GAI Alert/To stop the use of Australian greyhounds in vivisection

[Guest guest]

GREYHOUND ACTION INTERNATIONAL ALERT:

 

For evidence of Australian ex-racing greyhounds used in horrific experiments

 

http://www.thylazine.org/photogallery/knight.html

 

The Australian greyhound industry is passing on countless greyhounds that are

no longer fast enough or making them a profit by selling or donating them to

vivisection laboratories for experimentation, dissection, and surgical

training.

 

These helpless victims that have already been betrayed by the racing industry

are adding to the number of tortured animals suffering in vivisection

laboratories.

 

They endure living in cramped cages in fear for their lives. They are being

abused as " subjects " of painful and horrific experiments and then ending their

days lifeless on laboratory slabs, dissected and used as body parts.

 

 

ACTION

Oppose the use of greyhounds in vivisection - you have the power to stop this

..

1.If you are a student or work at any universities or colleges that

experiment on animals please refuse to partake in their abuse. Expose their

activities

by contacting your local & national media and please ensure the rescue of the

animals.

 

2. Write to the following universities, institutions and charities urging

them to stop experimenting and dissecting animals.

 

3. Additionally write to the racing authorities and racing ministers urging

them to stop the donating, selling or passing on of greyhounds to vivisection

laboratories.

 

4. Contact your local & national media and expose the suffering endured by

greyhounds and other animals in laboratories.

 

5. Protest outside these establishments, list of addresses below.

 

6: DO NOT THROW MONEY AWAY BY SUPPORTING CHARITIES WHICH FUND ANIMAL-BASED

MEDICAL RESEARCH.
