Cruelty dressed up as philanthropy. Have we learned nothing from the RTE exposé on greyhound abuse in this country? If people wish to donate to worthy causes such as UHK, then do so. We don’t need entertainment at the expense of defenseless animals in the process. We have an abysmal animal welfare record in Ireland, and remain one of only 5 countries who still allow greyhound racing. Do we need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century?
