attendance and all profit made will go towards helping to end this
sick and cruel industry, see myspace.com/greyhoundaction and
http://www.greyhoundaction.co.uk/ This event has been organised to
tie in with the Remembering Rusty weekend; he was found dying on a
welsh hillside in May 2004 having been shot in the head and had
had his ears cut off (to remove the id racing tats they put on
their ears). Andrew Gough got 6 months for his crime - Rustys'
injuries were so bad he later died. We cannot allow this and the
other cruelty of the racing industry to be covered up or
forgotten.
Please attend if you can and please
spread the word!!!!
