Active unbiased media will help ensure fair play

FOLLOWING the derogatory letter (Irish Examiner, February 21) from the Directors of the Cork Greyhound Racing Company, most of whom are supposed to be representing Cork greyhound owners and breeders ...

... we have no alternative but to express our abhorrence of such a silly letter and at the same time show our support for the brave stand taken by the Irish Examiner.

The letter avoids the facts about the unpalatable events that are occurring within the greyhound industry - specifically, the use of drugs to enhance the performance of racing greyhounds. As we all know, this gives a huge advantage to the big-time trainers as was mentioned in the original article.
