INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
The Vietnamese Minister of Finance has issued a draft decree to authorize
betting and wagering. If allowed to take effect, commercial greyhound racing
would expand in another part of the world.
We cannot let this happen! The expansion of dog racing to new parts of the
world will only perpetuate a cruelty that should never have existed in the
first place.
Sports Entertainment Services, the operator of the current track Lam Son,
has lobbied for these new regulations and hopes to offer greyhound expanded
gambling at its present location. The company also plans to develop a new
network of seven betting tracks throughout Vietnam. New facilities are
proposed in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Can
Tho, the creation of which would result in the breeding and destruction of
thousands of new dogs each year. See photos of Lam Son and read about our
board member's visit there last year on our web site.
GREY2K USA, joined by the Animals Asia Foundation, the RSPCA, Blue Cross of
India, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, Earth Island
Institute, Humane Society International and seven other groups that form the
Asia for Animals Coalition, has sent a letter to Vietnamese President Truong
Tan Sang urging him to stop the legalization of greyhound racing in his
country. Lend your voice by signing our petition.
Together, we can stop the potential suffering of greyhounds in a part of the
world which is particularly dangerous for dogs. Please sign and share our
petition now.
Let's do it!
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
