 GREYHOUND ACTION INTERNATIONAL ALERT:


For evidence of Australian ex-racing greyhounds used in horrific
experiments

http://www.thylazine.org/photogallery/knight.html


 The Australian greyhound industry is passing on countless greyhounds that
are no longer fast enough or making them a profit by selling or donating
them to vivisection laboratories for experimentation, dissection, and
surgical training.

 These helpless victims that have already been betrayed by the racing
industry are adding to the number of tortured animals suffering in
vivisection laboratories.

 They endure living in cramped cages in fear for their lives. They are being
abused as "subjects" of painful and horrific experiments and then ending
their days lifeless on laboratory slabs, dissected and used as body parts.

 ACTION
Oppose the use of greyhounds in vivisection - you have the power to stop
this.
 1.If you are a student or work at any universities or colleges that
experiment on animals please refuse to partake in their abuse. Expose their
activities by contacting your local & national media and please ensure the
rescue of the animals.

 2. Write to the following universities, institutions and charities urging
them to stop experimenting and dissecting animals.

 3. Additionally write to the racing authorities and racing ministers urging
them to stop the donating, selling or passing on of greyhounds to
vivisection laboratories.

 4. Contact your local & national media and expose the suffering endured by
greyhounds and other animals in laboratories.

 5. Protest outside these establishments, list of addresses below.

 6: DO NOT THROW MONEY AWAY BY SUPPORTING CHARITIES WHICH FUND ANIMAL-BASED
MEDICAL RESEARCH.

 7.For further information on how you can help Australian greyhounds please
