10. Nov. 2017 — The Irish greyhound industry is now “ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION”. That’s according to the vice-chairman of the Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation (IGOBF).
In a message posted this week on the Greyhound Data website, Anthony Walsh wrote: “I am vice chairman of the Greyhound Federation and I have been involved in greyhound racing for a long number of years and if you read the IGOBF website you can see all that we have been trying to do to save this industry, which as we all know, is on the brink of extinction. We have virtually achieved nothing.”
The statement comes less than a year after Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill (nominated to Seanad Eireann by the Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation) similarly signalled the end of greyhound racing. In December, he called for action “to save the future of this great industry from its near collapse position at the moment.”
The Evening Echo’s greyhound racing correspondent recently provided a damning insight into the state of greyhound racing. In a series of tweets, Barry Drake commented that greyhound racing “has a rotten image” and is “in serious trouble”.
After attending greyhound racing in Cork’s Curraheen Park track, he tweeted “Shocking crowds, poor tote-pools, zero atmosphere, game in serious trouble. Something needs to be done quickly!”

Will New Zealand and Spain speak up for the Korean dogs?

It’s been half a year since Moon Jae-In was elected president of South Korea, giving us much hope for South Korea to end the horrific and cruel dog and cat meat trade. We are still waiting for President Moon to address this issue. We must continue to exert pressure on South Korea because we cannot wait years or decades while so many animals suffer. Your action is compassion. Thank you!!
