Row over greyhound exports to China

Protests are to be held in Dublin and London tomorrow against the export of Irish greyhounds to China.

The Irish Council Against Blood Sports (ICABS) will hold a demonstration outside the Department of Agriculture at lunchtime while the Campaign for the Abolition of Cruel Sports (CACS) and other groups will hold simultaneous protests in Dublin and outside the Irish embassy in London.

ICABS is seeking to highlight what it describes as the callous trade in Irish greyhounds to China’s only racetrack in the city of Macau.
