Hi,

Please can you sign and share the petition calling to close Wimbledon
Greyhound Stadium.

As seen with the pro-racing call to save Oxford Greyhound Track, pro-racers
are also calling to save Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium stating in their
petition that if they 'lose [their] last stadium in London, greyhound racing
in Britain will never recover'.

Plans were revealed in May to retain the abuse of Greyhounds for monetary
gains at Wimbledon, despite Racing Manager, Gary Mathews, speaking earlier
this year of the decline of the racing industry:'“Fewer people are getting
involved,” observes Gary, who is one of the clear thinkers in the game who
does not subscribe to the much-touted, misguided view held by those from
another planet that greyhound racing is currently enjoying a renaissance –
it is not, simple as!'

It seems then that Paschal Taggart, with his 'ambitious plans', is turning a
blind eye to this statement and of how just a few years ago money was thrown
at Wimbledon to 'improve the customer experience'. Mr. Taggart(ex Irish
Greyhound Board Chairman)is said to have a 'proven track record in the
managment and operation of Greyhound Stadiums', but not without controversy
in the doping of Greyhounds.

Please sign and share this petition callling on Merton Council to support
the bid from AFC Wimbledon to return football back to the site and NOT to
support a racing industry in decline, an industry only sustained on the
cruellty and abuse of thousands of Greyhounds every year.

Please see www.greyhoundsafe.com for more information/links of how to help
greyhounds.
