Kennel Hand Speaks Out

http://greytexploitations.com
A kennel hand has spoken out in sheer frustration and has published his video diaries and photographs, cataloguing the appalling level of greyhound welfare deemed acceptable by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain.

The trainers refusal to accept his offers of help and the indifference shown to a series of complaints he made to officials, regarding breaches of Racing Rules, eventually broke his silence - ironically, exactly a year to the day when undercover footage was taken of the same kennels.

i dont agree with stopping greyhound racing they love to race its what there born to do if u stopped greyhound racing then they would more or less be extinct in time cos they are quite boring animals not many ppl what them for pets

and not all trainers are like this just the old lazy penneyless sick ppl who are to afraid to quit cos they got nothing else in there useless pointless lives an in turn are ruining greyhound racing

The breed would not die out as greyhounds are fantastic companion animals as thousands of people already know.

Just look at some the wonderful greyhound videos on YouTube

Hi

I used to work for a greyhound trainer and THEY ARE NOT ALLL LIKE THIS scum. Infact the trainer i worked for (Peter Payne, Romford) cared more for his dogs than us and anything else and they were all treated with the utmost of care and attention and if a dog didnt take to it then he didnt force it onto the dog at all even though they wernt his dogs he was training most of the time... so please do not tar every single greyhound trainer with the same brush. x

Hi Spinner

Greyhound protection groups dont tar everyone with the same brush.

In this case the GBGB sanctioned the disgusting conditions in these kennels and I think it only fair to question how many more kennels of this standard - or worse - are accepted by the industry's governing bodies.

The woman was clearly in breach of Racing Rules and the Animal Welfare Act but has been given a grant and allowed to continue to 'care' for greyhounds.

The GBGB are perverting the course of justice!

@jogon2009 How can you possibly say that greyhounds are boring and they would not die out to say such a thing is just absurd.

I'd just pop the kennel owner over the head and he could wake up nakid in one of those soiled kennels. With a padlock on the gate. Leave him there for 3 days. Nothing but a bucket of slimey water and a mound of shredded paper. Good times.

i have an 11 year old greyhound, a retired racer. shes my world. find her on youtube. smoking jordan. love the breed, they love you back.

@juv7 If you put them on the track you put them in harms way case closed end of story. THe injury reports speak for themselves.

[AaronCrossNZ]

@jogon2009 Saying that greyhounds are born to run is like saying women were born to cook and clean. Its merely opinion and very tasteless at that. Greyhounds are born to sleep on couches and be loved family members, not to be used by degenerate gamblers for income.

They deserve the same protection as any other dog.

End racing.

@SPINNER198323

I would assert that all greyhound racing enthusiasts are mongrel bastards, they are just at different places on the same scale.

[Gazzz87]

@jogon2009 you are a FOOL! Boring as pets?! OMFG are you serious?!

[juv7]

@Cowgal2000 i resent your remarks i race greyhounds and ther fed on the best and stay in the best there shown love and trained properly and when required the get the best medical advise so we are not all the same thank you and im very succsessful in what i do

[nicolarsefir]

The owner of these kennels should be ashamed if he has kept them locked up for a couple of days without food, being cleaned or seeing anyone.

And to tell a Kennelhand not to change the beds because they haven't got any bedding is a disgrace.......

However, this kennel, thankfully, is in a minority as I work in a Greyhound Kennel where they are spotless! A child cud live in them they are so clean.

Greyhounds really do love their racing and are looked after better than any pet dog boarding kennel

@SPINNER198323 what did peter payne do with his dogs after their racing life was over. Could he be thinking more of the dogs wellbeing because its the most important part of training a dog to ensure its in great health. I dont mind people owning dogs and racing them but first they must be treated as pets and a dog is for life is followed.
