Macau, Korea, Vietnam and China have

either been discovered slaughtered in landfills or have ended their days in

the barbaric dogmeat industry, suffering horrific cruelty along with other

breeds of dogs, until they are finally butchered.

 

I urge you to reconsider your actions and stop exporting greyhounds to Asia.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Name.......

Address......

Country.......
