| Nowhere on their website does Grey2K advocate that they do anything concrete to assist the greyhound live a better life The only thing they are pushing is the death of greyhounds caused by racing. The money they generate to spread lies seems to be going into their fat pockets to pay themselves salaries and to travel the world on their various junkets and of course, to give themselves awards and a pat on the back. Nowhere on their website do I see that the funds that they have generated have physically helped a greyhound be rehomed or be debriefed away from a racing environment Nowhere do I see them funding programs to help greyhounds find new homes or actually setting up rehoming centres. ----------------------------------------------------------- From their website: GREY2K USA Worldwide is the largest greyhound protection organization in the United States. A s a non-profit 501(c)4 organization, we work to pass stronger greyhound protection laws and to end the cruelty of dog racing on both national and international levels. We also promote the rescue and adoption of greyhounds across the globe. As we grow, GREY2K USA Worldwide continues to use resources efficiently.
Below is a summary of our 2014 expenditures. Programs: 81% of all 2014 expenditures were used directly for programs including legislative advocacy, ballot initiatives, legal research, and public education about the cruelty and killing of greyhound racing. Development: 12% of 2014 expenditures were focused on the production of adoption information and educational materials for the general public, distribution of campaign updates to supporters, upgrades to our web site, and other member services. Management & General Expenses: 7% of 2014 expenditures paid for registration and reporting in racing states, legal and accounting support, and administrative costs for our Massachusetts headquarters. Total Annual Expenses: $469, 064. ----------------------------------------------------------------- They only PROMOTE adoption, they do nothing concrete to actually make it happen Our Racing associations also PROMOTE adoption, but at least they are fuelling these rehoming programs with real money They are a society that openly wants the closure of greyhound racing This means that they have no intention of working harmoniously with the racing authorities to promote better breeding practices, better rearing and training practices, safer racetracks, education of participants in injury management and are definitely not interested in spending any money to provide or financially support any rehoming facilities. The fact that they want to close the sport only shows their ignorance of the greyhound itself, as 90% of greyhounds love the thrill and the spirit of the chase Speed, agility and the chase drive are some of the features of the greyhound and what separates it from other breeds. Greyhound racing actually promotes these qualities and the fact that they are used for this purpose provides them for a reason for the breed to exist and retains the purity of the breed. Grey2K are only there to line their own pockets and when they are finished with greyhound racing they will move onto horse racing We are the easy target for them. The sooner that they are exposed for the charlatans they are, the better the world will be. We need less B/S artists in this world. As for you Fred Barton, if you are reading, your reference to our authorities trying to clean up the sport is that they are putting 'lipstick on a pig', is way out of context and is out of order. I would say that the only reference to putting 'lipstick on a pig' that would apply is when you get up in the morning, and look in the mirror in the morning while you are having a shave
