GAI Action Alert - Stop

Greyhound Racing in Cyprus

 

*** PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST ***

Action Alert

 

 

 

 

 

STOP Greyhound Racing in Cyprus

 

 

 

 

 

Greyhound Action International have issued

a press release in English/Turkish to the Ministry of Sports, Ministry of

Internal Affairs and the media in Cyprus calling for a ban on greyhound racing.

We are working closely with local animal rights campaigners Kopek Yarislarini

Durduralim who have been working very hard to prevent the introduction of

greyhound racing in Cyprus.

 

 

 

 

 

On the 14 of August 2004 the stadium

officially opened. Anti racing campaigners were there to protest the opening,

you can see pictures of the first demonstration on our website www.greyhoundaction.org.uk under

the international section.(please keep checking as a section for cyprus will

shortly be added).

 

 

 

 

 

So far there has been a great deal of

media/tv/radio interest with articles printed about the demonstrations, the

second of which took place on the 6th of september. At present we have the

backing of 7 parliamentary ministers and are hoping to persuade more of them

especially with the new elections coming up. There will be a press conference

on the 4th October which is the international day for animals.

 

 

 

 

 

We need your support in order to stop

greyhound racing taking off in Cyprus. The races haven't begun yet as they are

still waiting to import the greyhounds.

 

 

 

 

 

TAKE ACTION

Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to ban greyhound racing.

Dear Sir

 

 

 

 

 

I call upon you to ban greyhound racing in

Cyprus and to close down Mesarya Stadium.

Thousands of animals die each year in countries which allow greyhound racing.

The results are devastating, not only is the cruelty towards the animals

indescribable but encouraging gambling will only create problems in Cyprus.

Greyhound racing/betting attracts and is associated with the criminal

underworld and the use of illegal drugs as exposed in a documentary by the BBC.

 

 

 

 

 

Greyhound racing has been banned recently

in South Africa and also in many states in the USA. Other countries will no

doubt follow suit once they become aware of the cruelty involved. I urge you to

please take action and ban greyhound racing Cyprus.

 

 

 

 

 

Yours respectfully,
