Contact the following breeder and exporter of greyhounds to Asia

 

ROCKY RIDGE FARM

 

 

 

Sam Cauchi

 

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 to 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,
