Letter to the Editor: Time has come to wind up Cruelty Inc
The Irish greyhound industry has been exposed as a fetid petri dish of animal abuse and a shyness for the truth. The recent RTÉ Investigates programme represents a tipping point in the campaign to abolish activities that use greyhounds as gambling instruments.
After years of telling it as it is, animal rights campaigners have been vindicated in this brutally visually honest telling of how greyhound racing and hare coursing is conducted in Ireland. Any attempt to defend the indefensible must be swept aside like the pap it represents. Claims that this is a minority-led behaviour within the industry are delusional.
